Gonzalez, et al. v. Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, Inc., et al. Employment Discrimination Case
In April 2005, the Court approved a settlement, valued at approximately $50 million, which required the retail clothing giant Abercrombie & Fitch to provide monetary benefits of $40 million to the class of Latino, African-American, Asian-American, and female applicants and employees who charged the company with discrimination.
The settlement included a six-year period of injunctive relief requiring the company to institute a wide range of policies and programs to promote diversity among its workforce and to prevent discrimination based on race or gender.
