The charging party intervened in the lawsuit in December 1997. We do not have a copy of the complaint; therefore, the exact allegations involved are unknown. Following denial of the EEOC's motion to publish a notice to potential class members and the voluntary dismissal of the charging party, the defendant and EEOC settled the lawsuit in September of 1998 through a consent decree. We do not have a copy of the consent decree; therefore, the exact settlement terms involved are unknown. Daisy Manning - 09/27/2007 compress summary
