Plaintiff, v. Albertson’s, Inc.
Defendant. ______________________________________________________________________________
COMPLAINT and JURY TRIAL DEMAND ______________________________________________________________________________
NATURE OF THE ACTION This is a public enforcement action to correct the unlawful employment practices of maintaining a hostile work environment based on race, color, and/or national origin in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e, et. seq. (“Title VII”) and subjecting individuals to disparate terms and conditions based on race, color and/or national origin. This action seeks to provide appropriate relief to a class of individuals adversely affected by such practices. Plaintiff, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), contends Defendant, Albertson’s, Inc. (“Albertson’s”), has discriminated against a class of employees at the Distribution Center in Aurora, Colorado because of their race, color, and/or national origin. EEOC alleges that Albertson’s subjected this class of employees to a hostile work environment and unequal terms and conditions of employment in violation of Title VII. EEOC also alleges that Albertson’s failed to take prompt and effective remedial action

intended to eliminate the hostile work environment. JURISDICTION AND VENUE

2. The employment practices alleged to be unlawful were committed within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court, District of Colorado.
PARTIES 3. Plaintiff EEOC is the agency of the United States of America charged with the administration, interpretation and enforcement of Title VII, and is expressly authorized to bring this action by Sections 706(f)(1) and 706(f)(3) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e-5(f)(1) and (3). 4. At all relevant times, Defendant has continuously been and is now doing business in the State of Colorado and has continuously had at least fifteen (15) employees. 5. At all relevant times, Defendant has continuously been an employer engaged in an industry affecting commerce within the meaning of Sections 701(b), (g) and (h) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e-(b), (g) and (h).
STATEMENT OF CLAIMS 6. More than thirty (30) days prior to the institution of this lawsuit, Matthew Ricks (“Ricks”), an employee of Defendant, filed two charges of discrimination with the EEOC on behalf of himself and other similarly situated employees alleging violations of Title VII by Defendant. All conditions precedent to the institution of this lawsuit have been fulfilled.
2

First Claim: Hostile Work Environment/Harassment 7. Plaintiff realleges the foregoing paragraphs 1-6 of this Complaint. 8. Since at least 1995, Defendant has engaged in unlawful employment practices at its Distribution Center in Aurora, Colorado, in violation of section 703(a) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. §2000e-2(a), by allowing its Distribution Center employees to be subjected to repeated and continuing racial and national origin based harassment, comments, and graffiti including, but not limited to:
(a) swastikas and racial slurs on the bathroom fixtures and walls, and on the warehouse racks, including the use of the racial slurs “n-word” and “spic,” including references to “bastard babies” and including drawings of Black and Hispanic individuals with ropes around their necks.
(b) writing on equipment with the term “lazy n-word” and other racial and national origin based slurs.
(c) statements to Mr. Ricks and other Black employees, calling them “nwords” or “lazy n-words.”
(d) writing of racial and national origin based slurs on the wall of the candy room with such phrases as “the only good spic is a dead spic.”
9. In or about April of 2002, supervisor Jim Hayes (“Hayes”) approached Mr. Ricks during break time, grabbed Mr. Ricks’ papers, ordered him off the phone, was physically aggressive and stalked behind Mr. Ricks as he walked away, stating to Mr. Ricks, “There you go, acting like a n-word.”
10. The offensive conduct was sufficiently severe or pervasive as to alter the terms and conditions of employees subjected to the conduct.
3

11. The offensive conduct in the workplace initiated and/or participated in by employees, including but not limited to managers, constitutes harassment.
12. The harassment in the work place created a hostile work environment based on race, color, and/or national origin.
13. Defendant was aware of the harassment and that some managers participated in the harassment.
14. Defendant failed to take reasonable measures to prevent and promptly correct harassment in the workplace. Defendant violated its own harassment policy by its inaction. For example:
(a) swastikas and other derogatory racial and ethnic writings on walls and equipment remained continuously in place for periods of months or even years, even when management was explicitly advised of the graffiti;
(b) in May 2001, Jim Hartley (“Hartley”), Operations Manager, responded to a complaint regarding the graffiti and other harassment by telling the employee that he was “paranoid” and “comical” and took no further action;
(c) based upon information and belief, Defendant CEO Gary Scarff failed to respond to a letter from a black employee which included many examples of race discrimination; and
(d) Human Resources failed to respond when a black employee reported threats of physical violence from a white management official. 15. Defendant tolerated the hostile work environment on a continuing basis since at least 1995. 16. The effect of the events described above, including the harassment by managers
4

and Defendant’s failure to promptly and adequately respond to employee complaints of harassment pursuant to its harassment policies and procedures, has been to deprive individuals of equal employment opportunities based on their race, color, and/or national origin.
17. The unlawful employment practices described above were intentional. 18. The unlawful employment practices described above were done with malice or with reckless indifference to the federally protected rights of employees based on their race, color, and/or national origin. 19. The effect of the events described above has been to deprive individuals of equal employment opportunities based on their race, color, and/or national origin.
Second Claim: Terms and Conditions 20. Plaintiff realleges the foregoing paragraphs 1-6 of this Complaint. 21. Employees were subject to disparate terms and conditions of employment based on their race, color, and/or national origin, including, but not limited to:
(a) disciplinary actions, including written warnings, suspensions, and terminations; and
(b) selective assignment to less desirable jobs or denial of job assignments to “preferred duties.” 22. The unlawful employment practices described above were intentional. 23. The unlawful employment practices described above were done with malice or with reckless indifference to the federally protected rights of employees based on their race, color, and/or national origin. 24. The effect of the events described above has been to deprive individuals of equal employment opportunities based on their race, color, and/or national origin.

 </s> IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Judge Wiley Y. Daniel
Civil Action No. 06-CV-01273-WYD-BNB EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION,
Plaintiff, v. ALBERTSON’S, INC. and ALBERTSON’S LLC,
Defendants. _____________________________________________________________________
ORDER _____________________________________________________________________
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff EEOC’s Objections to Magistrate Judge Boland’s Order Regarding Plaintiff’s Emergency Motion for a Protective Order Prohibiting Ex Parte Communications With Class Members filed on August 21, 2006. More specifically, Plaintiff filed Objections on October 19, 2006, which were responded to by Defendant on November 1, 2006.
EEOC filed timely Objections to Magistrate Judge Boland’s Order. Thus, I must review the Order to determine whether it is "clearly erroneous or contrary to law" since the nature of the matter is nondispositive. FED. R. CIV. P. 72(a). “An order is clearly erroneous when the reviewing court on the entire evidence is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been made.” Cook v. Rockwell Int’l Corp., 147 F.R.D. 237, 242 (D. Colo. 1993).
The Court agrees with Magistrate Boland’s conclusion that until individuals characterized by the EEOC as “potential class members”establish an attorney-client

relationship with the EEOC, or until it is established that Defendant Albertson’s lawyers have engaged in some misconduct, Defendant is permitted to engage in ex parte communications with these individuals. COLO. R. PROF. CONDUCT 4.2 states that “a lawyer shall not communicate about the subject of the representation with a party the lawyer knows to be represented by another lawyer in the matter.” Generally, an attorney-client relationship exists “when it is shown that the client seeks and receives the advice of the lawyer on the legal consequences of the client’s past or contemplated actions.” People v. Bennet, 810 P.2d 661, 664 (Colo. 1991)(quoting People v. Morley, 725 P.2d 510, 517 (Colo. 1986). In addition, an attorney-client relationship also exists upon the certification of a class pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P. 23. See e.g. Kleiner v. First Nat. Bank of Atlanta, 751 F.2d 1193, 1207 n.28 (11th Cir. 1985)(“At a minimum, class counsel represents all class members as soon as a class is certified; if not sooner”).
Actions brought by the EEOC pursuant to its authority under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, however, “are not representative actions subject to Rule 23.” General Telephone Company of the Northwest, Inc. v. EEOC, 446 U.S. 318, 326 (1980). Plaintiff cites to no authority which holds that an attorney-client relationship exists in a Title VII action prior to the moment the individual seeks and receives the legal advice of the EEOC. Accordingly, Magistrate Boland’s conclusion that an attorney-client relationship does not exist between all individuals identified as potential class members and the EEOC is not clearly erroneous or contrary to law.
I further agree that there is no evidence in the record which would require this Court to exercise its supervisory powers to limit communications between Albertson’s and
-2-

potential class members. Magistrate Boland set this matter for a hearing and was prepared to accept evidence, but no party offered any evidence at that time. (Order 14). Because the EEOC has not produced any evidence of misconduct on the part of Albertson’s lawyers, I will not restrict their communications with potential class members at this time.
Based upon the foregoing, it is ORDERED that Magistrate Judge’s October 4, 2006, Order Regarding Plaintiff’s Emergency Motion for a Protective Order Prohibiting Ex Parte Communications With Class Members filed on August 21, 2006 is AFFIRMED. Dated: November 14, 2006

1

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 116-2 Filed 05/15/2007 Page 2 of 7
3. The employment practices alleged to be unlawful were committed within the boundaries of the United States District Court for the District of Colorado and venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391.
PARTIES 4. Baxter is a 54 year old black man. 5. At all relevant times, Defendant Albertson’s LLC f/k/a Albertson’s Inc. (“Defendant” or “Albertson’s”) has continuously conducted business in the State of Colorado and has continuously employed at least twenty (20) people. 6. At all relevant times, Defendant has continuously been a employer engaged in an industry affecting commerce within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e-(b), (g) and (h) and 29 U.S.C. . §§ 630(g) and (h).
GENERAL ALLEGATIONS 7. Plaintiff incorporates his prior allegations herein 8. Baxter is a member of a class of individuals who were subjected to disparate terms and conditions of employment because of race and age. 9. Since September 1, 1989, Baxter has been employed by Defendant at Albertson’s Distribution Center Warehouse #8281 in Aurora, Colorado as a warehouse order selector. 10. During the course of his employment, he has been subjected to harassment including racial insults and workplace graffiti based on his race and age which have been sufficiently pervasive or severe enough to alter the terms and conditions of his employment. 11. Albertson’s knew or should have known about the harassment.
2

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 116-2 Filed 05/15/2007 Page 3 of 7
12. Swastikas have been drawn on the bathroom walls and fixtures. The words “Kunta” and “lazy n-word” have been written on warehouse equipment. (“Kunta” is the name of the black protagonist in the movie “Roots”.)
13. During the course of his employment, Baxter has regularly complained to supervisors about instances of bigotry and racial insults.
14. During the course of his employment, Baxter has been subjected to unwarranted discipline and given less favorable work assignments because of his race and age and because he has complained about discrimination based on race and age.
15. During the course of his employment, Baxter, because of his race and age, and because he has complained about discrimination based on race and age, has been denied opportunities to transfer to more favorable positions such as Aisle Forklift Operator and has been denied sufficient opportunities to train for such positions.
16. It is Albertson’s stated policy that employees perform their work safely. However, on December 21, 2000, Baxter was written up for allegedly wasting company time by checking his equipment to determine why its handle would not spring back up. The condition of the handle was a matter of safety.
17. On July 3, 2003, Baxter was the only order selector working in the candy, bakery and E divisions of the warehouse. A manager, Steven Dade, told him he was working too slowly and holding up loads. Baxter was replaced by another worker and sent to work in the A and B divisions. Selecting from the A and B divisions is much more physically demanding than selecting from the other divisions in the warehouse. Individuals who were loading told Baxter
3

