2

6 age-based harassment by supervisors and coworkers alike. The harassment altered the terms

7 and conditions of Ms. Sylvia's employment with Defendant Riviera Operating Corporation,

8 d/b/a the Riviera Hotel and Casino ("Defendant Employer").

9

PARTIES

10

4. Plaintiff, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the "Commission"),

II is the agency of the United States of America charged with the administration, interpretation and

12 enforcement of Title VII and the ADEA, and is expressly authorized to bring this action by

13 Section 706(t)(I) and (3) ofTitle VII, 42 U.S.c. § 2000e-5(t)(I) and (3) and by Section 7(b) of

14 the ADEA, 29 U.s.c. § 626(b), as amended by Section 2 of Reorganization Plan No.1 of 1978,

15 92 Stat. 3781, and by Public Law 98-532 (1984), 98 Stat. 2705.

16

5. Plaintiff alleges that, at all relevant times, Defendant Employer has

17 continuously been a Nevada corporation doing business in the State of Nevada and the City of

18 Las Vegas, and has continuously had at least 20 employees.

19

6. At all relevant times, Defendant Employer has continuously been an employer

20 engaged in an industry affecting commerce within the meaning of Sections 70 I(b), (g) and (h) of

21 Title VII, 42 U.S.c. §§ 2000e(b), (g) and (h) and within the meaning of Sections II(b), (g) and

STATEMENT OF CLAIMS

24

Allegations Pertaining to Title VII Claims

Case 2:02-cv-01238-HDM-PAL Document 1 Filed 09/20/2002 Page 3 of 6

1

8. Since at least on or about July 21,1994, and continuing through on or about

2 September 27, 1999, Defendant Employer engaged in unlawful employment practices at its Las

3 Vegas, Nevada, casino in violation of Section 703 of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2 by creating

4 and maintaining a sexually hostile, intimidating, and offensive work environment, which

5 impacted the terms and conditions of employment of its employee Jean Sylvia due to her

6 gender. Throughout her employment, Ms. Sylvia was subjected to unwanted and repeated

7 sexually explicit, lewd, and sexually derogatory commentary, jokes and name-calling, as well as

8 sexually explicit images and behavior by both her coworkers and supervisors. Plaintiff

9 Commission further alleges that Ms. Sylvia complained of the harassment to Defendant

10 Employer's management, including her supervisors, on several occasions, but that her

11 complaints were rebuffed or ignored, and the harassment continued. Defendant Employer failed

12 to take immediate and appropriate corrective action to eliminate the harassment.

13

9. With respect to the harassment perpetrated by Ms. Sylvia's nonsupervisory

14 coworkers, Plaintiff Commission further alleges that Defendant Employer knew or should have

15 known of the harassment and failed to take immediate and appropriate corrective action to

16 eliminate the harassment.

17

10. The effect of the practices complained of in paragraphs 8-9 above has been to

18 deprive Jean Sylvia of equal employment opportunities and otherwise adversely affect her

19 status as an employee, because of her sex (female).

20

II. The unlawful employment practices complained of in paragraphs 8-9 above were

21 intentional.

22

12. The unlawful employment practices complained of in paragraphs 8-9 above were

23 done with malice or with reckless indifference to the federally protected rights of Jean Sylvia.

24

Allegations Pertaining to ADEA Claims

25

13. Prior to institution of this lawsuit, the Commission's representatives attempted to

26 eliminate the unlawful employment practices alleged below and to effect voluntary compliance

27 with the ADEA through informal methods of conciliation, conference and persuasion within the
,
-J-

Case 2:02-cv-01238-HDM-PAL Document 1 Filed 09/20/2002 Page 4 of 6

I meaning of Section 7(b) of the ADEA, 29 U.S.C. § 626(b). All conditions precedent to the

2 institution of this lawsuit have been fulfilled.

3

14. Since at least on or about July 21, 1994, and continuing through on or about

4 September 27, 1999, Defendant Employer has engaged in unlawful employment practices at its

5 Las Vegas, Nevada, casino, in violation of Section 4 of the ADEA, 29 U.S.C. § 623, by creating

6 and maintaining a hostile, intimidating, and offensive work environment, which impacted the

7 terms and conditions of employment of its employee Jean Sylvia because of her age. Ms. Sylvia

8 was subjected to unwanted and repeated derogatory commentary and name-calling based on her

9 age by both her coworkers and supervisors, which often took place in front of other employees

10 and/or customers. Defendant Employer ignored and failed to remedy the situation, despite

11 repeated complaints by Ms. Sylvia. Plaintiff Commission further alleges that Ms. Sylvia

12 complained of the harassment to Defendant Employer's management, including supervisors, on

13 several occasions, but that her complaints were rebuffed and ignored, and the harassment

14 continued. Defendant Employer failed to take immediate and appropriate corrective action to

15 eliminate the harassment.

16

15. With respect to the harassment perpetrated by Ms. Sylvia'S nonsupervisory

17 coworkers, Plaintiff Commission further alleges that Defendant Employer knew or should have

18 known of the harassment and failed to take immediate and appropriate corrective action to

19 eliminate the harassment.

20

16. The effect of the practices complained of in paragraphs 14-15 above has been to

21 deprive Ms. Sylvia of equal employment opportunities and otherwise adversely affect her status

22 as an employee, because of her age (over 40).

23

17. The unlawful employment practices complained of in paragraphs 14-15 above

24 were willful within the meaning of Section 7(b) of the ADEA, 29 U.S.C. § 626(b).

25

[CONTENT] The Los Angeles District Office | EEOC | the Riviera Operating Corporation | the Riviera Hotel and Casino | Las Vegas | September of 2002 | the U.S. District Court | Nevada ||| Title VII | the Age Discrimination ||| six ||| the day | 150,0001 |||  [SUMMARY] The Los Angeles District Office of the EEOC brought this suit against the Riviera Operating Corporation, which owns and operates the Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, in September of 2002, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada.  The suit alleged that the company knew of harassment towards the complainant based on her sex and age, and in violation of Title VII and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.  The trial was rescheduled six times and eventually the parties reached a settlement.  The only document pertaining to the settlement is the record of the minutes from a court hearing the day before the settlement was entered, which says that the judgment was for the plaintiff in the amount of $150,0001.  This appears to be the only relief obtained in the case.
