The EEOC alleged that the defendant had illegally discharged an employee in retaliation for filing a charge with the EEOC against defendant. The defendant filed a motion for summary judgment in April 2002 which was never ruled on due to a successful settlement conference in May 2002 that resulted in a consent decree. The decree ordered the defendant to pay $32,500 to the complainant. In addition, the defendant agreed to post a notice of equal employment opportunity laws at its place of business and to institute an equal employment opportunity training program for its managerial and non-managerial employees.
