Abstractive Method

The Washington, D.C. office of the EEOC brought this action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, against Ford Motor Company. The complaint, filed in December 2016, alleged race discrimination in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, the complaint alleged that Defendant LJAC’s apprenticeship test had a disparate impact on African-American apprenticeship applicants and consequently denied them eligibility and admission to the apprenticeship program. The charging parties intervened in the suit in January 2017. The parties settled the lawsuit in February 2017 through a consent decree. The consent decree included non-discrimination and non-retaliation clauses, required Defendant to provide the charging parties with neutral references, expungement of their employment records, and costs of the settlement. The docket sheet does not show any further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2018.
