Case Summary

In May 2006, the EEOC's Detroit office filed this suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against Shefenacker Vision Systems USA, Inc. alleging violations of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). The EEOC alleged that the defendant had fired a woman during a reduction-in-force event solely because she was sixty years old. The parties came to an agreement in the form of a consent decree in November 2006, which was adopted by the court. The decree ordered the defendant to pay the complainant $28,500 in monetary relief and enjoined the defendant from discriminating or retaliating in the future. Further, the defendant was ordered to institute an ADEA training program for its supervisors and managers, post a notice of equal employment rights in its place of business and provide the EEOC with reports on each incidence of discrimination based on race and all remedial action taken.

The decree was entered in 2006 and scheduled to last 2007. No further docket entries exist, so the case is closed.
