The EEOC's San Antonio office, in conjunction with its New York office, filed this suit on December 2, 1998 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Laredo Division. The EEOC alleged that defendant Laredo Medical Group discriminated against three female Hispanic employees on the basis of their sex and national origin by creating a hostile work environment, constructively discharging one employee, and retaliating in violation of Title VII. The defendant answered on March 17, 1999 and the parties settled by consent decree on April 12, 1999. The defendant agreed to pay the complainants $150,000, as well as expunging their employment records and providing them neutral references. The defendant also agreed to refrain from discriminating and retaliating, provide training for managers and human resource personnel and allow the EEOC access to inspect.
