This case was brought by the Charlotte District Office in the Eastern District of North Carolina. The defendant was Cott Beverage USA, a company that produces and distributes a wide variety of carbonated beverages. The EEOC brought its claim in September of 2000 alleging violations of the Equal Pay Act and Title VII as a result of the company paying its only female supervisor wages that were lower than those paid to the males.
The case was settled with a consent decree in January 2001. The complainant received damages in the amount of $15,569. The three year consent decree required a one-time training program, posting of notice, and semi-annual reporting requirements.