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 116-2 Filed 05/15/2007 Page 4 of 7
that he had not slowed them down. 18. Baxter believes that, because of his race and age and, because he has complained
about racial discrimination, he has been given job assignments as a selector which make it harder for him to meet production standards.
19. On September 21, 2006, Baxter filed a complaint with the EEOC complaining that he had been discriminated against on the basis of his age and race and in retaliation for his complaints about discrimination.
20. On April 23, 2007, Baxter’s wife became ill. Their 15 year old daughter called Albertson’s three times trying to talk with her father about her mother’s condition. Each time, she told the person who answered the phone that it was an emergency. Each time she was only given voice mail and was not allowed to speak to Baxter. When Baxter returned home, he found his wife unconscious. She was taken to the hospital where she remained until April 26, 2007.
21. On April 25, 2007, Baxter went to work at 6:00 a.m. He advised the manager, Jim Zanstra (“Zanstra”), that his wife was in the hospital in intensive care and asked him for Family Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) forms. Zanstra told Baxter he would have to get the forms from Human Resources. Baxter went to Human Resources immediately but found it closed. He left to be with his wife at the hospital but returned to Human Resources at 1:00 p.m. and obtained FMLA forms.
22. When Baxter reported to work the next day, Steven Dade told him that he was suspended for three days for missing work on April 25th. When Baxter told him he had FMLA forms which would excuse his absence, Dade told Baxter that he would have to take that up with
4

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 116-2 Filed 05/15/2007 Page 5 of 7
Human Resources. 23. On April 27, 2007, Baxter filed a second Charge with the EEOC complaining that
he had been discriminated against on the basis of his race and age, and in retaliation for his complaints of discrimination.
24. The unlawful employment practices described above were done willfully and with malice or with reckless indifference to Baxter’s federally protected rights based on his race and age and/or in retaliation for his complaints of discrimination.
FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION: TITLE VII RACE DISCRIMINATION 25. Baxter incorporates his prior allegations herein. 26. Baxter is a member of a protected class, African American. 27. Baxter was subjected to discrimination based upon his race. 28. As a result of the actions of Defendant, Baxter suffered damages.
SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION: AGE DISCRIMINATION 29. Baxter incorporates his prior allegations and cause of action herein. 30. Baxter is a member of a protected class, persons over the age of 40. 31. Baxter was subjected to discrimination based upon his age. 32. As a result of the actions of Defendant, Baxter suffered damages.
THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION: RETALIATION 33. Baxter incorporates his prior allegations and causes of action herein. 34. Baxter engaged in protected activity when he complained of racial and age discrimination to Albertson’s supervisors and when he filed charges with the EEOC.
5

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 116-2 Filed 05/15/2007 Page 6 of 7
35. In retaliation for Baxter engaging in protected activity, he received unwarranted discipline, less favorable job assignments and was denied transfer to, and the opportunity to train for more favorable positions.
36. As a result of the actions of Albertson’s, Baxter suffered damages. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court enter judgment in his favor and against the Defendant and award him all relief allowed by law including, but not limited to, the following: a. Actual economic damages as established at trial; b. Compensatory damages including, but not limited to, those for futrure pecuniary losses, emotional pain, suffering, inconvenience, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and other non-pecuniary losses; c.

Civil Action No. 06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION, Plaintiff, and CHRISTOPHER ADAMS, JAMES BAXTER, and JAMES STEADHAM Intervenors, vs. ALBERTSON’S LLC, Defendant. _____________________________________________________________________
COMPLAINT AND JURY DEMAND OF INTERVENORS CHRISTOPHER ADAMS AND JAMES STEADHAM
_____________________________________________________________________ Christopher Adams (“Adams”) and James Steadham (“Steadham”) (jointly the
“Intervenors”), by their attorneys the law firm of McNamara & Martínez LLP, complain against Defendant Albertson’s LLC as follows:
NATURE OF COMPLAINT IN INTERVENTION 1. This complaint in intervention is brought under (a) Section 1 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, 42 U.S.C. § 1981 (“Section 1981"), as amended, and (b) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e et seq. (“Title VII”), as amended. 2. Intervenors have been adversely affected by unlawful employment practices taken against them by Defendant on the basis of their African-American race

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 126-2 Filed 06/27/2007 Page 2 of 14
and/or black color. These unlawful employment practices include the maintenance of a severe, pervasive, and hostile work environment because of Intervenors’ race and/or color; discriminatory terms and conditions of Adams’ employment; and the discriminatory discharge of Adams. As redress for the damages they have suffered, and in the future will suffer, Intervenors seek legal and equitable remedies sufficient to make them whole, as more fully set forth below.
PARTIES 3. Adams is a citizen of the United States and a resident of the State of Colorado. Adams is African-American and a member of the black race, and is thus entitled to the rights and privileges protected by Section 1981 and Title VII. 4. Steadham is a citizen of the United States and a resident of the State of Colorado. Steadham is African-American and a member of the black race, and is thus entitled to the rights and privileges protected by Section 1981 and Title VII. 5. At all times herein relevant, Defendant has continuously been doing business in the State of Colorado, and has continuously had in excess of 15 employees in Colorado. 6. At all times relevant herein, Defendant was an employer engaged in an industry affecting commerce within the meaning of Sections 701 (b), (g) and (h) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. §2000e (b), (g) and (h). 7. At all times relevant herein, Defendant was Intervenors’ employer, within the meaning of Section 701 of Title VII.

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 126-2 Filed 06/27/2007 Page 3 of 14
JURISDICTION AND VENUE 8. This Court's federal question jurisdiction over Intervenors’ claims is invoked pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1343(a)(4). This action is authorized and instituted pursuant to Section 1981 and Section 706 of Title VII. 9. Venue is proper in this Court pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f) (3) and 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). The employment practices alleged to be unlawful were committed within the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. Defendant maintains offices and conducts business within the State of Colorado. 10. Plaintiff Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“Plaintiff” or “EEOC”) investigated two class-wide pattern or practice charges of discrimination filed by a former black employee of Defendant, Matthew Ricks. Based on these charges, on 30 June 2006, the EEOC filed the instant class action lawsuit, alleging that Defendant has, since at least 1995, maintained a hostile work environment affecting a class of employees based on their race, color and/or national origin, and has subjected employees to discriminatory terms and conditions of employment, based also on such class member’s race, color and/or national origin. 11. Intervenors are members of the similarly-situated class of minority employees described in Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint, and are aggrieved individuals within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1). 12. On 29 May 2007, Adams filed his charge of discrimination, Charge No. 541-2007-1928. This charge is being investigated by Plaintiff.

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 126-2 Filed 06/27/2007 Page 4 of 14
ALLEGATIONS OF INTERVENOR ADAMS 13. Adams first worked for Defendant from about June 2001 to about December 2004, when he voluntarily terminated his employment with Defendant. Adams then returned to Defendant’s employ in about January 2005, and continued to work for Defendant until his involuntary discharge in March 2007. 14. Adams worked at Defendant’s distribution center located at 2780 N. Tower Road, Aurora, CO 80011 (the “Distribution Center”). 15. Adams was an Order Selector while employed with Defendant. 16. Throughout his tenure with Defendant, Adams performed the functions of his position in a satisfactory manner.
Hostile Work Environment 17. Throughout his employment with Defendant, Adams has been subjected to a work environment at the Distribution Center which was permeated with racially explicit graffiti, epithets, drawings and writings. 18. The racially-offensive material to which Adams was exposed on a consistent and pervasive basis at the Distribution Center included, but were not limited to, the following: (a) “nigger”; (b) swastikas; (c) “nigger cottonpicker”; (d) “kill niggers”; (e) “die nigger die”; (f) “KKK”; (g) “white power”; (h) “a good nigger is a dead nigger”; (h) drawing of a gun with bullets hitting a black man; and (i) drawing of a black man with noose around neck. 19. Adams was exposed to these racially-offensive materials on a daily or nearly daily basis. At times viewing these racially-charged materials was so hurtful to
4

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 126-2 Filed 06/27/2007 Page 5 of 14
Adams that he used the rest room in the maintenance room instead of using the men’s room, where a major portion of these offensive materials were to be found.
20. Adams complained on numerous occasions to his supervisors about these racially-charged materials, including without limitation Jim Hayes and Nate Valentine. Adams informed his supervisors that he was very offended by these racial materials, and requested that these incidents and materials be promptly investigated.
21. Adams did not witness a member of management take prompt and effective remedial action in response to these complaints until about the time that this litigation was filed by the EEOC. Adams observed these racially-charged materials remain in place without removal for long periods of time.
Discriminatory Terms & Conditions of Employment 22. Adams was subjected to discriminatory work assignments during his tenure with Defendant, including without limitation: (a) Adams was denied a position in Grocery in favor of a white employee who had not even bid on the position pursuant to the collection bargaining agreement in effect at the Distribution Center; (b) When he was assigned to work the service deli area, Adams and other black Order Selectors were denied assistants, in contrast to similarly-situated white employees who were often given assistants when assigned to the service deli area; (c) Adams and other black employees were frequently assigned more difficult orders to fill, in contrast to similarly-situated white employees who were assigned easier orders to fill;
5

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 126-2 Filed 06/27/2007 Page 6 of 14
23. Adams was suspended without pay for about 2-3 days for failing to “pull average” during a particular calendar week, in contrast to similarly-situated white employees who failed to “pull average,” and were either not disciplined at all, or disciplined in a less severe manner; and
24. Adams was denied his requests to receive training on operating a forklift, how to load trailers, and how to replenish “pick slots,” in contrast to similarly-situated white employees who were provided such training.
Discriminatory Discharge 25. In about March 2007 Defendant accused Adams of engaging in a nonphysical altercation with a non-black employee. 26. Adams denied any inappropriate conduct in the incident, and he and the other employee involved gave conflicting versions of the incident to management. 27. Prior to this incident, Adams had no history of workplace arguments or violence. In contrast, the non-black employee involved had a history of arguments in the workplace. 28. Adams’ supervisor, Jim Hayes, tampered with and altered the report prepared as a result of this incident, in an effort to falsely create the impression that Adams was more culpable in the incident than he really was. 29. After concluding its investigation of the incident, Defendant discriminatorily chose to involuntarily discharge Adams, but kept the other employee on its payroll. 30. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant’s unlawful employment practices complained of herein, Adams has suffered, and in the future will suffer, back pay and fringe benefit losses, front pay and benefit losses, out-of-pocket pecuniary
6

