S/THOMAS M. GOLDEN THOMAS M. GOLDEN, J.
1 Individual Plaintiffs James Slater and Keith Riddick allege that they were subject to racial harassment while they were working at a construction site controlled by Defendant Conectiv in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The harassment allegedly consisted of racial graffiti on bathroom walls, racial jokes and derogatory racial statements. Slater and Riddick have asserted claims against their respective labor unions for violations of Title VII and 42 U.S.C. § 1981. They have also asserted a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress. A labor union may only be held liable under Title VII if the Union itself instigated or actively supported the discriminatory acts, or if it refuses to process grievances either because of the race of the member filing the grievance or the content of the grievance concerns allegations of racial discrimination. Anjelino v. New York Times, 200 F.3d 73, 95-96 (3d Cir. 1999); EEOC v. Pipefitters Association Local No. 597, 334 F.3d 656 (7th Cir. 2003); Thorn v. Amalgamated Transit Union, 305 F.3d 826 (8th Cir. 2002). Labor unions do not have an affirmative duty to investigate and take steps to remedy employer discrimination. Id. Upon further review of the record, the Court finds that there is no evidence that either Union instigated or actively supported the alleged discriminatory acts or refused to process a grievance on behalf of Slater or Riddick because of their race. Indeed there is no evidence in the record that either Slater or Riddick even filed a grievance with their respective Unions or complained to a union official. At best, the record reveals the Unions engaged in non-actionable passive acquiescence of the alleged racial harassment. Accordingly, the Union Defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter of law.

Inc./Hake Group ("Bogan/Hake") under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title I of the

Civil Rights Act of 1991 to correct unlawful employment practices on the basis ofrace (Black) and

to provide appropriate relief to Charging Party Keith Riddick, and a class of similarly situated Black

~OTlCE TO CONECTIV EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYEES OF CONTRACTORS WORKING ON CONECTIV CONSTRUCTION SITES
This Notice is posted pursuant to a Consent Decree entered by the federal court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in EEOC v. Conectiv, et al, Civil Action Number 05-3389, resolving a lawsuit filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") against Conectiv and several other companies.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,42 V.S.c. § 2000e ~ seq., as amended ("Title VII"), prohibits discrimination against employees and applicants for employment based upon race, national origin, sex, color or religion. Title VII further prohibits retaliation against employees or applicants who avail themselves of the rights under Title VII by engaging in protected activities, such as filing a charge of discrimination and/or testifying or participating in a Commission investigation. The EEOC is the federal agency which investigates charges of unlawful employment discrimination. The EEOC has the authority to bring lawsuits in federal court to enforce Title VII.
In its lawsuit, the EEOC alleged, and Conectiv denied, that Black individuals employed by construction contractors on a Conectiv construction site were subject to harassment because of their race and Conectiv failed to prevent such harassment. The alleged harassment included, but was not limited to, racist graffiti in portable toilets on the construction site and derogatory comments from some contractors' managers and co-workers, in violation of Title VII.
To resolve the case, Conectiv and the EEOC have entered into a Consent Decree which provided, among other things, that: (l) Conectiv pay monetary relief to the aggrieved individuals; (2) Conectiv shall not engage in any practice which operates to harass based on race employees of contractors working on the development of any site with electric generating equipment with a total capacity equal to or above 125megawatts (" Conectiv Construction Site"); (3) Conectiv shall not retaliate against any person because he or she opposed any practice at a Conectiv Construction Site 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; and (4) Conectiv will train all managers and supervisors assigned to work at Conectiv Construction Sites regarding harassment of, and retaliation against, contractor employees, and regarding its policy prohibiting such harassment or retaliation.
If you believe you have been discriminated against, you may contact the EEOC at (215) 440-2600. 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 a period of four (4) 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 the: Regional Attorney, EEOC Philadelphia District Office, 21 South 5th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

The EEOC is the federal agency which investigates charges of unlawful employment discrimination. The EEOC has the authority to bring lawsuits in federal court to enforce Title VII.
To resolve the case, Dellovade and the EEOC have entered into a Consent Decree which provided, among other things, that: (1) Dellovade pay monetary relief to the aggrieved individual; (2) Dellovade shall not discriminate on the basis of race in the future; (3) Dellovade shall not retaliate against any person because he or she 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; and (4) Dellovade will train all managers, supervisors, and employees regarding discrimination, harassment and retaliation, and regarding its policy prohibiting discrimination, harassment and retaliation.

