In September 2003, the Chicago office of the EEOC brought this Title VII against Streator Brick Co. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint alleged that the defendant discriminated against the claimants by subjecting the claimants (a class of black employees) and a class of white employees who associated with them to racial harassment. The case settled by entry of a consent decree in June 2004.
The three year consent decree required the defendant to refrain from discrimination and retaliation, pay the claimants $35,000, provide Title VII training for all employees, post notice, and keep record and give the EEOC reports on any complaints of race discrimination made by an employee of the defendant.
