In August 2004, the EEOC district office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania brought this suit against Bare Feet Shoes of Pennsylvania, Inc., a casual shoe retailer, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Two female aggrieved employees are named in the complaint, but only one intervened. Both women claimed sexual harassment and hostile working conditions in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. One of the women alleged constructive discharge as well. The female employee who intervened voluntarily dismissed her case in October 2005. The EEOC also voluntarily dismissed its claims concerning the intervenor. The claims on behalf of the second aggrieved employee proceeded. After a failed defense motion for summary judgment, the parties settled, and a consent decree was entered in June 2006. No documents pertaining to dismissal of any party or the consent decree are currently available.
