In June 2005, the Oklahoma City Area Office of the EEOC brought this lawsuit against Action, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma alleging discrimination on the basis of sex in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, the complaint alleged that the defendant subjected the two charging parties, male employees, to a sexually hostile work environment resulting in the constructive, and in one case retaliatory, discharge of the charging parties. The charging parties intervened in the lawsuit in October 2005. Following a successful motion for partial summary Judgment by the EEOC, the parties settled the lawsuit in June 2006 through a consent decree.
The two-year decree, containing agreements not to discriminate or retaliate, required the defendant to: expunge the complainants' employment record of any reference to the lawsuit, post notice of employee rights and provide anti-discrimination training to all employees once a year for two years, implement a dispute resolution mechanism, report to the EEOC regarding internal complaints of sexual harassment and pay $40,000 to be distributed among two individuals. The docket sheet doesn't show any further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2008.