Opinion
MEMORANDUM and ORDER
PRATTER, J.
*1 The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”) filed an action against Defendants Conectiv, A.C. Dellovade, Inc., Steel Suppliers Erectors, Inc., and Bogan, Inc. alleging that the Defendants violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 1991 (“Title VII”), 42 U.S.C. § 2000e, et seq., by allegedly allowing, inter alia, egregious racial harassment in the form of racist graffiti, display of a hangman’s noose, racial slurs, and racially derogatory comments to occur at a construction site. Subsequently, Plaintiffs James T. Slater, Roy Lee Grimes, Keith Riddick, and Jeffery Campbell (collectively the “Plaintiffs”) filed individual actions against various defendants, including Conectiv, all relating to the same factual background as the EEOC Complaint. The Court ordered the cases to be consolidated during discovery, with the issue to be reviewed after the close of discovery. Defendant Bogan, Inc. (“Bogan”) filed a Motion to

Dismiss Count I of Plaintiff Campbell’s complaint, in which Mr. Campbell alleged that Bogan violated Title VII. Mr. Campbell opposes Bogan’s Motion. For the reasons discussed below, the Court grants Bogan’s motion and will dismiss Mr. Campbell’s individual Title VII claims.

I. FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY In 2001, Conectiv began construction on a new power plant in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Plaintiffs all worked at the Bethlehem site at various times and for various employers. Mr. Campbell began working at the Bethlehem site as an electrician sometime in February or March 2002. Mr. Campbell alleges that he was subjected to egregious racial harassment, which included spoken racial slurs and racist graffiti inside the portable restrooms at the job site. Mr. Campbell alleges that he complained to his head foreman about the racist behavior, but that there was no investigation or remediation. Mr. Campbell was laid off from his job in December 2002 and was not brought back to the job site to work after that time.
Messrs. Slater, Grimes, and Riddick filed charges of discrimination with the EEOC alleging violations of Title VII at the Bethlehem job site. Mr. Campbell filed no such charge with the EEOC or its state equivalent, the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission. On July 1, 2005, the EEOC filed a Complaint against Defendants Conectiv, A.C. Dellovade, Inc., Steel Suppliers Erectors, Inc., and Bogan, Inc. alleging that the Defendants violated Title VII by subjecting Messrs. Slater, Grimes, and Riddick (the “Charging Parties”), as well as a class of similarly situated black employees (the “Class”) to a racially hostile work environment. The EEOC Complaint indicated that the “class” includes prime contractors and subcontractor employees.
Also on July 1, 2005, Plaintiffs Riddick, Slater, and Grimes filed their individual actions against Conectiv and various other defendants alleging violations arising out of the same factual background as alleged in the EEOC Complaint. Messrs. Slater, Grimes and Riddick, in their individual actions, all filed motions to intervene in the EEOC action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24(a) and to consolidate the cases.1 On October 11, 2005, after hearing the parties’ positions on the issue, the Court consolidated the three individual actions with the EEOC action, stating that the Court would revisit the consolidation issue following the close of discovery.

1

Fed.R.Civ.P. 24 provides:

