Case Summary

In March 2001, the EEOC district office in Denver, Colorado brought this suit against Cundy Asphalt Paving Construction, Inc., a general paving firm, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming. The complaint alleged that the defendant violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by firing an employee who became pregnant and was therefore temporarily unable to do any heavy lifting.

The parties settled the case and a consent decree was entered in September 2001. The defendant agreed to pay the aggrieved woman $25,000, refrain from retaliating and discriminating based on sex, post an EEO notice, adopt a new gender/pregnancy discrimination policy (if needed), post and distribute the potentially new policy, issue neutral references, provide EEO training, and submit semiannual complaint reports to the EEOC. No fees or costs were awarded. The terms of the agreement ran for three years.
