The Memphis office of the EEOC brought this action in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee, against Fred's Stores of Tennessee, Inc. The complaint was filed in September 2004, and alleged sex discrimination in violation of Title VII. The parties entered into a consent decree in February 2006. The decree was valid for two years and required Defendant to pay $30,000 to the charging party. Defendant was enjoined from discriminating or retaliating in violation of Title VII, and required to post and distribute a notice of non-discrimination, provide Title VII training to its mangers, follow recruitment, hiring, and promotion protocols, and comply with advertising/recruiting requirements. Defendant was also required to report regularly to the EEOC. The docket sheet does not show any further enforcement; the case was presumably closed in 2008.
