CONSENT DECREE The parties to this Consent Decree are plaintiff Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (hereafter “EEOC”), and defendants LIN Television Corporation (d/b/a WTNH) (hereafter “LIN Television”) and Local 14, National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians-Communications Workers of America (hereafter “Local 14”). The EEOC brought this action on September 28, 2004, pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, (“Title VII”), and Title I of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 (the “Civil Rights Act”). The EEOC alleged that LIN Television and Local 14 had discriminated against Marlina Lewis, an African-American woman, by denying her a promotion to a director’s position on the basis of her race and sex, and that LIN Television had denied her other promotions and retaliated against her, resulting in her constructive discharge. The Defendants denied any discrimination or retaliation and assert that Marlina Lewis quit her job after securing

1

comparable or more favorable employment in the industry for comparable or more favorable pay.
The EEOC, LIN Television, and Local 14 (hereafter “the parties”) desire to compromise and settle the differences embodied in the aforementioned lawsuit, and therefore do hereby stipulate and consent to the entry of this Decree as final and binding between the EEOC and LIN Television and its successors or assigns, and Local 14 and its successors or assigns. This Decree resolves all matters related to Civil Action No. 3:04-1627 (WWE), filed in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. The parties have agreed that this Decree may be entered into without Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law having been made and entered by the Court. The parties agree that it is in their mutual interest to resolve fully this matter without the costs, uncertainty, expense, and delay of litigation. The parties agree that this Consent Decree constitutes the complete agreement between the parties. No waiver, modification, or amendment of any provision of this Consent Decree shall be effective unless made in writing, approved by all parties to this Consent Decree, and approved or ordered by the Court.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements set forth herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows, the Court finds appropriate, and therefore, it is ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that:
1. This Consent Decree resolves all issues concerning alleged discrimination and retaliation by LIN Television and Local 14 through the date of this Consent Decree which were raised in the Complaint filed by the EEOC in this case. This Consent Decree also resolves all issues that were raised in the charges, as amended, filed by Marlina Lewis with the EEOC against LIN Television and Local 14 (Charge ## 161A300127 and 161A300126). Accordingly, Marlina Lewis will execute the release attached as Exhibit A.

Eric S. Dreiband, General Counsel, James L. Lee, Deputy General Counsel, Gwendolyn Y. Reams, Associate General Counsel, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Washington, D.C., Elizabeth Grossman, Acting Regional Attorney, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, New York, NY, Markus L. Penzel ct03381, Senior Trial Attorney, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Boston, MA
NATURE OF THE ACTION
This is an action 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 of race, sex, and protected activities by LIN Television Corporation (d/b/a WTNH) (hereafter referred to as “Defendant WTNH”) and Local 14, National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians-Communications Workers of America (hereafter referred to as “Defendant Local 14”), and to make whole Marlina Lewis, an African-American woman, who was affected by Defendants’ discriminatory practices. As alleged in greater detail below, Defendant WTNH discriminated against Ms. Lewis by (1) selecting a less qualified white male candidate for the position of Newscast Director; (2) selecting less qualified white and/or male candidates for additional positions for which Ms. Lewis was qualified; and (3) constructively discharging Ms. Lewis, on the basis of her race, African-American and sex, female, and in retaliation for her protected activities of alleging race and sex discrimination and filing a charge of discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Ms. Lewis also alleges that Defendant Local 14 discriminated against her on the basis of race and sex by failing to refer her for the position of Newscast Director and causing Defendant WTNH to discriminate against her in selecting a less qualified white male candidate for the position of Newscast Director.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE
1. Jurisdiction of this Court is invoked pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 451, 1331, 1337, 1343 and 1345. This action is authorized and instituted pursuant to Section 706(f)(1) and (3) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1) and (3).
2. The unlawful employment practices alleged below were committed within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut.
PARTIES
3. Plaintiff, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “Commission”), is an agency of the United States of America 1

