The Philadelphia office of the EEOC brought this action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, against Wheels of Wellness, Inc. The complaint, filed in September 2005, alleged sex discrimination in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; specifically that Defendant subjected the charging party to sexual harassment.
In January 2006 the parties entered into a consent decree. The decree, valid for three years, required Defendant to pay a total of $60,200 ($30,200 to the charging party and $6,000 each to five other female employees). Defendant was enjoined from discriminating or retaliating in violation of Title VII, and required to provide Title VII training to its employees, post a notice of non-discrimination at its facility, draft a policy against discrimination, harassment and retaliation, and draft a complaint procedure. The term of the decree was three years. The docket sheet doesn't show any further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2009.
