Case Summary

On February 13, 2006, the San Francisco District Office of the EEOC filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. The plaintiffs sued Kovacevich 5 Farms for violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1946. The EEOC represented six female applicants who alleged that Kovavevich 5 Farms had refused to hire them because of their sex. The plaintiffs sought injunctive relief and financial compensation.

On February 13, 2006, the San Francisco District Office of the EEOC filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. The plaintiffs sued Kovacevich 5 Farms for violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1946. The EEOC represented six female applicants who alleged that Kovavevich 5 Farms had refused to hire them because of their sex. The plaintiffs sought injunctive relief and financial compensation.

On August 23, 2006, the six female applicants filed a complaint in intervention to be interveners in the EEOC’s suit. The defendant moved to dismiss the intervenors' suit for failure to state a claim, which was denied. 2006 WL 3050149 (E.D. Cal. 2006). The defendant also moved for summary judgment on the intervenors' claims, and the intervenors moved to certify a class. The defendant's motion for summary judgment was denied, and the intervenors' motion to certify a class was deferred. 2007 WL 1174444 (E.D. Cal. 2007).

On November 26, 2008, District Court Judge Oliver W. Wagner approved the proposed consent decree. The consent decree was set to last for five years and included $1,680,000 in monetary relief for the six female applicants and the class of workers represented. The decree also included injunctive relief. It enjoined the defendant from future discrimination or retaliation; required the defendant revise its EEO, hiring, and complaint policies; required anti-discrimination trainings for all current and new employees; and required hiring goals for female employees. Its effective period was five years, and there is nothing further on the docket - so presumably the matter ended in 2013.
