In February 2000, the Memphis Office of the EEOC filed this lawsuit against Magnetek, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. We do not have a copy of the complaint; therefore, the exact allegations involved are unknown. However, it appears from the consent decree that the complaint alleged the defendant discriminated against women by failing to hire female applicants for operative positions in its facility in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Following some discovery, the parties settled the lawsuit in June 2001 through a consent decree. The consent decree required the defendant to pay $200,000 to an unspecified number of individuals.
