The Phoenix district office and Albuquerque office of the EEOC brought this case against Lockheed Martin Corporation, d/b/a Lockheed Martin Mission Systems in July 2001 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico. The complaint alleged that two female employees were subjected to verbal and physical sexual harassment by their immediate supervisor in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. More specifically, one of the complainants alleged that she was subjected to harassment based upon her gender, and as a consequence of the resultant hostile work environment, she was forced to resign. The other complainant entered the suit as an intervenor. After some dispute over the scope of discovery, the parties reached a settlement agreement in May 2002.

The agreement included non-discrimination and non-retaliation clauses. The agreement required Lockheed Martin Corporation to revise a Title VII policy and post the policy and required Lockheed Martin Corporation to provide training to all employees and require new employees or employees returning from leave to watch a video tape of the training. The agreement also called for the appointment of an employee to serve as an investigative officer. The EEOC maintained the ability to inspect the premises with reasonable notice to Lockheed Martin Corporation. The injunctive parts of the agreement had a two year term. If the EEOC found non-compliance, the settlement agreement called for court enforcement and the possible indefinite extension of the agreement. In addition, Lockheed Martin Corporation agreed to pay the two complainants damages of $140,000 and $60,000 respectively.
