Description
This Title VII litigation had its genesis when charging parties Carol Ross and Melissa Hanna applied to the Monarch Machine Tool Company (Monarch) in Sidney, Ohio, for jobs as general laborers and were rejected. Both women filed a charge of sex discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on the same day. The EEOC brought suit against Monarch and Local 996, International Association of Machinists, alleging that, from July 2, 1965 to the time of the suit, the company had intentionally engaged in unlawful employment practices, in violation of section 703(a) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, by refusing to hire women for factory work until July, 1974, and thereafter failing to hire women at the same rate as men. In its prayer for relief, the Commission sought a permanent injunction against the discriminatory employment practices, and sought to institute a program to provide equal employment opportunities for women "having the effect of eradicating the defendants past and present unlawful practices." The Commission also requested the court "to order the company to make whole those persons adversely affected by the unlawful employment practices described herein, by providing appropriate backpay, with interest, in an amount to be proved at trial" and to afford "other affirmative relief necessary to eradicate the effects of its unlawful employment practices."
