In August 2002, the EEOC district office in Charlotte, North Carolina brought this action against Furnitureland South, Inc., a general home furnishings retail firm, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. Although the complaint is unavailable, the consent decree indicates that a male employee alleged that the defendant violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by discriminating against him on the basis of national origin. After the parties attended mediation, they settled and a consent decree was entered in May 2003.
In the consent decree, the parties agreed that the defendant would refrain from retaliating and discriminating on the basis of national origin, pay the aggrieved party $10,000, provide EEO training, and post an EEO notice. No fees or costs were awarded. The terms of the agreement ran for one year.
