Case Summary

The EEOC's Dallas district office sued Sidex International Furniture Corporation on March 11, 1997 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas for Title VII sex discrimination and retaliation. The EEOC's complaint is unavailable and, consequently, little else about the EEOC's cause of action is known. The parties entered into a settlement agreement on May 13, 1998, the contents of which are unknown.