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 126-2 Filed 06/27/2007 Page 7 of 14
losses, lost future earnings capacity, mental suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, humiliation, loss of reputation, intimidation and inconvenience, and other compensable, non-economic injuries.
ALLEGATIONS OF INTERVENOR STEADHAM 31. Steadham has continuously worked for Defendant since August 1982. 32. Throughout his tenure with Defendant, Steadham has worked at the Distribution Center. 33. Steadham has held the positions of Warehouseman, Loader and Forklift Operator, as well as having worked in the Shipping and Receiving department at the Distribution Center. 34. Throughout his tenure with Defendant, Steadham has performed the functions of his positions in a satisfactory manner. 35. Since about the early 1980s, Steadham has been subjected to a work environment at the Distribution Center which was permeated with racially explicit graffiti, epithets, drawings and writings. 36. The racially-offensive material to which Steadham was exposed on a consistent and pervasive basis at the Distribution Center included, but were not limited to, the following: (a) “nigger”; (b) swastikas; (c) “niggers go back to Africa”; (d) “go back to Africa”; (e) “nigger Nate”; (f) “KKK”; (g) “white power”; and (h) drawings of black men with huge penises, testicles, lips and hair. 37. Steadham was exposed to these racially-offensive materials with considerable frequency, at some points during the course of the class period on a daily or almost daily basis.
7

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 126-2 Filed 06/27/2007 Page 8 of 14
38. Steadham frequently complained over the course of the class period to his supervisors about these racial materials, including without limitation supervisors Jeff Gannon, Jim Hartley, Gary Scarff and Jeff Waite. Steadham informed his supervisors that he was very offended by these racial materials, and requested that these incidents and materials be promptly investigated and dealt with.
39. At times viewing these racially-charged materials was so hurtful to Steadham that he used the rest room in the maintenance room instead of using the men’s room, where a major portion of these offensive materials were to be found.
40. On numerous occasions over the course of the class period, notwithstanding the complaints of Steadham and other employees, Defendant failed to take prompt and effective remedial action in response to such complaints. On numerous such occasions the racially offensive materials described above remained in place without removal for several weeks and, on some occasions, months.
41. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant’s unlawful employment practices complained of herein, Steadham has suffered, and in the future will suffer, mental suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, humiliation, loss of reputation, intimidation and inconvenience, and other compensable, non-economic injuries.

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 166-2 Filed 08/31/2007 Page 2 of 12
and hostile work environment because of Intervenor’ national origin, and discriminatory terms and conditions of employment. As redress for the damages he has suffered, and in the future will suffer, Intervenor seek legal and equitable remedies sufficient to make him whole, as more fully set forth below.
PARTIES 3. Solis is a citizen of the United States and a resident of the State of Colorado. Solis was born in México is of Mexican-Hispanic national origin.

At all times herein relevant, Defendant has continuously been doing business in the State of Colorado, and has continuously had in excess of 15 employees in Colorado. 5. At all times relevant herein, Defendant was an employer engaged in an industry affecting commerce within the meaning of Sections 701 (b), (g) and (h) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. §2000e (b), (g) and (h). 6. At all times relevant herein, Defendant was Solis’ employer, within the meaning of Section 701 of Title VII.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE 7. This Court's federal question jurisdiction over Intervenor’s claims is invoked pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1343(a)(4). This action is authorized and instituted pursuant to Section 1981 and Section 706 of Title VII. 8. Venue is proper in this Court pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f) (3) and 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b).

2

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 166-2 Filed 08/31/2007 Page 3 of 12
committed within the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. Defendant maintains offices and conducts business within the State of Colorado.
9. Plaintiff Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“Plaintiff” or “EEOC”) investigated two class-wide pattern or practice charges of discrimination filed by a former black employee of Defendant, Matthew Ricks. Based on these charges, on 30 June 2006, the EEOC filed the instant class action lawsuit, alleging that Defendant has, since at least 1995, maintained a hostile work environment affecting a class of employees based on his race, color and/or national origin, and has subjected employees to discriminatory terms and conditions of employment, based also on such class member’s race, color and/or national origin.
10. Intervenor is a member of the similarly-situated class of minority employees described in Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint, and is an aggrieved individual within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1).
GENERAL FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS 11. Solis worked for Defendant from about July 2002 to August 2007. 12. Solis worked at Defendant’s distribution center located at 2780 North Tower Road, Aurora, CO 80011 (the “Distribution Center”). 13. While employed with Defendant, Solis was a Mechanic in the Maintenance Department at the Distribution Center. 14. Throughout his tenure with Defendant, Solis performed the functions of his position in at least a satisfactory manner.
3

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 166-2 Filed 08/31/2007 Page 4 of 12
Hostile Work Environment 15. Throughout his employment with Defendant, Solis has been subjected to a work environment at the Distribution Center which was permeated with racially explicit graffiti, epithets, drawings and writings. 16. Solis has heard offensive racial and ethnic slurs and comments at the Distribution Center, including but not limited to “nigger,” “fucking nigger,” “cholos,” “Mexicans should go back to México,” “dumb Mexicans,” “lazy Mexicans,” and “go back to México” and “go back to México you fucking Mexicans.” He also heard comments to the effect that the workers should speak English because this is the U.S. and not México. In addition, on several occasions Solis heard white employee Les Reed freely admit that he did not like black people and that he discriminated against black people. 17. Solis has heard managers and supervisors say “andele, andele” (“hurry up”) over the loudspeaker, and does not recall ever hearing any similar call to hurry up made in English. 18. Solis complained to his supervisor about these racially explicit comments. To Intervenor’s knowledge, no disciplinary action was ever taken against Reed or any other individual who made these comments. 19. On several occasions white co-worker Steve Ropp told Solis to “go back to México” and “don’t speak Spanish.” Although Solis complained to his supervisor, no disciplinary action was ever taken against Ropp and these comments continued. 20. Solis was very offended by these racial comments and informed his supervisor of this on more than one occasion, and requested that these comments stop. These comments continued on a frequent basis even after Solis complained.
4

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 166-2 Filed 08/31/2007 Page 5 of 12
21. Solis has also frequently seen offensive racial and ethnic writings in the workplace, including but not limited to swastikas, “nigger,” “fucking nigger,” “kill niggers,” “white power,” “go back to México,” “fucking spic,” “wetback,” “fucking wetback,” “a good nigger is a dead nigger,” and “porch monkeys.” Solis was exposed to these raciallyoffensive materials on a daily or nearly daily basis since his employment began with Defendant.
22. In November 2006 white employee Les Reed wrote on a calendar on November 20, a Mexican holiday, a comment to the effect that “all fucking Mexicans go back to Mexico, why are you here?”
23. Solis complained about the calendar writing to Foreman Victor Lopez, who in turn complained to Warehouse Manager Jim Hayes. Despite these complaints, the calendar remained up in full view of all employees for two days before it was removed. No disciplinary action was taken against Reed.
24. Solis informed his supervisors that he was very offended by these racial writings, and requested that these incidents and writings be promptly investigated.
25. Solis did not witness any member of management take prompt and effective remedial action in response to these complaints until about the time that this litigation was filed by the EEOC. Solis observed these racially-charged writings remain in place without removal for long periods of time.
Discriminatory Terms & Conditions of Employment 26. Solis was subjected to discriminatory work assignments during his tenure with Defendant, including without limitation the following:
5

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 166-2 Filed 08/31/2007 Page 6 of 12
27. Solis was frequently required to do more tasks than white Maintenance Department employees, and was also very frequently assigned tasks which were much harder and more difficult to do and complete than the tasks assigned to white Mechanics.
28. Solis was also frequently assigned to work alone on projects that required two workers, and to which a helper was assigned when the same projects are given to white employees. These were projects which included, but were not limited to, repairing overhead doors and repairing or installing racks.
29. Solis frequently complained to his supervisors about his discriminatory work assignments, and he specifically complained that he was expected to do more work, and harder work, solely because of his Mexican national origin. His complaints never resulted in a change in these discriminatory terms and conditions of employment.
30. George Potter, Manager of the Maintenance Department at the Distribution Center, often unilaterally changed Intervenor’s bid schedule. Solis initially assumed his schedule was subject to change because he was the least senior Mechanic. But even after he was no longer the least senior employee in the Maintenance Department, his schedule was often changed to his detriment, and to the benefit of a less senior white employee.
31. When Solis complained to Potter about the unilateral changes to his work schedule, he was told that if he wanted his regular days off, he could call in sick, a solution which would have caused Solis to be assessed points and disciplined under Defendant’s attendance policy.
6

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 166-2 Filed 08/31/2007 Page 7 of 12
32. Similarly, when Solis asked for time off he was frequently denied, while similar requests from white employees were routinely granted.
33. When Solis learned that an employee on the day shift was quitting, he requested that shift. Potter initially denied that anyone was quitting, and when a vacancy did occur on the day shift, the shift in question was assigned to a white employee who had less seniority at the time when Solis had made his transfer request.
34. Solis was publically humiliated by his General Manager in a manner never done to white employees. This occurred when Solis and his foreman, Mr. Lopez, were asked to repair a broken pallet jack. They were unable to immediately diagnose the problem because a pallet was stuck. While waiting to have a forklift remove the pallets, the Distribution Center’s General Manager, Charles Miller, became impatient and used another pallet jack to ram into the jammed pallet, causing the entire stack of pallets to fall. Miller blamed Solis and Lopez for breaking the pallet jack, yelling and publicly ridiculing them in the presence of a number of employees. Solis was embarrassed and humiliated by this unprecedented incident.
35. While employed with Defendant, Solis observed that several qualified minority employees, including Victor Lopez, Pete Dennis, and Jose Maldonado, were passed over for promotion in favor of white candidates hired from outside the company.
36. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant’s unlawful employment practices complained of herein, Solis has suffered, and in the future will suffer, mental suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, humiliation, loss of reputation, intimidation and inconvenience, and other compensable, non-economic injuries.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION, Plaintiff, and CHRISTOPHER ADAMS, JAMES BAXTER, LUIS SOLIS GONZÁLEZ, JAMES STEADHAM and NATE VALENTINE, Intervenors, vs. ALBERTSON’S LLC, Defendant. _____________________________________________________________________
COMPLAINT AND JURY DEMAND OF INTERVENOR NATE VALENTINE
_____________________________________________________________________ Nate Valentine (“Intervenor” or “Valentine”), by his attorneys the law firm of
McNamara, Roseman, Martínez & Kazmierski LLP, complains against Defendant Albertson’s LLC as follows:
NATURE OF COMPLAINT IN INTERVENTION 1. This complaint in intervention is brought pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e et seq. (“Title VII”), as amended. 2. Intervenor has been adversely affected by unlawful employment practices taken against him by Defendant on the basis of his black race. These unlawful

