In September 2005, the Philadelphia District Office of the EEOC brought this suit against Rite Aid Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania alleging retaliation in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, the complaint alleged that the defendant unreasonably disciplined and terminated the charging party, a female employee, after she complained that she was being discriminated against by her supervisor because of her sex. The charging party intervened in the suit in November 2005. After a scheduling order, the parties settled in March 2006 through a consent decree.
The two-year decree, containing non-discrimination and non-retaliation clauses, required the defendant to: provide the charging party with a neutral employment reference, post a notice of the decree, report the EEOC at specified intervals, provide Title VII training for all its managers and supervisors, and pay the charging party $93,000. The docket sheet doesn't show any further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2008.
