In September 2001, the Chicago Office of the EEOC filed this lawsuit against Motorola Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging discrimination on the basis of religion in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, the complaint alleged that the defendant failed to accommodate the religious observance requests of the complaining parties and terminated their employment. Following some discovery, the parties settled the lawsuit through a consent decree in January 2002.
The one-year consent decree, containing anti-discrimination and retaliation clauses, required the defendant to: report complaints and make other compliance reports, keep records of compliance and make them available to the EEOC for inspection, post notice of employee rights, provide EEO training, and pay $30,000 to be distributed among two complaining parties and $30,000 to their attorney.
