| J.C. Penney Ordered to Pay 50K for Race Discrimination |

Apparently the EEOC (the government agency responsible for enforcing federal anti-discrimination laws in the workplace) is busy at work. The agency's racial discrimination claim against J.C. Penney Corporation recently settled for $50,000. J.C. Penney was charged with discriminating against Reinell Singh, an African American who worked as a greeter at J.C. Penney's Staten Island location in New York. The lawsuit stated that Singh's supervisor referred to her several times using racially offensive names and later fired her for racial reasons. In addition to the $50,000 in compensatory damages to be paid to Singh, a three-year consent decree requires the adoption of a non-discrimination policy and complaint procedures, enjoins J.C. Penney from race discrimination or retaliation, requires posting of a notice about the EEOC and the lawsuit, mandates anti-discrimination training, requires distribution of a memorandum setting forth the requirements of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to all store employees, and mandates monitoring and reporting. "In spite of advances since Title VII of the Civil Rights Act was enacted 44 years ago, race discrimination still remains one of the most pervasive problems in today's workplace," Spencer H. Lewis, director of the EEOC's New York District Office said. "Racial slurs must simply not be tolerated, and the EEOC will fight to eradicate any such discrimination from the workplace."
