CONSENT DECREE

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “Commission”) instituted this action pursuant to Section 706(f)(1) and (3) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 2000e-5(f)(1) and (3) (“Title VII”), and Section 102 of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, 42 U.S.C. § 1981a. The Commission’s Amended Complaint alleged that Defendant RWM Casters Company, A Division of Staunton Capital, Inc. (“Defendant”) subjected Glenda Green to a sexually hostile work environment because of her sex, female, and discharged her in retaliation for filing a charge of discrimination.
The Commission and the Defendant hereby stipulate to jurisdiction of the Court over the parties and agree that the subject matter of this action is properly before the Court.
The parties have advised this Court that they desire to resolve the allegations in the Commission’s complaint without the burden, expense, and delay of further litigation.
It is therefore the finding of this Court, made on the pleadings and the record as a whole, that:

(1) the Court has jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter of this action; (2) the purpose and provisions of Title VII will be promoted and effectuated by the entry of the Consent Decree; and (3) this Decree resolves all matters in controversy between the parties as provided in paragraphs 1 through 16 below.
It is therefore ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED as follows: 1. Defendant shall not discriminate against any person on the basis of sex or any other protected category within the meaning of Title VII. 2. Defendant shall not discriminate or retaliate against any person because of opposition to any practice made unlawful under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or because of the filing of a charge, the giving of testimony or assistance, or the participation in any investigation, proceeding or hearing under that statute. 3. Defendant shall pay damages in the amount of Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00) in settlement of the claims raised in this action. Defendant shall make payment by issuing a check payable to Glenda Green. Payment shall be made within fifteen (15) days after the Court approves this Consent Decree, and Defendant shall mail the check to Ms. Green at an address provided by the Commission. Within ten (10) days after the check has been sent, Defendant shall mail to Lynette A. Barnes, Regional Attorney, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, 129 W. Trade Street, Suite 400, Charlotte N.C., 28202, a copy of the check and proof of its delivery to Ms. Green. 4. If Defendant receives any inquiries regarding the employment of Glenda Green, Defendant shall provide a neutral reference consisting only of Ms. Green’s dates of employment, positions held, and last hourly wage. 5. Within ten (10) days of the entry of this decree by the Court, Defendant shall
2

Within fifteen (15) days of the entry of this decree by the Court, Defendant shall report compliance with this provision to the Commission.
6. Within sixty (60) days of the entry of this Decree by the Court, Defendant shall revise its current written anti-harassment policy to include a statement that federal equal employment opportunity laws prohibit harassment on the basis of sex, religion, national origin, race, disability and age. Defendant shall distribute to its current employees a copy of the revised policy within the aforementioned sixty (60) day time period. Within seventy (70) days of the entry of this Decree, Defendant shall report compliance to the Commission. During the term of this Decree, Defendant shall distribute the revised policy to all new employees and train new employees on the policy at the time of hire.
Defendant’s current anti-harassment policy also appears in Defendant’s employee handbook and may remain in Defendant’s employee handbook until such time as Defendant revises its employee handbook. At the time that Defendant revises its employee handbook, the revised anti-harassment policy will also appear in Defendant’s employee handbook. Within ten (10) days after the handbook has been revised, Defendant shall notify the Commission of the handbook revision and compliance with this provision.
7. During the term of this Decree, Defendant shall post a copy of its revised policy described in paragraph 6, supra, in all of its facilities in a place where it is visible to employees. Within ten (10) days after the policy has been revised, Defendant will post its revised policy and
3

notify the Commission that it has been posted. If the policy becomes defaced or unreadable, Defendant shall replace it by posting another copy of the policy.
8. During the term of this Decree, Defendant shall provide an annual training program to all of its managers, supervisors and employees. Each training program shall include an explanation of the requirements of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and its prohibition against sexual harassment and retaliation in the workplace. Each training program shall also include an explanation of Defendant’s policy referenced in paragraph 6, supra, and an explanation of the rights and responsibilities of employees and managers under the policy.
Defendant certifies it conducted a training program that complies with this provision of the decree on November 20, 2006. Each subsequent training program shall be conducted in approximately one-year intervals from the November 20, 2006 training. At least fifteen (15) days prior to each program, Defendant shall provide the Commission with an agenda for the training program. Within ten (10) days after completion of each training program, Defendant shall certify to the Commission the specific training which was undertaken and shall provide the Commission with a roster of all employees in attendance.
9. Beginning within thirty (30) days after the entry of this Decree by the Court, and continuing throughout the term of this Decree, Defendant shall conspicuously post the attached Employee Notice, marked Appendix A, hereby made a part of this Decree, in a place where it is visible to employees at its facilities. If the Notice becomes defaced or unreadable, Defendant shall replace it by posting another copy of the Notice. Within forty-five (45) days after entry of this Decree, Defendant shall notify the Commission that the Notice has been posted pursuant to this provision.
4

10. During the term of this Consent Decree, Defendant shall provide the Commission with reports at six (6) month intervals, with the first being due four (4) months after approval by the Court of this Decree. The reports will include the following information:

The Defendant shall have ten (10) days in which to investigate and respond to the allegations.