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 189-2 Filed 09/17/2007 Page 2 of 19
employment practices include the maintenance of a severe, pervasive, and hostile work environment, and discriminatory terms and conditions of employment. As redress for the damages he has suffered, Intervenor seeks legal and equitable remedies sufficient to make him whole, as more fully set forth below.
PARTIES 3. Valentine is an African-American citizen of the United States and a resident of the State of Pennsylvania. He is thus entitled to the rights and privileges protected by Title VII. 4. At all times herein relevant, Defendant has continuously been doing business in the State of Colorado, and has continuously had in excess of 15 employees in Colorado. 5. At all times herein relevant, Defendant was an employer engaged in an industry affecting commerce within the meaning of Sections 701 (b), (g) and (h) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. §2000e (b), (g) and (h). 6. At all times herein relevant, Defendant was Valentine’s employer, within the meaning of Section 701 of Title VII.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE 7. This Court's federal question jurisdiction over Intervenor’s claims is invoked pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1343(a)(4). This action is authorized and instituted pursuant to Section 706 of Title VII. 8. Venue is proper in this Court pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f) (3) and 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). The employment practices alleged to be unlawful were
2

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 189-2 Filed 09/17/2007 Page 3 of 19
committed within the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. Defendant maintains offices and conducts business within the State of Colorado.
9. Plaintiff Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“Plaintiff” or “EEOC”) investigated two class-wide pattern or practice charges of discrimination filed by a former black employee of Defendant, Matthew Ricks. Based on these charges, on 30 June 2006, the EEOC filed the instant class action lawsuit, alleging that Defendant has, since at least 1995, maintained a hostile work environment affecting a class of employees based on his race, color and/or national origin, and has subjected employees to discriminatory terms and conditions of employment, based also on such class member’s race, color and/or national origin.
10. Intervenor is a member of the similarly-situated class of minority employees described in Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint, has been identified as a Claimant in this litigation by the EEOC, and is an aggrieved individual within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1).
GENERAL FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS 11. Valentine began working for Defendant in March 1996 as an Order Selector at its Katy, Texas distribution center. 12. Based on his strong work ethic and performance, Valentine was promoted to Warehouse Foreman in September 1996. In April 1997, Valentine was further promoted to the position of Warehouse Supervisor at Defendant’s Katy, Texas facility. 13. In June 2000 Valentine accepted a lateral transfer to a Warehouse Supervisor position at Defendant’s distribution center located at 2780 North Tower Road, Aurora, CO 80011 (the “Distribution Center”). Valentine held the position of
3

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 189-2 Filed 09/17/2007 Page 4 of 19
Warehouse Supervisor during the entire period of time he was employed at the Distribution Center.
14. In February 2003, Valentine accepted another lateral transfer, this time to the position of Warehouse Supervisor at Defendant’s Lancaster, Penn. distribution center. After about one year, again based on his strong work ethic and performance, Valentine received another promotion, this time to the position of Warehouse Superintendent. He is today employed by Supervalu, Inc.
15. Throughout his tenure with Defendant, Valentine performed the functions of his positions in an above-average to superior manner.
Hostile Work Environment 16. Throughout his employment at the Distribution Center Intervenor was subjected to a work environment which was permeated with racially explicit graffiti, epithets, drawings and writings. 17. On a nearly daily basis Valentine was subjected to offensive racist graffiti and writings including, without limitation, “nigger,” “hang the nigger,” “boy,” “go back to Africa,” “a good nigger is a dead nigger,” “coons,” a drawing of a gun with bullets hitting a black man, swastikas, KKK, “white power,” drawing of a black man with big lips in a noose, “nigger cottonpicker,” “kill niggers,” drawing of Hitler, “fucking spic,” “fucking wetback,” “the only good spic is a dead spic,” “you’re paid in dollars not pesos,” “wetback,” “cholos,” “wetbacks go back to Mexico,” “lazy Mexicans or Hispanics,” “go back to Mexico,” “Mexicans are taking over,” “Mexicans will work for anything,” “Mexicans will work for free,” and “andele, andele.”
4

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 189-2 Filed 09/17/2007 Page 5 of 19
18. Valentine himself has been referred to as the “token nigger,” and on one occasion, the racist writings were directed at him personally, stating “Nate is a nigger,” or words to that effect.
19. Valentine observed these graffiti and writings primarily in the main men’s room by the break room, in the warm up room men’s room, and on racks in the warehouse.
20. Valentine estimates that in the 32 months that he worked at the Distribution Center (approximately 960 days), there were only about 30 days in which he was not subjected to the racist graffiti, writings and drawings described above.
21. Valentine observed several subordinate employees, including without limitation James Steadham and Brad Davis, complain about the racist graffiti and writings to Warehouse Manager James Hartley, and Hartley would take no action in response. Given Hartley’s inaction, Valentine was aware that Messrs. Steadham and Davis then lodged similar complaints with General Manager Gary Scarff. Although the racist comment about Valentine was removed after complaints were made to Scarff, the other racist graffiti and writings continued to appear.
22. As a Warehouse Supervisor Valentine himself personally received on several occasions complaints about the racist graffiti and writings from several subordinate employees, including without limitation Chris Adams, James Baxter, Brad Davis, Matt Ricks and James Steadham.
23. During the period of about November 2000 to about November 2002 Valentine was frequently the Warehouse Supervisor assigned to the night shift. During this time period, he prepared and sent about 15 e-mail messages to the managers in
5

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 189-2 Filed 09/17/2007 Page 6 of 19
his chain in command, including Hartley and James Zandstra, advising them of the complaints he had received from bargaining unit employees regarding racist graffiti and writings. He sent these e-mails because there were no higher-level managers at the Distribution Center during the night shift, and Valentine wanted to make sure that his superiors would be aware of these complaints when they arrived to work the following morning.
24. When Valentine was a Warehouse Supervisor during the day shift, he almost always brought his subordinate employees’ complaints about the racist graffiti and writings to the attention of his superiors in person. About 5% of the time he received complaints about the racist graffiti and writings on the day shift he communicated these complaints to his superiors via e-mail. Whether in person or via email, he personally brought the complaints of his subordinate employees to the attention of warehouse managers James Hayes, James Hartley and James Zandstra.
25. On at least one occasion, Valentine went in person to General Manager Gary Scarff, Defendant’s highest-ranking manager on site at the Distribution Center, and complained about the racist graffiti and writings. Valentine specifically remembers telling Scarff that he was personally being subjected to these offensive writings and drawings “all the time.” He also specifically recalls telling Scarff that the racist graffiti and writings would remain up for long periods of time, and that he hated to have to see these materials “day in and day out.”
26. Notwithstanding the multitude of occasions in which Valentine brought his own or his subordinate employees’ complaints about the racist graffiti and writings to the attention of the managers in his chain of command, Valentine was never once
6

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 189-2 Filed 09/17/2007 Page 7 of 19
asked by his superiors to investigate any of these complaints of, or to discipline anyone for, these infractions of Defendant’s anti-harassment and Courtesy, Dignity and Respect policies.
27. Notwithstanding the multitude of occasions in which Valentine brought his own or his subordinate employees’ complaints about the racist graffiti and writings to the attention of the managers in his chain of command, Valentine never once heard his fellow members of management discuss in supervisors’ meetings (or elsewhere) the need to promptly and effectively respond to these complaints of unlawful conduct at the Distribution Center.
28. Notwithstanding the multitude of occasions in which Valentine brought his own or his subordinate employees’ complaints about the racist graffiti and writings to the attention of the managers in his chain of command, Valentine never once observed or was informed that any member of management had investigated or otherwise responded to any of the complaints of racist graffiti and writings.
29. On several occasions Valentine brought the problem to the attention of Maintenance Department managers George Potter and Greg Sharits, whose department was responsible for the maintenance of the rest rooms. Far more frequently than not, Sharits and Potter would ignore Valentine’s requests that they assign maintenance staff to immediately remove the offensive materials from the walls of the men’s rooms.
30. On several occasions Valentine decided to take things into his own hands and, although he was not their supervisor, directed bargaining unit maintenance employees to remove the graffiti and writings.
7

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 189-2 Filed 09/17/2007 Page 8 of 19
31. Valentine suspected that white warehouse employee Randall Harmuth was responsible for a lot of the racist writings and graffiti. On one occasion, as soon as Valentine came into a restroom, Harmuth came out of one of the stalls with a marker in hand, and Valentine found there an incomplete racist drawing. Also, a substantial number of racist writings had been found in the freezer warm-up room near where Harmuth worked.
32. Valentine reported his suspicions concerning Harmuth to Warehouse Manager Hartley on more than one occasion. Hartley chose to ignore Valentine’s reports and took no action to investigate or discipline Harmuth. As a result, the racist writings and graffiti continued.
33. Notwithstanding the multitude of occasions in which Valentine brought his own or his subordinate employees’ complaints about the racist graffiti and writings to the attention of the managers in his chain of command, to Valentine’s knowledge no Distribution Center employee has ever been disciplined, suspended or discharged for violating Defendant’s anti-harassment and Courtesy, Dignity and Respect policies.
34. Throughout most of the time he was employed at the Distribution Center Valentine hated and dreaded coming to work because of the hostile work environment. He frequently had nightmares about the work environment in general and about James Hartley in particular.
35. Valentine was deeply offended, disturbed and hurt by the racist graffiti and writings to which he was subjected on an almost daily basis. Valentine had significant trouble sleeping, became increasing withdrawn from others, and suffered
8

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 189-2 Filed 09/17/2007 Page 9 of 19
emotional and mental trauma as a result, including without limitation loss of enjoyment of life and feelings of isolation and humiliation.
36. After his transfer to Defendant’s Lancaster, Penn. facility, Valentine was immediately struck with the difference between the work environment at that workplace and the work environment at the Distribution Center. The Lancaster facility was, for the most part, free of racial and national origin harassment and discrimination. Unlike the situation at the Distribution Center, to the extent there were any violations of Defendant’s policies at the Lancaster distribution center, upper management there promptly took action to address the problem.
Discriminatory Terms & Conditions of Employment 37. When he began working at the Distribution Center, Valentine observed that a dispatcher, Nancy Amore, was regularly assigning orders to Order Selectors out of sequence. He instructed Amore to stop this practice, and to assign orders in the proper sequence, that is, assign the next order up to the next available Order Selector. 38. On each occasion that he caught Amore assigning work orders out of sequence, Amore informed Valentine that she was only following the directives of Warehouse Manager Hartley. Valentine reported these incidents to his immediate supervisor, Warehouse Superintendent Tim Smith, as well as to Hartley. Both managers informed Valentine that they would speak to Amore about his concerns, but Valentine continued to observe the manipulation of work order assignments on subsequent occasions. 39. As a Warehouse Supervisor, Valentine began to receive complaints from a number of minority subordinate employees about the assignment of work orders.
9

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 189-2 Filed 09/17/2007 Page 10 of 19
These employees complained to him that the assignment of work orders was being manipulated on the basis of race and national origin.
40. Upon being made aware of these complaints, Valentine paid closer attention to which employees were being assigned the more difficult and timeconsuming orders to pick, and which were getting the easier orders. After some time, it became clear to Valentine that the manipulation of work order assignments was not an accident or coincidence. Valentine noticed that time after time black and Hispanic Order Selectors were being assigned the harder and more difficult work orders, while white employees received the lighter and easier order assignments. Valentine became convinced that the manipulation of work order assignments, done at the direction of Warehouse Manager Hartley, was motivated by race and national origin.
41. Valentine raised his concerns with upper management that work orders were being selectively assigned to the detriment of racial and ethnic minority employees. His concerns were ignored and the work orders continued to be assigned in this discriminatory manner throughout the remainder of his tenure at the Distribution Center.
42. As a Warehouse Supervisor, one of Valentine’s duties was to make work assignments at the beginning of a shift for his subordinate employees. Valentine’s practice was to make such assignments on the basis of seniority. He would assign less senior employees to perform Order Selector duties, while more senior employees would be assigned to preferred positions, such as forklift operator and receiving.
43. On numerous occasions, Warehouse Manager Hartley would overrule Valentine’s initial work assignments for reasons Valentine, at least at first, did not
10

