In September 2006, the Phoenix Office of the EEOC brought a suit against Sunwest Federal Credit Union in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. The suit alleged a violation of Title VII in the form of sex discrimination and retaliation. Specifically, the defendant allegedly subjected a class of female employees, including the charging party, to sexual, gender-based harassment. When the charging party objected to this treatment, she was allegedly disciplined, threatened, and subjected to further harassment. Eventually, she was discharged.
One of the charging parties intervened in the case as a plaintiff. In December 2007, the case was resolved by a consent decree. The defendant was ordered to pay a total of $250,000. The consent decree also included a variety of injunctive relief, specifying in some detail an anti-discrimination policy, a training program, and a grievance procedure that the defendant must implement. The decree was to last for two years. The docket sheet shows that no further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2009.
