Gonzalez v. Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, Inc.
The lawsuit Eduardo Gonzalez, et al. v. Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, Inc., et al. (No. C03-2817), filed in June 2003, alleged that the nationwide retailer Abercrombie & Fitch "violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by maintaining recruiting and hiring practice that excluded minorities and women and adopting a restrictive marketing image, and other policies, which limited minority and female employment."〔("EEOC Agrees to Landmark Resolution of Discrimination Case Against Abercrombie & Fitch," ) Press Release from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Nov. 18, 2004.〕〔("The Look of Abercrombie & Fitch: Retail Store Accused Of Hiring Attractive, Mostly White Salespeople," ) CBS ''60 Minutes'' segment on ''Gonzalez'' case, Dec. 5, 2003.〕 The female and Latino, African-American, and Asian American plaintiffs charged that they were either not hired despite strong qualifications or if hired "they were steered not to sales positions out front, but to low-visibility, back-of-the-store jobs, stocking and cleaning up."〔("Abercrombie & Fitch Bias Case Is Settled," ) ''The New York Times'', November 17, 2004.〕 The case generated national press coverage, including a profile on the television program ''60 Minutes''.〔
==The Settlement Agreement | Consent Decree==
In April 2005, the U.S. District Court approved a settlement, valued at approximately $50 million, which requires the retail clothing giant Abercrombie & Fitch to provide monetary benefits to the class of Latino, African American, Asian American and female applicants and employees who charged the company with discrimination.〔〔("Abercrombie settles 3 bias suits: Retailer to pay $40 million; judge has to rule on plan," ) ''San Francisco Chronicle'', November 17, 2004.〕
The settlement, rendered as a Consent Decree, also requires the company to institute a range of policies and programs to promote diversity among its workforce and to prevent discrimination based on race or gender.〔〔 Implementation of the Consent Decree continued into 2011. Abercrombie did not admit liability.〔
"The young men and women who applied to work at Abercrombie should have been judged on their qualifications, and not their skin color or gender. The class action settlement compensates class members for being subjected to the challenged practices and ensures that Abercrombie will improve its employment practices and diversity efforts nationwide," commented Kelly M. Dermody of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, which represented the plaintiffs along with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, the Asian Pacific American Legal Center and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc.〔(Abercrombie & Fitch Class Action Settlement Website )〕