(a) Intervention of Right. Upon timely

application anyone shall be permitted to

intervene in an action: (1) when a statute of the

1

E.E.O.C. v. Conectiv, Not Reported in F.Supp.2d (2006)
United States confers an unconditional right to intervene; ... (b) Permissive Intervention. Upon timely application anyone may be permitted to intervene in an action: (1) when a statute of the United States confers a conditional right to intervene; or (2) when an applicant’s claim or defense and the main action have a question of law or fact in common.... In exercising its discretion the court shall consider whether the intervention will unduly delay or prejudice the adjudication of the rights of the original parties. ... (c) Procedure. A person desiring to intervene shall serve a motion to intervene upon the parties as provided in Rule 5. The motion shall state the grounds therefor and shall be accompanied by a pleading setting forth the claim or defense for which intervention is sought. The same procedure shall be followed when a statute of the United States gives a right to intervene. ... In addition, Title VII provides that “the person or persons aggrieved shall have the right to intervene in a civil action brought by the [EEOC].” 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1); EEOC v. Victoria’s Secret Stores, Inc., No. 02-6715, 2003 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 1290, at *2 (E.D.Pa. Jan. 14, 2003) (Waldman, J.) (Plaintiffs have an unconditional right to intervene in Title VII claims brought on their behalf.).
*2 On October 13, 2005, Mr. Campbell filed suit against Conectiv and Bogan alleging that Conectiv and Bogan (collectively the “Defendants”) violated Title VII (Count I) and the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and 1991, 42 U.S.C. § 1981 (Count II). Mr. Campbell also asserted a claim against the Defendants for negligent supervision (Count III). The Court thereafter consolidated Mr. Campbell’s action with the other consolidated actions by order of November 18, 2005, ordering that the cases should be consolidated with the consolidation issue being revisited after the close of discovery to determine if consolidation was still in the best interest of the parties.
Thereafter, Bogan filed a Motion to Dismiss Count I of Mr. Campbell’s Complaint, asserting that Mr. Campbell’s claims that Bogan violated Title VII must be dismissed because Mr. Campbell failed to exhaust his administrative remedies. Mr. Campbell opposes Bogan’s Motion on the basis that his Title VII claims are saved by the “single-filing” rule. The parties filed supplemental briefing on the issue of the “single-filing” rule, and ably presented oral argument on the issues.
II. LEGAL STANDARDS

A. Motion to Dismiss Standard A Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss tests the sufficiency of a complaint. Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 45-46, 78 S.Ct. 99, 2 L.Ed.2d 80 (1957). Such a motion will be granted only when it is “certain that no relief could be granted under any set of facts which could be proved by the plaintiff.” Ransom v. Marrazzo, 848 F.2d 398, 401 (3d Cir.1988). In making such a determination, the Court must accept as true all allegations made in the complaint and all reasonable inferences that may be drawn from those allegations, and view those facts and inferences in the light most favorable to the non-moving party. Rocks v. Philadelphia, 868 F.2d 644, 645 (3d Cir.1989). To decide a motion to dismiss, courts can draw such facts and inferences from the complaint, exhibits attached to the complaint, matters of public record (including government agency records), as well as undisputably authentic documents that are attached as exhibits to the motion if the plaintiff’s claims are based on the documents. Pension Benefit Guar. Corp. v. White Consol. Indus., 998 F.2d 1192, 1196 (3d Cir.1993).
B. Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies Prior to instituting suit in federal court alleging violations of Title VII, a plaintiff must first exhaust his administrative remedies by filing a charge with the EEOC. Burgh v. Borough Council of Montrose, 251 F.3d 465, 470 (3d Cir.2001). The administrative charge must be filed with the EEOC within 180 days of the alleged discriminatory act, or within 300 days of such an act where the plaintiff files the charge of discrimination with the parallel state agency. Id. at 470. The EEOC then notifies the employer of the charge and conducts an investigation. Id. “The congressional policy behind this framework was to resolve discrimination claims administratively through cooperation and voluntary compliance in an informal, noncoercive manner.” Id. If the EEOC determines that it sees no reason to take action on a particular charge of discrimination, it must issue a “right-to-sue” letter, which indicates that a complainant has exhausted his administrative remedies. Id. A plaintiff may not bring a suit under Title VII without exhausting his administrative remedies and receiving a right-to-sue letter. Id. at 471.
*3 One exception to the exhaustion requirement, however, is the “single-filing rule.” Commcn’s Workers of Am. v. New Jersey Dep’t of Personnel, 282 F.3d 213, 217 (3d Cir.2002). Under the single-filing rule, “a plaintiff who has not filed an EEOC charge within the requisite time period can join a class action without satisfying [the filing requirement] if the original EEOC charge filed by the plaintiff who subsequently filed a class action had alleged class based discrimination in the EEOC charge.” Id. If there is no class action and “plaintiffs choose to bring suit individually, they must first satisfy the
2

