The EEOC's San Antonio district office sued Autotronic Controls Corporation, an engine component manufacturer, on May 4, 2000 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. The EEOC's complaint is unavailable, however their allegations are contained in the available consent decree, which was signed on February 7, 2001. The EEOC alleged that Autotronic violated Title VII when it discriminated based on race (African American) by creating a hostile work environment and then retaliating against the aggrieved employee for his complaint. The settlement agreement stipulated that Autotronic would pay the aggrieved employee $87,500 in damages, post notice and distribute a pamphlet of EEO rights, provide training for all management personnel, and allow the EEOC to inspect the defendant's El Paso facilities to ensure compliance with the consent decree.
