The Los Angeles district office of the EEOC brought this suit against Straub Hospital and Hawaii Pacific Health in September 2006, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii. The complaint alleged that Straub Hospital and Hawaii Pacific Health discriminated in hiring security guards based on sex and age in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. Specifically, the defendants allegedly failed to hire nine women because of their sex and age. One of the women brought suit as an intervenor plaintiff. After numerous settlement conferences, the parties entered into a consent decree.The decree included non-discrimination and non-retaliation clauses, required development of a written Title VII policy, required following recruiting and hiring protocol, complying with advertising requirements for hiring, and required the utilization of an objective job description and hiring criteria. Straub Hospital and Hawaii Pacific Health were also required to post notice of rights, distribute notice of rights, retain records of all job applicants and provide EEO training. In addition, Straub Hospital and Hawaii Pacific Health agreed to pay $450,000 in damages, $20,000 of which was designated to a fund to be distributed to individuals not previously identified in conciliation. The decree was to last for 27 months. The docket sheet doesn't show any further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2010.