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 189-2 Filed 09/17/2007 Page 11 of 19
understand. Hartley frequently reassigned minority employees, who had been given preferable job assignments by Valentine based on their greater seniority, back to Order Selector duties, and then would move less senior white employees into the newly vacant preferred job positions.
44. Valentine was concerned and upset about this, but was not in a position to countermand the Warehouse Manager, who was his second-level Supervisor. After observing this pattern of reassigned job duties repeat itself over and over, Valentine concluded that these reassignments of job duties were being implemented by Hartley on the basis of race and national origin.
45. Valentine also observed that Hartley would frequently change and rearrange the work schedule of warehouse employees in order to meet the personal preferences of white employees, very often at the expense of black and Hispanic employees. The frequency of this practice also led Valentine to conclude that Hartley was intentionally and selectively accommodating the schedule preferences of warehouse employees on the basis of race and national origin.
46. Order Selectors at the Distribution Center have their work performance measured, at least in part, on the number of cartons of merchandise they “pick” during the time they are “on the clock.” The practice at the Distribution Center, however, was not to count “down time,” that is, time in which an Order Selector was asked to perform tasks at the request of management other than picking orders.
47. Bilingual Hispanic employees at the Distribution Center are sometimes requested by management to perform translation duties, for example in the course of new employee training conducted for newly hired employees who did not speak
11

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 189-2 Filed 09/17/2007 Page 12 of 19
English. Valentine on several occasions observed warehouse managers, including without limitation Jeff Brown, ask Hispanic employees to translate for them and then deny these employees down time for the period they were interpreting for him instead of picking orders. This practice adversely affected these Hispanic employees’ productivity numbers. Valentine observed this being done to Hispanic employees José Díaz, Orlando González, José Maldonado, and others.
48. Lower productivity numbers not only affected the overall performance evaluations of these Hispanic employees. Lower productivity also directly and adversely impacted the condition of these employees’ employment, given the wellestablished practice at the Distribution Center to assign new job equipment and tools to employees with the highest productivity rates.
49. As Warehouse Supervisor, Valentine developed an innovative plan to try to reduce the turnover of new employees. Under this plan, new employees who were struggling to make their production quota, but who otherwise had a demonstrated record of good attendance and work ethic, would not be terminated after a probationary period. Instead, Valentine would attempt to ensure that these employees received additional time and guidance to assist them in making their production quota.
50. After he had implemented this plan for about a month, Valentine went on vacation. While he was away, the minority employees who had qualified for Valentine’s program were abruptly terminated. In contrast, two newer white employees who had already developed attendance problems and who had exhibited an inappropriate attitude toward their jobs were retained. Valentine checked the attendance records of
12

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 189-2 Filed 09/17/2007 Page 13 of 19
the terminated minority employees and confirmed to himself that these employees should not have been fired.
51. Valentine sensed that Warehouse Manager Hartley did not like him, and several other employees and managers told him that Hartley had expressly said he did not like Valentine. Valentine observed that Hartley would frequently countermand his decisions. Hartley was very disrespectful to Valentine, and would talk down to him in a way that was demeaning and degrading. Valentine did not observe Hartley treat or interact with white supervisors or managers in a similar manner.
52. In early 2001 Valentine missed 2-3 days from work when he required surgery after having aggravated a prior back injury. When he returned from work, Hartley required him to bring a doctor’s excuse. In contrast, white Warehouse Supervisor Jim German informed Valentine that when he had missed 3 ½ weeks of work due to an illness, he was not required to bring in a doctor’s excuse. German told Valentine that the difference in treatment was a result of the fact that “Hartley and Smith don’t like you because of the color of your skin.”
53. For over a year (in the 2001 - 2002 time period) Valentine was the only Warehouse Supervisor with split days off, that is, his days off were never in a row. All of the white Warehouse Supervisors and Superintendents were almost always scheduled two consecutive days in a row off by Warehouse Manager Hartley.
54. When Valentine complained to Hartley about the inequity of this arrangement, Hartley was dismissive of him. Hartley told Valentine that he was tired of hearing about it, and that the schedule was the schedule.
13

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 189-2 Filed 09/17/2007 Page 14 of 19
55. German told Valentine that he and some other supervisors had gone to Hartley on Valentine's behalf, and that Hartley had told them that as long as he was Warehouse Manager Valentine would never get two days off in a row. German told Valentine that the knew Hartley was prejudiced against racial minorities because of the comments he (German) had heard Hartley say about minority employees at the Distribution Center.
56. Valentine was primarily responsible for having spreadsheets that contained the warehouse’s productivity numbers posted for over two years on the employee bulletin board at the Distribution Center. These spreadsheets clearly indicated that Valentine had the highest productivity rates (measured by number of cases shipped per shift) of any of the Warehouse Supervisors during the period of January 2001 through February 2003.
57. Notwithstanding the fact that Valentine’s productivity rates were higher than all of the white Warehouse Supervisors, his salary was lower than all of the white Warehouse Supervisors.
58. Notwithstanding the fact that Valentine’s productivity rates were higher than all of the white Warehouse Supervisors, his salary raises were lower than all of the white Warehouse Supervisors.
59. While employed at the Distribution Center, Valentine also observed that minority employees who complained about workplace matters were especially harassed by management. For example, Valentine noticed that Charging Party Matt Ricks was in his view unfairly harassed by management as a result of complaining about discriminatory terms and conditions at work. On one occasion, Valentine heard Hartley
14

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 189-2 Filed 09/17/2007 Page 15 of 19
say something to the effect “That motherfucker Matt Ricks I’m sick and tired of him and I’m going to get rid of him. He is nothing but problems and I’m sick and tired of his BS. And if I have to get rid of one of you guys (meaning Valentine or another supervisor) too, I will.”
60. In contrast, Valentine observed white warehouse employee Randall Harmuth file numerous complaints and grievances. Unlike Ricks, however, he was not harassed or targeted for termination by management.
61. Valentine was a supervisor on duty when African-American employee Teashaud Jackson broke his leg. The next day, when Jackson’s grandparents called, concerned about whether he would be fired, and Valentine assured them he would not. Valentine was thereafter shocked to learn that Jackson had in fact been fired. Valentine believes that Jackson would not have been fired if he were white, as he has seen white warehouse employees who are injured on the job be allowed to return to work and not be terminated.
62. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant’s unlawful employment practices complained of herein, Valentine has suffered mental suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, humiliation, loss of reputation, intimidation and inconvenience, and other compensable, non-economic injuries.
FIRST CLAIM FOR RELIEF (Hostile Work Environment Based on Race in Violation of Title VII) 63. Intervenor incorporates the allegations set forth in paragraphs 1 through 62 of this complaint as if fully alleged herein.
15

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 189-2 Filed 09/17/2007 Page 16 of 19

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 06-cv-01273 WYD-BNB EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION, Plaintiff, v. ALBERTSON'S LLC flk/a Albertson's Inc. Defendant, JAMES BAXTER, Intervenor.
AMENDED COMPLAINT IN INTERVENTION AND JURY DEMAND
Plaintiff/Intervenor, James L. Baxter ("Baxter"), having been permitted to intervene in this case, states as follows:
JURISDICTION AND VENUE 1. Jurisdiction of this Court is invoked pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 451, 133.1, 1337, 1343 and 1345. 2. This action is authorized and instituted pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e-2(a), 2000e-3, 2000e-5(f)(1), 2000e-5(f)(3), and 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981 and 1981a.
1

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 282-2 Filed 12/07/2007 Page 2 of 6
3. The employment practices alleged to be unlawful were committed within the boundaries of the United States District Court for the District of Colorado and venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S. C. § 1391.
PARTIES 4. Baxter is a 54 year old black man. 5. At all relevant times, Defendant Albertson's LLC f/k!a Albertson's Inc. ("Defendant" or "Albertson's") has continuously conducted business in the State of Colorado and has continuously·employed at least twenty (20) people. 6. At all relevant times, Defendant has continuously been a employer engaged in an industry affecting commerce within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e-(b), (g) and (h) and 29 U.S.C.. §§ 630(g) and (h).
GENERAL ALLEGATIONS 7. Plaintiff incorporates his prior allegations herein. 8. Baxter is a member of a class of individuals who were subjected to disparate terms and conditions of employment because of race and age. 9. Since September 1, 1989, Baxter has been employed by Defendant at Albertson's Distribution Center Warehouse #8281 in Aurora, Colorado as a warehouse order selector. 10. During the course ofhis employment, he has been subjected to harassment including racial insults and workplace graffiti based on his race and age which have been sufficiently pervasive or severe enough to alter the terms and conditions of his employment. 11. Albertson's knew or should have known about the harassment.
2

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 282-2 Filed 12/07/2007 Page 3 of 6
12. For example, Swastikas have been drawn on the bathroom walls and fixtures. The words "Kunta" and "lazy n-word" have been written on warehouse equipment. ("Kunta" is the name of the black protagonist in the movie "Roots".)
13. During the course of his employment, Baxter has regularly complained to supervisors about instances of bigotry and racial insults.
14. During the course of his employment, Baxter has been subjected to unwarranted discipline and given less favorable work assignments because ofhis race and age and because he has complained about discrimination based on race and age.
15. During the course ofhis employment, Baxter, because ofhis race and age, and because he has complained about discrimination based on race and age, has been denied opportunities to transfer to more favorable positions such as Aisle Forklift Operator and has been denied sufficient opportunities to train for such positions.
16. It is Albertson's stated policy that employees perform their work safely. However, on December 21, 2000, Baxter was written up for allegedly wasting company time by checking his equipment to determine why its handle would not spring back up. The condition of the handle was a matter of safety.
17. On July 3, 2003, Baxter was the only order selector working in the candy, bakery and E divisions of the warehouse. A manager, Steven Dade, told him he was working too slowly and holding up loads. Baxter was replaced by another worker and sent to work in the A and B divisions. Selecting from the A and B divisions is much more physically demanding than selecting from the other divisions in the warehouse. Individuals who were loading told Baxter
3

