The EEOC's Miami district office filed suit against Lupis Enterprises, Inc., the Puerto Rican parent company of the Lupis Mexican Grill & Sports Cantina, on September 30, 2004 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico. The EEOC's complaint alleged that Lupis violated Title VII when it engaged in discrimination based on sex (female) against four employees, providing a hostile work environment, unfair scheduling, and retaliated against one of the employees when she complained by firing her. Lupis filed a motion for summary judgment in September 2006 which was never resolved. The parties entered into a consent judgment on December 21, 2006. The consent judgment enjoined Lupis from future discrimination and required development of a policy against sexual harassment, Title VII compliance training for managerial and supervisory staff and posting of notice of compliance with Title VII. The consent judgment further required Lupis to pay $55,000 in damages to the four aggrieved employees. The decree was to last for two years. The docket sheet doesn't show any further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2008.
