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 sex, and to provide appropriate relief to Patricia Walters, Carolyn Mancinelli, and other similarly situated female employees who were adversely affected by such practices. Specifically, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission contends that Patricia Walters and Carolyn Mancinelli, and other similarly situated female employees, were sexually harassed while working for defendant, Masonry Reinforcing Corporation of America.
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) ("Title VII") and Section 102 of the Civil Rights Act of 1991,42 U.S.c. § 1981a.

2. The employment practices alleged to be unlawful were committed within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina.
PARTIES 3. Plaintiff, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the "Commission"), is the agency of the United States of America charged with the administration, interpretation and enforcement of Title VII, and is expressly authorized to bring this action by Section 706(f)(l) and (3) of Title VII, 42 U.S.c. § 2000e-5(f)(I) and (3). 4. At all relevant times, Defendant, Masonry Reinforcing Corporation of America ("Defendant"), has continuously been a North Carolina corporation doing business in the State of North Carolina and the City of Charlotte, and has continuously had at least fifteen (15) employees. 5. At all relevant times, Defendant 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).
STATEMENT OF CLAIMS 6. More than thirty days prior to the institution of this lawsuit, Patricia Walters and Carolyn Mancinelli filed charges with the Commission alleging violations of Title VII by Defendant. All conditions precedent to the institution of this lawsuit have been fulfilled. 7. Since at least August 1997, Defendant has engaged in unlawful employment practices at its Charlotte, North Carolina facility, in violation of Section 703(a)(I) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a)(l). The unlawful practices include subjecting Patricia Walters, Carolyn Mancinelli, and other similarly situated female employees to a hostile work environment based
2

on their sex. The harassment included unwelcome touching, sexual advances and comments, and derogatory gender-based comments by male co-workers and managers. Although Defendant received complaints about the harassment, and otherwise knew or reasonably should have known about the harassment, Defendant failed to take prompt and effective remedial action to stop it.
8. The effect of the practices complained of in paragraph 7 above has been to deprive Patricia Walters, Carolyn Mancinelli, and other similarly situated female employees of equal employment opportunities and otherwise adversely affect their status as employees, because of their sex.
9. The unlawful employment practices complained of in paragraph 7 above were intentional.
10. The unlawful employment practices complained of in paragraph 7 above were done with malice or with reckless indifference to the federally protected rights of Patricia Walters, Carolyn Mancinelli, and other similarly situated female employees.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF Wherefore, the Commission respectfully requests that this Court: A. Grant a permanent injunction enjoining Defendant, its officers, successors, assigns, and all persons in active concert or participation with it, from engaging in harassment based on sex, female, and any other employment practice which discriminates on the basis of sex. B. Order Defendant to institute and carry out policies, practices, and programs which provide equal employment opportunities for women, and which eradicate the effects of its past and present unlawful employment practices.
3

C. Order Defendant to make whole Patricia Walters, Carolyn Mancinelli, and other similarly situated female employees by providing compensation for past and future pecuniary losses resulting from the unlawful employment practices described in paragraph 7 above, including, but not limited to medical expenses, in amounts to be determined at trial.
D. Order Defendant to make whole Patricia Walters, Carolyn Mancinelli, and other similarly situated female employees by providing compensation for past and future nonpecuniary losses resulting from the unlawful practices complained of in paragraph 7 above, including but not limited to emotional pain, suffering, inconvenience, loss of enjoyment of life, and humiliation, in amounts to be determined at trial.
E. Order Defendant to pay Patricia Walters, Carolyn Mancinelli, and other similarly situated female employees punitive damages for its malicious and reckless conduct described in paragraph 7 above, in amounts to be determined at trial.
F. Grant such further relief as the Court deems necessary and proper in the public interest.
G. Award the Commission its costs of this action. JURY TRIAL DEMAND
The Commission requests a jury trial on all questions of fact raised by its complaint.
