In March 1999, the Seattle District Office of the EEOC brought this suit against Bon Appetit Management Co., Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. We do not have a copy of the complaint; therefore, the exact allegations involved are unknown. It appears from the consent decree that the complaint alleged that the defendant violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by refusing to hire the charging party, a pregnant applicant, because of her sex and pregnancy. After the defendant's answer to the complaint and a single scheduling order, the parties settled in May 2000 through a consent decree.
The thirty-eight month decree prohibited the defendant from discriminating and retaliating and required it to: develop a written EEO policy and complaint procedure, post a notice of the decree, provide EEO training for all its managers, report to the EEOC at specified intervals, and pay $36,843.24 to be divided between two individuals.
