Case Number: 1:22-cv-02968
Judge: Karen M. Williams
Court: United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (Camden County)
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney: Michael Joseph Miles and Sean Patrick O'Brien
Description: Camden, New Jersey civil rights lawyers represented Plaintiff who sued Defendant on a job discrimination theory.
42 U.S.C. 2000e provides:
For many years in this country, discrimination in employment, education, and housing on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, and gender was a legal and accepted practice. Gradually more and more individuals challenged the rights of property owners and employers to deny equal opportunity to all citizens. These protests eventually forged a coalition that resulted in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,[1] which made such actions illegal.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964[2] establishes a specific prohibition against employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, and national origin.[3] Under the act, discrimination on these grounds by employers who have 15 or more employees is prohibited in all aspects of the employment process, i.e., job applications, hiring, termination, promotions, training, wages and compensation, and all other terms or conditions of employment. Section 703(a) of title VII reads in part:
It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer . . . to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
To enforce the provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) was established and charged with the responsibility to investigate alleged and suspected acts of employment discrimination.[4] The EEOC's jurisdiction encompasses all government employers, including Federal, State, and local entities and their subunits, private employers, employment agencies, educational institutions, and labor organizations.
Outcome: Settled for an undisclosed sum and dismissed with prejudice.
