In August 2004, the Chicago Office of the EEOC brought this lawsuit against Bob Waston Chevrolet in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging discrimination and retaliation in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, the complaint alleged that the defendant subjected the three complainants, female employees, to a sexually hostile work environment and retaliated against them following their opposition to these practices. Following some discovery and several settlement conferences, the parties settled the lawsuit in March 2006 through a consent decree.
The two year decree, containing anti-discrimination and retaliation clauses, required the defendant to: report to the EEOC regarding complaints and make other reports, keep records and allow the EEOC access for monitoring, post notice of rights, provide EEOC training to managerial employees and owners, and pay $28,500 to be evenly divided among three individuals. The docket sheet does not show any further enforcement; the case was presumably closed in 2008.
