Representing University Research Center in EEOC/OFCCP Prosecution of Class Claims Alleging Retaliation

Share This Page:

Miles & Stockbridge successfully settled joint EEOC/OFCCP prosecution of class claims alleging retaliation. OFCCP began in 2011 with a five-member class. In 2013, the EEOC joined and tried to further expand the class and engaged in systemic discovery. We fought back and resisted attempts to expand the class or re-open closed charges. We ultimately settled for far less than demanded, and for only two class members. We are not aware of any other situation in the country where OFCCP and EEOC have gone after the same target, and in fact, it was in violation of a Memorandum of Understanding between the two agencies to so do.