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 282-2 Filed 12/07/2007 Page 4 of 6
that he had not slowed them down. 18. Baxter believes that, because of his race and age and, because he has complained
about racial discrimination, he has been given job assignments as a selector which make it harder for him to meet production standards.
19. On September 21, 2006, Baxter filed a complaint with the EEOC complaining that he had been discriminated against on the basis of his race, age, and in retaliation for his complaints about discrimination.
20. On April23, 2007, Baxter's wife became ill. Their 15 year old daughter called Albertson's three times trying to talk with her father about her mother's condition. Each time, she told the person who answered the phone that it was an emergency. Each time she was only given voice mail and was not allowed to speak to Baxter. When Baxter returned home, he found his wife unconscious. She was taken to the hospital where she remained until April 26, 2007.
21. On April25, 2007, Baxter went to work at 6:00a.m. He advised the manager, Jim Zanstra ("Zanstra"), that his wife was in the hospital in intensive care and asked him for Family Medical Leave Act ("FMLA") forms. Zanstra told Baxter he would have to get the forms :from Human Resources. Baxter went to Human Resources immediately but found it closed. He left to be with his wife at the hospital but returned to Human Resources at 1:00 p.m. and obtained FMLA forms.
22. When Baxter reported to work the next day, Steven Dade told him that he was suspended for three days for missing work on April 25th. When Baxter told him he had FMLA forms which would excuse his absence, Dade told Baxter that he would have to take that up with
4

Case 1:06-cv-01273-WYD-BNB Document 282-2 Filed 12/07/2007 Page 5 of 6
Human Resources. 23. On April27, 2007, Baxter filed a second Charge with the EEOC complaining that
he had been discriminated against on the basis of his race and age, and in retaliation for his complaints of discrimination.
24. .The unlawful employment practices described above were done willfully and with malice or with reckless indifference to Baxter's federally protected rights based on his race.
FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION: TITLE VII and§ 1981 RACE DISCRIMINATION 25. Baxter incorporates his prior allegations herein. 26. Baxter is a member of a protected class, African American. 27. Baxter was subjected to discrimination based upon his race. 28. As a result of the actions of Defendant, Baxter suffered damages. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court enter judgment in his favor
and against the Defendant and award him all relief allowed by law including, but not limited to, the following:
a. Actual economic damages as established at trial; b. Compensatory damages including, but not limited to, those for future pecuniary losses, emotional pain, suffering, inconvenience, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment oflife, and other non-pecuniary losses; c. Punitive damages for all claims allowed by law in an amount to be determined at trial; d. Pre-judgment and post-judgment interest at the legal rate; e. Attorney's fees and costs; and

Opinion
ORDER
BOYD N. BOLAND, United States Magistrate Judge. *1 This matter is before me on Plaintiff’s EEOC’s Motion for Protective Order [Doc. # 54, filed 12/17/2006] (the “Motion for Protective Order”). The motion seeks an order that the discovery sought through Albertson’s Rule 30(b)(6) deposition notice on the EEOC not be had. The Motion for Protective Order is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART, as specified.
Albertson’s Rule 30(b)(6) deposition notice lists 21 matters on which examination is requested. The EEOC opposes every category.
Categories 1–2 and 19–20 The first two categories specified in the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition notice request that the EEOC produce a witness to testify about the following:
1. Factual information that supports or rebuts the claim by the EEOC that Albertson’s subjected any past or present employee at the Albertson’s distribution center in Aurora, Colorado ... to disparate terms and condition of employment based upon his/her race, color, and/or national origin. 2. Factual information that supports or rebuts the claim by the EEOC that Albertson’s subjected any past or present employee at the Distribution Center to a hostile work environment because of his/her race, color, and/or national origin. Exhibit 2 to Motion for Protective Order [Doc. # 54–3] (the “Rule 30(b)(6) Notice”) at ¶¶ 1–2. In addition, Categories 19 and 20 of the Rule 30(b)(6) Notice request a witness to testify about the following: 19. Factual information which supports the relief sought by the EEOC in this action, including but not limited to punitive and injunctive relief. 20. Factual information that supports or rebuts the claim of any potential claimant in this action. Id. at ¶¶ 19–20.
1

E.E.O.C. v. Albertson’s LLC, Not Reported in F.Supp.2d (2007)
The EEOC argues that the information sought is irrelevant because it is intended to probe the adequacy of the EEOC’s investigation and would “saddle every discrimination case with a mini-trial into the sufficiency of the evidence supporting a Commission determination....” Motion for Protective Order at pp. 4–5. The EEOC also claims that it has provided its investigation file to Albertson’s and that testimony by the EEOC would be cumulative of the contents of the file. Id. at p. 6.
Albertson’s responds that the information called for by these categories of the Rule 30(b)(6) Notice concerns “factual information relating to the EEOC’s claims in this lawsuit....” Defendant Albertson’s LLC’s Opposition to Plaintiff EEOC’s Motion for a Protective Order [Doc. # 61, filed 1/12/2007] (the “Response”) at p. 5.
The complaint alleges that the Albertson’s distribution center is a hostile work environment where employees are subjected to harassment based on race and national origin and that employees at the distribution center are subjected to disparate treatment based on their race, color, and national origin. Complaint [Doc. # 1, filed 6/30/2007] at pp. 3, 5. Albertson’s is entitled to conduct discovery “regarding any matter, not privileged, that is relevant to the claim or defense of any party, including the existence, description, nature, custody, condition, and location of any books, documents, or other tangible things and the identity and location of persons having knowledge of any discoverable matter.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b)(1). Categories 1–2 and 19–20 of the Rule 30(b)(6) Notice seek information that is obviously relevant. Nor must Albertson’s be content with the EEOC’s investigation file. For example, Albertson’s may ask what documents were reviewed in the course of the EEOC investigation and what documents evidence that there is discrimination at the distribution center; or Albertson’s might ask the identity of persons the EEOC believes have knowledge about the claimed discrimination. The answers to these questions may or may not be in the investigation file, or the information in the investigation file may not be complete.
*2 The EEOC also claims that these categories seek information protected from discovery by the attorney work product doctrine and the deliberative process privilege. As Albertson’s points out, however, “not a single question has been asked at deposition....” Response at p. 7.
The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals has disapproved the use of a blanket assertion of privilege, holding:
A general refusal to cooperate [in discovery] is not enough. [A lawyer asserting a privilege] must normally raise the privilege as to each record sought and each question asked so that ... the court can rule with specificity.
United States v. Hodgson, 492 F.2d 1175, 1177 (10th Cir.1974); see In re Grand Jury Subpoena, 697 F.2d 277, 279 n. 1 (10th Cir.1983)(noting that the Tenth Circuit has “explicitly condemned ... a blanket assertion” of privilege, citing United States v.. Hodgson ).
Even the cases cited by the EEOC recognize that some factual discovery may be proper by way of a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition directed at the EEOC. In EEOC v. American Int’l Group, Inc., 1994 WL 376052 (S.D.N.Y. July 18, 1994), for example, the court ordered the EEOC to produce a witness to answer questions concerning (1) the interviews conducted during the investigation and (2) documents and other material reviewed by the deponent in preparation for the deposition, noting:
The disclosure of this information [who was interviewed and what the deponent did to refresh his recollection of the facts in the case] does not reveal the agency’s trial strategy or its analysis of the case. For example, knowing who was interviewed does not intrude upon the mental impressions of the attorney. Presumably, the interview process in an investigation includes people and information which will be discarded as the attorney begins the analysis and plans strategy. Similarly, what information a witness reviews in preparation for a deposition does not reveal the thought processes of the attorneys. Documents are reviewed by a deponent for many reasons. There is a distinct difference between asking what was reviewed as opposed to why it was reviewed.
Id. at *3.
The Motion for Protective Order is DENIED with respect to Categories 1–2 and 19–20 insofar as it seeks a blanket protective order. The EEOC is free during the deposition to assert objections to specific questions, if necessary, to preserve a privilege.
2

E.E.O.C. v. Albertson’s LLC, Not Reported in F.Supp.2d (2007)
Categories 4–8, 13–15, and 21 The Rule 30(b)(6) Notice requests that the EEOC produce a witness to testify about the following:
4. Communications to the EEOC since 1990 from any past or present employee at the Distribution Center, or on his/her behalf, referring or relating to Albertson’s.
5. Communications by the EEOC since 1990 with any past or present employee at the Distribution Center (including any of their attorneys, agents or representatives) referring or relating to Albertson’s.
6. The investigation by the EEOC of charges purportedly filed by Matthew Ricks with the EEOC, including charge numbers 320A200925, 230–2004–01187 and 320–2004–02530.
*3 7. The contents of all investigative files maintained by the EEOC since 1990 pertaining to any charges of discrimination filed against Albertson’s by any past or present employee at the Distribution Center.
8. Investigations by the EEOC since 1990 into all charges of alleged discrimination filed against Albertson’s by any past or present employee at the Distribution Center.
* * *
13. Communications between the EEOC and Albertson’s since 1990 concerning any alleged violations of Title VII at any Albertson’s facility in the State of Colorado.
14. Statements obtained by the EEOC since 1990 from any past or present employee at the Distribution Center referring or relating to Albertson’s.
15. Communications between the EEOC and the Colorado Civil Rights Division since 1990 referring to Albertson’s.
Rule 30(b)(6) Notice, at ¶¶ 4–8 and 13–15.
I will begin with Category 21. Local rule of practice 37.1, D.C. COLO. LCivR, requires that discovery requests that are the subject of motions to compel or for protective order be set forth verbatim. The Motion for Protective Order fails to provide the text of Category 21, and the response contains only a redacted version of the request. Response at pp. 5–6 n. 2. The Motion for Protective Order is DENIED with respect to Category 21 for failure to comply with D.C.COLO.LCivR 37.1.
The EEOC argues that it cannot provide testimony on these categories because they involve closed and unrelated charges. According to the EEOC, it is “precluded by law from disclosing the existence of any such charges, absent a written waiver from both the Charging Party and the Respondent,” citing 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e–5(b) and 8(e).
The EEOC’s argument lacks merit. Section 2000e–5, 42 U.S.C., states that “[c]harges shall not be made public by the Commission,” and section 2000e–8(e) imposes penalties on EEOC officers or employees who “make public in any manner” certain information obtained by the EEOC. (Emphasis added.) Courts construing these provisions, including the United States Supreme Court, have made clear that the term “public” does not include either the charging party or the employer. As the Supreme Court said in EEOC v. Associated Dry Goods Corp., 449 U.S. 590, 596–98 (1981):
Title VII nowhere defines “public.”
* * *
Congress did not include charging parties within the “public” to whom disclosure of confidential information is illegal under the provisions of Title VII here at issue [citing 42 U.S.C. § 2000e–5(b) ]. The charge, of course, cannot be concealed from the charging party. Nor can it be concealed from the respondent, since the statute also expressly requires the Commission to serve notice of the charge upon the respondent within 10 days of its filing.... Thus, the “public” to whom the statute forbids disclosure of charges cannot logically include the parties to the agency proceeding. And we must infer that Congress intended the same distinction when it used the word “public in § 709(e), 42 U.S.C. § 2000e–8(e).
*4 In addition, should the EEOC deem it necessary, I will condition the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition on the entry of a protective order limiting the dissemination of confidential information learned in the deposition to appropriate persons.

