We do not have a copy of the complaint; therefore, the exact allegations involved are unknown. The charging parties intervened in the lawsuit in February 2002. Following a transfer of venue to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, some discovery and mediation, the parties settled the lawsuit in June 2002 through a consent decree. The one year decree, containing an anti-retaliation clause, required the defendant to: distribute a notice regarding employee rights to all managers for signature and pay $20,000 to be distributed among two complainants.