E.E.O.C. v. Conectiv, Not Reported in F.Supp.2d (2006)
prerequisite of filing a timely charge with the EEOC.” Id. (citation omitted).
Moreover, the non-filing plaintiff must have been able to file a timely charge with the EEOC at the time the filing-plaintiff lodged its claim with the EEOC (i.e., the timely filing cannot act to revive stale claims). Velez v. QVC, Inc., 227 F.Supp.2d 384, 399 n. 9 (E.D.Pa.2002) (Robreno, J.). Although the non-filing plaintiff and filing-plaintiff’s complaints need not be identical, they must arise out of similar discriminatory treatment, in the same time frame, and give the employer adequate notice and opportunity for conciliation. Id. at 399.
In general, the filing of a charge including allegations broad enough to support a subsequent class action lawsuit does not alleviate the “burden of filing the class action itself, with the attendant requirement of class certification.” Whalen v. W.R. Grace & Co., 56 F.3d 504, 507 (3d Cir.1995). In the context of a class action brought by the EEOC, however, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 “is not applicable to an enforcement action brought by the EEOC in its own name and pursuant to its authority under Section 706 of Title VII.” Gen. Tel. Co. of the Nw., Inc. v. EEOC, 446 U.S. 318, 323, 100 S.Ct. 1698, 64 L.Ed.2d 319 (1980); EEOC v. United States Steel Corp., 921 F.2d 489, 495-496 (3d Cir.1990) (“[T]he Commission need not comply with Fed.R.Civ.P. 23 when it brings suit seeking class relief under Title VII....”).
III. DISCUSSION The parties here agree that Mr. Campbell did not exhaust his administrative remedies by timely filing a charge of discrimination with the EEOC or the PHRA. Thus, because filing a claim with the EEOC is a prerequisite to filing suit, Mr. Campbell cannot maintain an individual Title VII claim without his failure to exhaust his administrative remedies being somehow excused. Burgh, 251 F.3d at 471.
Mr. Campbell originally seemed to argue that the consolidation of his individual action with the EEOC action somehow “merged” the actions such that his individual Title VII claims were somehow combined with the class claims. However, the fact that the cases have been consolidated during discovery did not act to merge the cases or in any way excuse Mr. Campbell’s failure to exhaust his administrative remedies. That is, “consolidation is permitted as a matter of convenience and economy in administration, but does not merge the suits into a single cause, or change the rights of the parties, or make those who are parties in one suit parties in another.” Johnson v. Manhattan R. Co., 289 U.S. 479,

496-497, 53 S.Ct. 721, 77 L.Ed. 1331 (1933); Cella v. Togum Constructeur Ensemleier En Industrie Alimentaire, 173 F.3d 909, 912 (3d Cir.1999) (“Johnson remains the ‘authoritative’ statement on the law of consolidation. Thus, while a consolidation order may result in a single unit of litigation, such an order does not create a single case for jurisdiction purposes.”) (citations omitted).
*4 The final question is whether the operation of the single-filing rule remedies Mr. Campbell’s failure to exhaust his administrative remedies. The law in the Third Circuit is clear that it does not. Here, the state of the case is such that Mr. Campbell’s Title VII claims are raised in his individual action. Mr. Campbell has not intervened-as of right or with permission-into the EEOC class action lawsuit. Thus, the only Title VII claims that he is maintaining are strictly individual. Because Mr. Campbell’s claims are individual, he cannot rely on the single-filing rule and take advantage of the timely filing of another and his individual Title VII claim must be dismissed. Commcn’s Workers of Am., 282 F.3d at 217 (“[I]f plaintiffs choose to bring suit individually, they must first satisfy the prerequisite of filing a timely charge with the EEOC.”) (citation omitted).
III. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, Bogan’s Motion to Dismiss will be granted. Mr. Campbell’s failure to exhaust his administrative remedies is fatal to his individual Title VII action. Joyner v. School Dist. of Phila., 313 F.Supp.2d 495, 500 (E.D.Pa.2004) (dismissing Title VII claim for failure to exhaust administrative remedies by not filing charges with EEOC or PHRC). An appropriate Order consistent with this Memorandum follows.
ORDER
AND NOW, this 24th day of May, 2006, upon consideration of Defendant Bogan, Inc.’s Motion to Dismiss Count I of Plaintiff Jeffrey Campbell’s Complaint (Docket No. 44), the Response thereto (Docket No. 45), and the supplemental memoranda of law (Docket Nos. 48, 51, 55), and following oral argument, it is hereby ORDERED that Defendant Bogan, Inc.’s Motion is GRANTED and Count I of Plaintiff Campbell’s Complaint against Bogan, Inc. is DISMISSED.