E.E.O.C. v. Albertson’s LLC, Not Reported in F.Supp.2d (2007)
Because the only reason advanced by the EEOC for a protective order with respect to Categories 7–8 and 13–15 is the privacy argument under 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e–5(b) and 8(e), which I find lacks merit, the Motion for Protective Order is DENIED with respect to those categories.
With respect to Categories 4–6, the EEOC also seeks a protective order arguing that the information is subject to the EEOC’s deliberative process privilege and the attorney work product immunity. As noted earlier, however, no questions have been asked at any deposition, and the Tenth Circuit has expressly condemned such a blanket assertion of privilege. In re Grand Jury Subpoena, 697 F.2d at 279 n. 1; Hodgson, 492 F.2d at 1177. Consequently, neither of the EEOC’s bases for seeking a protective order justifies the relief sought at this time, and the Motion for Protective Order is DENIED with respect to Categories 4–6. Here again, however, the EEOC is free during the deposition to assert objections to specific questions, if necessary, to preserve a privilege.
I do not agree, however, that the EEOC must provide testimony about events dating back more than 17 years. The complaint alleges that Albertson’s has engaged in unlawful employment practices at its distribution center since 1995. Complaint at ¶ 8. Consequently, I will limit the scope of the Rule 30(b)(6) Notice to events occurring on or after January 1, 1995.
Category 3 Category 3 of the Rule 30(b)(6) Notice requests that the EEOC produce a witness to testify about the following:
3. Factual information that supports or rebuts the claim by the EEOC that Albertson’s discriminated against any past or present employee at the Distribution Center because he/she has opposed any practice made an unlawful employment practice by Title VII or because he/she had made a charge, testified, assisted or participated in any manner in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under Title VII.
Rule 30(b)(6) Notice at ¶ 3.
The EEOC correctly states that there is no claim for retaliation made in the complaint. Absent such a claim, evidence concerning retaliation, if any, is irrelevant and not subject to discovery under Rule 26.
The Motion for Protective Order is GRANTED with respect to Category 3.
Categories 17–18 The Rule 30(b)(6) Notice requests that the EEOC produce a witness to testify about the following:
17. Documents produced by the EEOC pursuant to its Rule 26 obligations and/or in response to Albertson’s Request(s) for Production of Documents.
18. Contents of and information set forth in the EEOC’s initial disclosures pursuant to Rule 26.
*5 Rule 30(b)(6) Notice at ¶¶ 17–18.
The EEOC seeks a protective order that this discovery not be had because it improperly probes “the EEOC’s deliberative process and/or the mental processes of EEOC attorneys.” Motion for Protective Order at p. 2. I cannot agree that the EEOC has shown the existence of a privilege where, as here, there has not been a single question asked. For example, I see no problem with an inquiry by Albertson’s about the origin of the documents disclosed, or probing the thoroughness of the attempt by the EEOC to locate responsive documents. Similarly, inquiry about the nature of information an identified witness may possess does not appear to me to be objectionable. Consequently, the EEOC’s blanket assertion of privilege is unfounded, see Hodgson, 492 F.2d at 1177, and the Motion for Protective Order is DENIED at this time with respect to Categories 17–18. The EEOC is free during the deposition to assert objections to specific questions, if necessary, to preserve a privilege.

E.E.O.C. v. Albertson’s LLC, Not Reported in F.Supp.2d (2007)
Categories 9–11 The Rule 30(b)(6) Notice requests that the EEOC produce a witness to testify about the following:
9. The identity of any past or present employee at the Distribution Center whom the EEOC claims to represent in this action and the basis for the EEOC’s claim of representation.
10. Communications between the EEOC and potential claimants since 1990 regarding the possibility that the Commission’s and the claimant’s interests may diverge during litigation.
Communications between the EEOC and potential claimants since 1990 regarding consent to representation by the EEOC pursuant to Rule 1.7 of the Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct.
Rule 30(b)(6) Notice at ¶¶ 9–11.
The EEOC objects to these categories, arguing that such inquiry will invade the attorney-client privilege. Motion for Protective Order at pp. 12–14.
Information responsive to Category 9, which seeks testimony about who the EEOC represents and the bases for that assertion, is not privileged. To the contrary, numerous cases have held that the EEOC bears the burden of establishing which allegedly aggrieved parties it represents and the bases upon which the EEOC claims to have an attorney-client relationship with the party. For example, in EEOC v. Int’l Profit Associates, Inc., 206 F.R.D. 215 (N.D.Ill.2002), the court found that certain allegedly aggrieved employees had established an attorney-client relationship with the EEOC. In doing so, however, the court did not rely merely on the fact that the EEOC claimed that the particular employees were among the allegedly aggrieved parties; instead, the court noted that the women had “contacted the EEOC via returned questionnaires or telephone calls” and that “each woman identified as a class member was asked if she wished the EEOC to act in her behalf in this lawsuit and each class member replied in the affirmative.” Id. at 218. Accord EEOC v. Johnson & Higgins, Inc., 1998 WL 778369 *4 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 6, 1998) (holding that in connection with an EEOC enforcement action “[w]hether a privileged attorney-client relationship exists rests upon the client’s intent to seek legal advice and the client’s belief that he is consulting an attorney.... The burden of sustaining the privilege is on the proponent—here, the EEOC”); EEOC v. Chemtech Int’l Corp., 1995 WL 608333 *2 (S.D.Tex. May 17, 1995) (finding that an attorney-client relationship existed between an aggrieved party and the EEOC based on an affidavit from the client stating that he believed that an attorney-client relationship existed); EEOC v. Georgia–Pacific Corp., 1975 WL 267 (D.Ore. Nov. 10, 1975)(finding an attorney-client relationship based on the contents of the client’s letters clearly indicating that she was contacting the EEOC litigation center for expert legal advice and that she expected her communications to remain confidential). The Motion for Protective Order is DENIED with respect to Category 9.
*6 Categories 10–11 are different. The communications which Albertson’s seeks to probe may be privileged with respect to any allegedly aggrieved party which the EEOC represents, at least as to any such communications which occurred after the representation was established. Ultimately, however, the issue of the existence of a privilege turns on the questions asked and the relationship between the EEOC and the allegedly aggrieved party. Consequently, the Motion for Protective Order is DENIED to the extent that it seeks a blanket protective order; however, the EEOC is free to assert the existence of an attorney-client privilege and refuse to answer improper questions on a question-by-question basis, if such an objection is warranted.
In addition, I will limit the inquiry under Categories 10 and 11 to the period of time from January 1, 1995, to the present.
Category 16 Category 16 of the Rule 30(b)(6) Notice requests that the EEOC produce a witness to testify about the following:
16. Efforts by the EEOC to conciliate the matters alleged in this action.
Rule 30(b)(6) Notice at ¶ 16.
The EEOC claims that this information is privileged and cannot be produced “without the written consent of the persons concerned.” Motion for Protective Order at p. 14. In support of its argument, the EEOC points to the following language in 42 U.S.C. § 2000e–5(b):
5

E.E.O.C. v. Albertson’s LLC, Not Reported in F.Supp.2d (2007)
If the Commission determines after such investigation that there is reasonable cause to believe that the charge is true, the Commission shall endeavor to eliminate any such alleged unlawful employment practice by informal methods of conference, conciliation, and persuasion. Nothing said or done during and as a part of such informal endeavors may be made public by the Commission, its officers or employees, or used as evidence in a subsequent proceeding without the written consent of the persons concerned.
(Emphasis added.)1
As noted earlier, see pp. 6–7 supra, courts construing § 2000e–5(b) have made it clear that the term “public” as used in that statute does not include either the charging party or the employer. See Associated Dry Goods Corp., 449 U.S. at 596–98 (holding that “the ‘public’ to whom the statute forbids disclosure of charges cannot logically include the parties to the agency proceeding”). The EEOC’s privilege argument under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e–5(b) therefore lacks merit. The Motion for Protective Order is DENIED with respect to Category 16.

Category 12 Category 12 of the Rule 30(b)(6) Notice requests that the EEOC produce a witness to testify about the following:
12. Training provided by any EEOC employee since 1990 to any past or present employee at the Distribution Center.
Rule 30(b)(6) Notice at ¶ 12.
The EEOC seeks a protective order with respect to this category, arguing:
Clearly, [Albertson’s] is claiming ignorance of the law and is seeking to shift the blame for their discriminatory practices to the EEOC for not “ensuring” that [Albertson’s] fulfilled their obligations under Title VII. Such a defense is not legally cognizable, is simply not relevant t the issues of this lawsuit, and is merely yet another attempt by [Albertson’s] to harass the [EEOC].
*7 Motion for Protective Order at p. 14. Albertson’s responds that the EEOC seeks as part of the remedy to be awarded an order that Albertson’s “provide training to its officers, managers, and employees regarding discriminatory [sic], harassment and retaliation in the workplace.” Response at p. 14. Consequently, according to Albertson’s, discovery regarding training “is clearly relevant to the propriety of the relief that the EEOC is seeking....” Id. at pp. 14–15.
I agree that the issue of training may have some marginal relevance to the matters raised in this case. Consequently, the Motion for Protective Order is DENIED with respect to Category 12.
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion for Protective Order is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART as follows:
GRANTED with respect to Category 3. That discovery shall not be had;
GRANTED to limit the time frame covered by Categories 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 to the period from January 1, 1995; and
DENIED in all other respects.

Intervenors,
v.
ALBERTSON'S LLC, flk/a ALBERTSON'S, INC., Defendant.
CONSENT DECREE
I. RECITALS 1. Plaintiff Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"), an agency of the
United States, instituted in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado Civil Action No. 06-cv-01273 CMA-BNB, alleging that Defendant Albertson's LLC ("Albertson's") engaged in a pattern or practice of disparate treatment in terms and conditions of employment and hostile work environment based on race, color and/or national origin at Albertson's Distribution Center in Aurora, Colorado ("Distribution Center"), Civil Action No. 08-cv-00640 LTB-MJW,
1

alleging that Albertson's engaged in a pattern or practice of retaliation at the Distribution Center, and Civil Action No. 08-cv-02424 MSK-CBS, alleging discrimination against Christopher Adams because of his race, all in violation of Sections 703(a) and 704(a) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VII"),
as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e-2(a) and 2000e-3(a). These three civil actions
are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Actions." 2. Christopher Adams, James Baxter, Luis Solis-Gonzalez, James Steadham, and
Nathaniel Valentine have been permitted to intervene in Civil Action No. 06-cv01273 CMA-BNB as plaintiffs. Eric Brooks, Arden Dennis, Luis Solis-Gonzalez, Nathaniel Valentine, James Baxter, Steve Dade and James Hartley have been permitted to intervene in Civil Action No. 08-cv-00640 LTB-MJW as plaintiffs. Christopher Adams has been permitted to intervene in Civil Action No. 06-cv02424 MSK-CBS as a plaintiff. All intervened to pursue their own individual interests (hereinafter the "Intervenors"). 3. Albertson's has answered the civil actions identified above (06-cv-01273 CMABNB, 08-cv-00640 LTB-MJW and 08-cv-02424 MSK-CBS) denying that it has engaged in a pattern or practice of disparate treatment in terms and conditions of employment or hostile work environment based on race, color or national origin, or in a pattern or practice of retaliation, or that it discriminated against or retaliated against any of the Intervenors, and asserting various affirmative defenses to the allegations made by EEOC and the Intervenors.
2

4. EEOC and Albertson's (collectively referred to as the "Parties") now desire to resolve the Actions by entry of this agreed upon Consent Decree ("Consent Decree" or "Decree") by the Court, without modification. Intervenors have each entered into separate settlement agreements with Albertson's which settlement agreements shall be null and void and unenforceable if the Court does not approve this Consent Decree as agreed upon by the Parties as well as other conditions precedent agreed to by Albertson's and Intervenors. Upon approval by the Court, this Decree shall be final and binding on the Parties as to the issues resolved, as well as on their successors and assigns except that the Consent Decree is only binding on a buyer or lessee of the Distribution Center if said buyer or lessee meets the definition of a Covered Buyer (as defined herein).
5. Albertson's denies the allegations made by EEOC and Intervenors and maintains that it did not engage in any unlawful actions based on race, color, or national origin at its Distribution Center and that it did not retaliate against any employee employed there. This agreement is a compromise of disputed claims, entered into to avoid further disruption, costs, delay and expense of protracted litigation, and any payments or undertakings made hereunder are not and should not be construed as an admission of liability on the part of Albertson's. Prior to approving and entering this Consent Decree, the Court has made no findings of fact or conclusions of law as to the merits of any of the Actions.
6. There are a total of 214 Claimants and 168 Eligible Class Members in the Actions, including the nine (9) aforementioned Intervenors.

