In September 2000, the Philadelphia office of the EEOC brought this suit for violation of Title VII against The Lion Brewery in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The EEOC alleged that the Defendant discriminated on the basis of sex, by failing to hire qualified females. The case settled by entry of a consent decree one day later. This Decree required the Defendant to: pay $500,000 in damages to the complainants, to post notice, to refrain from discriminating or retaliating against employees, and to provide annual training to all supervisory, managing, or hiring employees. This decree has a term of 2 years.