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION,..., 2004 WL 2402782...
charged with the administration, interpretation, and enforcement of Title VII, and is expressly authorized to bring this action by Section 706(f)(1) and (3) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1) and (3).
4. At all relevant times, Defendant LIN Television Corporation has been a Delaware corporation doing business in the State of Connecticut through WTNH, a television station which it owns and operates in New Haven, Connecticut, and has continuously had at least 20 employees.
5. At all relevant times, Defendant Local 14 has continuously been a labor union representing employees employed by Defendant WTNH in the State of Connecticut, and has continuously had at least 20 members.
6. At all relevant times, Defendant WTNH has continuously been an employer engaged in an industry affecting commerce within the meaning of Sections 701(b), (g) and (h) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e(b), (g) and (h).
7. At all relevant times, Defendant Local 14 has continuously been a labor organization engaged in an industry affecting commerce within the meaning of Sections 701(d), (e), (g) and (h) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e(d), (e), (g) and (h).
STATEMENT OF CLAIMS
8. More than thirty days prior to the institution of this lawsuit, Charging Party filed charges with the Commission alleging violations of Title VII by Defendants. All conditions precedent to the institution of this lawsuit have been fulfilled.
9. Defendant WTNH hired Ms. Lewis, an African-American female, on or about September 10, 1998, as a Floor Manager. After initially being denied a promotion to Technical Director, Ms. Lewis moved to that position the second time the position became available. At the time of her resignation on May 25, 2004, she was a Parker Vision Assistant.
10. Defendant Local 14 represented several classifications of employees under a collective bargaining agreement with Defendant WTNH, including the employees in the positions Ms. Lewis held during her employment with Defendant WTNH.
11. Ms. Lewis received positive performance evaluations from her supervisors throughout her service with Defendant WTNH.
12. Beginning in August, 2002, Defendant WTNH engaged in a reorganization. As a result, the position Ms. Lewis held at the time, Technical Director, was eliminated. Defendants WTNH and Local 14 negotiated an agreement that ensured that all of the employees whose positions were eliminated in the reorganization would be assigned to different positions at the station.
13. Defendant Local 14 presented Defendant WTNH with a list of employees it recommended for placement in the vacant positions. The list included the recommendation of the most junior employee, a white male who had just recently graduated from college and had been working for WTNH for less than a year as a camera operator, for one of two Newscast Director positions.
14. Before either Newscast Director vacancy was filled, Ms. Lewis expressed her interest in a position as Newscast Director to both Defendant Local 14’s president, Joseph D’Addese, and WTNH Production Manager Jerry Min.
15. D’Addese refused to refer Ms. Lewis for promotion to Newscast Director because of her race and sex.
16. Defendant WTNH accepted Defendant Local 14’s recommendation that the junior and less experienced white male receive a Newscast Director position. Defendant WTNH also accepted Defendant Local 14’s recommendation that Ms. Lewis receive a position as a Parker Vision Assistant, which involved less responsibility and fewer opportunities for advancement than both the Technical Director position Ms. Lewis had previously held and the vacant Newscast Director positions.
17. After Ms. Lewis learned that the inexperienced white male had been selected to fill one of the Newscast Director positions, Ms. Lewis expressed her interest in the other vacant Newscast Director and informed Defendant WTNH that she believed she was being discriminated against because of her race and sex.
18. Ms. Lewis discussed the second Newscast Director position with Defendant Local 14, which informed her that if she
2

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION,..., 2004 WL 2402782...
applied for that position, she would not receive it, as WTNH was seeking an outside candidate with significant newscast directing experience in order to compensate for the inexperienced white male’s lack of newscast directing experience.
19. Defendant WTNH hired a white male external applicant to fill the second vacant Newscast Director position.
20. In December, 2002, Ms. Lewis filed charges with the Commission against Defendants WTNH and Local 14, alleging that she was denied a promotion to Newscast Director because of her race and sex.
21. Between the time she filed her charge with the Commission and May 25, 2004, Ms. Lewis pursued additional opportunities for advancement within Defendant WTNH’s employ, but Defendant WTNH did not promote Ms. Lewis because of her race and sex and in retaliation for her protected activity of alleging discrimination and filing a charge with the Commission.
22. All but one of the applicants selected by Defendant WTNH to fill positions Ms. Lewis sought were white and/or male, and the only African-American applicant selected for a position Ms. Lewis sought was male.
23. Ms. Lewis was qualified for each of the positions she sought within WTNH.
24. Ms. Lewis resigned from her position as Parker Vision Assistant on May 25, 2004, because she could no longer tolerate Defendant WTNH’s hostile treatment of her and other minorities and pattern of discrimination against her.
25. The effect of the practices complained of above has been to deprive Marlina Lewis of equal employment opportunities and otherwise adversely affect her status as an employee because of her race and sex and in retaliation for engaging in protected activity under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.
26. The unlawful employment practices complained of above were intentional.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF Wherefore, the Commission respectfully requests that this Court:
A. Grant a permanent injunction enjoining Defendants, their officers, successors, assigns and all persons in active concert or participation with them, from engaging in any employment practices which discriminate on the basis of race and sex or against individual; engaging in protected activity under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended;
B. Order Defendants to institute and carry out policies, practices and programs which provide equal employment opportunities for individuals who are African-American, female or engaging in protected activity, and which eradicate the effects of their past and present unlawful employment practices;
C. Grant a judgment requiring Defendants to make whole Marlina Lewis by providing appropriate back pay with prejudgment interest, in amounts to be determined at trial, front-pay, and other affirmative relief necessary to eradicate the effects of Defendants’ unlawful employment practices;
D. Order Defendants to pay Marlina Lewis compensatory damages arising from Defendants’ unlawful employment practices;
E. Grant such further relief as the Court deems necessary and proper;
F. Award the Commission its costs in this action.
JURY TRIAL DEMAND The Commission requests a jury trial on all questions of fact raised by its complaint. Respectfully submitted,