II. CLOSURE AND/OR SALE OF THE DISTRIBUTION CENTER 7. Albertson's has represented to EEOC that it will cease serving its supermarkets
from the Distribution Center on or about October 25, 2009, and that it will no longer conduct business thereafter at the Distribution Center after final closure is completed. Final closure for all but a skeleton staff is presently scheduled to occur by November 15, 2009. Albertson's has indicated that it has begun marketing the Distribution Center for possible sale or lease to a third party. Albertson's has also represented to EEOC that the closure and any sale or lease of the Distribution Center is based on business considerations and is not related to or the result of the Actions. 8. If Albertson's reopens the Distribution Center and/or opens a distribution center in Colorado during the term of this Decree: (a) Albertson's will send written notice to EEOC of the intent to reopen the Distribution Center and/or open a distribution center in Colorado and the date on which Albertson's expects to recommence operations at the Distribution Center and/or commence operations at a distribution center; and (b) all terms and conditions of this Decree are immediately applicable to all individuals employed to work in, and to all individuals with management and/or Human Resources responsibility for, the reopened Distribution Center and/or the opened distribution center. Any such reopening of the Distribution Center or opening of a distribution center in Colorado by Albertson's shall not cause the term of the Consent Decree to be extended beyond four (4) years after the Effective Date.
4

9. If the Distribution Center is sold or leased during the term of this Decree, Albertson's will promptly send written notice to EEOC of the sale or lease. Such notice will include the following information: (a) the name of the buyer or lessee; (b) the effective date of the sale or lease of the premises; (c) Albertson's position as to whether the buyer or lessee is a Covered Buyer (as defined herein); and (d) whether the buyer or lessee is a Related Entity (as defined herein). Upon reasonable notice, Albertson's will make a copy of the asset purchase agreement or lease agreement available for EEOC's inspection and review at a mutually agreeable time and location in the Denver metropolitan area. Nothing in this paragraph changes or modifies the definition of "Covered Buyer'' as set forth in Paragraph 29.
10. If the Distribution Center is sold or leased to a Covered Buyer who is a Related Entity (as defined herein), all terms and conditions of the Decree will apply to the Covered Buyer. Such sale or lease shall not cause the term of the Consent Decree to be extended beyond four (4) years after the Effective Date.
11. If the Distribution Center is sold or leased to a Covered Buyer who is not a Related Entity (as defined herein), all terms and conditions of this Decree will apply to the Covered Buyer, except: (a) the Term of the Decree shall be two (2) years measured from the date the Covered Buyer takes possession of the Distribution Center; and (b) the provisions requiring a Monitor will not apply.
5

Ill. JURISDICTION 12. The Court has jurisdiction over the Parties and the subject matter of the Actions.
The Actions assert claims that, if proven, would authorize the Court to grant the monetary and equitable relief set forth in this Decree. The Parties agree that the Court has the power to enter this Consent Decree, without modification, and to grant the monetary and equitable relief set forth herein. The Parties further agree that the Consent Decree is final and binding upon them and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Consent Decree is not binding on a buyer or lessee of the Distribution Center unless said buyer or lessee meets the definition of a Covered Buyer (as defined herein) and only to the extent stated herein. The Parties further agree that this Consent Decree conforms with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Title VII, and is not in derogation of the rights and privileges of any party.

Complete Consent Decree - This Decree constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the matters contained herein and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous promises and agreements of any kind regarding settlement of the Actions, as well as all negotiations and discussions between the Parties hereto and/or their respective legal counsel with respect to the subject matters covered herein. No other agreements, covenants, representations or warranties, express or implied, oral or written, have been made by any of the Parties hereto concerning the subject matters contained herein.
36. Severability - If one or more provisions of this Decree are rendered unlawful or
unenforceable by an act of Congress or by a decision of Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals or the United States Supreme Court, the Parties shall attempt to agree upon what amendments to this Decree, if any, are appropriate to effectuate the
11

purposes of this Decree. In any event, the unaffected provisions will remain enforceable. 37. Collective Bargaining Agreement with Teamsters- The parties recognize that Albertson's is party to a collective bargaining agreement (the "CBA") between Albertson's and Teamsters Union Local No. 455 (the "Union") and that Albertson's has certain legal obligations with regard to that CBA and representation of the recognized collective bargaining unit by the Union pursuant to the National Labor Relations Act and the Labor Management Relations Act. 37.1 Conflicts between Decree and CBA -The parties agree that if a conflict
arises between Albertson's obligations under this Consent Decree and its obligations pursuant to the CBA between Albertson's and the Union or Albertson's legal obligations with regard to that CBA and representation of the recognized collective bargaining unit by the Union pursuant to the National Labor Relations Act and the Labor Management Relations Act, Albertson's may file a motion with the Court requesting disposition of the alleged conflict if the Parties are first unable to reach a voluntary informal resolution. 37.2 Requirement of Informal Resolution Efforts
37.2.1 Notice of Conflict- Prior to filing a motion under Paragraph 37.1 above, Albertson's will provide written notice to EEOC of the nature of the alleged conflict. The Notice of Conflict shall specify the nature of the alleged conflict, the particular

37.2.6 Fees and Costs Associated with Informal Resolution- The Parties shall each bear their own attorney's fees and costs associated with informal resolution efforts.
VI. NON-DEROGATION OF EEOC RIGHTS 38. Waiver of Commission Claims - EEOC agrees not to use any charge filed with
EEOC before the Effective Date of this Consent Decree as a jurisdictional prerequisite for filing a lawsuit against Albertson's regarding any claims involving the Distribution Center. Nothing in this Consent Decree shall be construed to preclude EEOC from bringing suit to enforce this Consent Decree in accordance with the provisions of Section X ("Enforcement of Consent Decree") below. 39. EEOC Rights Reserved - The Commission reserves all rights to proceed with respect to matters not covered, waived, and released by this Consent Decree. 40. Charges Filed After the Effective Date- Any individual charges of discrimination filed with EEOC or the Colorado Civil Rights Division after the Effective Date of this Consent Decree, based on conduct alleged to have occurred prior to the Effective Date of this Consent Decree, will be
14

administratively processed by EEOC in accordance with its standard procedures, except that EEOC shall not file a lawsuit nor intervene in any lawsuit based in whole or in part on issues, claims and allegations in any such charges that are based on conduct occurring at the Distribution Center prior to the effective date of this Decree.

In the event of a sale or lease of the Distribution Center to a Covered Buyer, the provisions of this Section VII, Affirmative Relief, shall apply only to a Covered Buyer, shall take effect as of the date the Covered Buyer takes possession of the Distribution Center, and shall be applied to said Covered Buyer for the remainder of the term of the Consent Decree. As provided in Paragraph 11, if the Covered Buyer is not a Related Entity, the term of the Consent Decree will be two years from the date the Covered Buyer takes possession of the Distribution Center and the provisions requiring a Monitor will not apply. 43. Notice and Posting of Decree Notice 43.1 Posting -Albertson's shall post the Notice to Employees, attached hereto

This also means that the work environment should be free from unlawful harassment based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age (over 40), or disability.
Unlawful Retaliation: It is also unlawful to retaliate against any individual because he or she has opposed unlawful discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age (over 40), or disability or has made a charge, testified, assisted or participated in any manner in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing regarding such unlawful discrimination.
Reporting Improper Conduct: If you are aware of any events, conduct, or information, which you believe may indicate some unlawful discrimination, harassment, hostile work environment, or retaliation, it is very important that you report the information so that steps may be taken to investigate and remedy any unlawful discrimination, harassment, hostile work environment, or retaliation which has been found to exist. You may report such matters to:
Reporting to Albertson's: Within the Albertson's organization, you may make such a report to Albertson's Consent Decree Coordinator, your supervisor, superintendent, manager, or a Human Resources professional.

Specifically, the complaint alleged that the defendants maintained a hostile work environment and subjected the complaining parties to other adverse terms and conditions of employment.

The plaintiffs alleged long-term, continuing, and pervasive harassment and discrimination by supervisors and co-workers, including offensive and disparaging racial comments and graffiti, assignment of minorities to harder and less desirable duties, favoring of non-minorities in promotions, disciplining minorities more harshly, and Albertson’s failure to take appropriate, timely, and effective remedial action.

Supervalu, Inc. and Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. were dismissed from the lawsuit in October 2006. The parties engaged in discovery from 2006 through 2009. On December 3, 2007, the Court (Judge Wiley Y. Daniel) granted motions to allow four plaintiff intervenors to intervene, and the four plaintiff intervenors filed complaints that day. 

On April 28, 2008, the parties filed cross motions for summary judgment. The case was reassigned to Judge Christine M. Arguello on October 22, 2008. Proceedings were stayed beginning in February, 2009 pending negotiation and finalization of a consent decree. At the time the consent decree was developed, Albertsons had represented that it planned to close its Colorado distribution center in late fall 2009 for business reasons unrelated to the action.

On December 11, 2009, the parties made a joint motion to consolidate this lawsuit with two other EEOC proceedings involving the Aurora, Colorado Albertson's distribution center. Judge Arguello granted the motion on December 14, 2009, and entered the consent decree that day. The consent decree included provisions against retaliation, a neutral reference for complaining parties, an equal employment opportunity training for supervisory and management employees, and certain terms should Albertson's open or reopen a distribution center in Colorado during the time of the consent decree. The consent decree also provided that Albertson's pay $8,900,000.00 to a class settlement fund to be distributed as determined by the EEOC.

The consent decree remained in effect for four years, and the case is now closed.
