EXHIBIT A
NOTICE TO ALL RANGER ENTERPRISES & REOPCO EMPLOYEES
This Notice is being posted pursuant to a Consent Decree entered by the federal court in EEOC v. Ranger Enterprises, Inc. and Reopco, Inc., No. 05 C 50184 (N.D. Ill.), settling a lawsuit filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") against Ranger Enterprises and Reopeo, (collectively "Defendants"). Settlement of this case should not be construed as an admission by any party of liability or non-liability with respect to any claims or defenses raised in the lawsuit.
In its suit, the EEOC alleged that Defendants discharged a former employee due to her religion. EEOC also alleged that Defendants retaliated against the former employee for resisting religious overtures and asking not to receive e-mails with religious content. These allegations were denied by Defendants.
To resolve the case, Defendants and the EEOC have entered in to a Consent Decree which requires, among other things, that:
1) Defendants will pay back wages and attorneys fees to a former employee;
2) Defendants will not discriminate on the basis of religion;
3) Defendants will not retaliate against any person because s/he opposed any practice made unlawful by Title VII, filed a Title VII charge of discrimination, participated in any Title VII proceeding, or asserted any rights under the Consent Decree.
The EEOC enforces the federal laws against discrimination in employment on the basis of religion, race, color, national origin, sex, age and disability. If you believe you have been discriminated against, you may contact the EEOC at (312) 353-8195. The EEOC charges no fees and has employees who speak languages other than English.
THIS IS AN OFFICIAL NOTICE AND MUST NOT BE DEFACED BY ANYONE
This Notice must remain posted for two years from the date below and must not be altered, defaced or covered by any other material. Any questions about this Notice or compliance with its terms may be directed to: Ranger Settlement, EEOC 500 West Madison Street, Suite 2800, Chicago, Illinois 60661.
