In September 2001, the EEOC district office in Chicago, Illinois brought this suit against ATMI Precast and the Waubonsee Development Company in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint alleged violations Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 based on national origin discrimination. Specifically, employees claimed that the defendant paid Mexicans lower wages, constructively discharged them, refused to hire/transfer Mexicans, and did not respond to complaints of national origin discrimination. After appearances were entered, the case was settled and a consent decree was entered in August 2002.
In the consent decree, the parties agreed that the defendant would pay the aggrieved males $132,500, refrain from discriminating or retaliating on the basis of national origin, advertise jobs in English and Spanish, post EEO notices, make semiannual reports of all complaints, and keep all employment records for EEOC inspection. No fees or costs were awarded. The terms of the decree ran for three years.
