Case Summary

In July 2003, the Pittsburgh Area Office of the EEOC brought this suit against Akers National Roll Company in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The only document publicly available regarding this case is the docket; therefore, the exact allegations involved are unknown. The defendant filed a motion to dismiss about a month after the complaint was filed. The motion was denied in October 2003. After some case management orders, the parties participated in mediation in March 2004 where it appears they reached a tentative agreement. They finally settled in July 2004 through a consent decree.
