Employers Must Not Discriminate Against Employees Based on Sex

The EEOC filed a lawsuit against Delaware-based TCI of Alabama, LLC, a recycler of large items such as transformers and electrical equipment, alleging it violated federal employment law by discriminating against female job applicants at its Pell City, Alabama, location. The EEOC charged that since at least August 1, 2020, TCI systematically denied women laborer positions by instructing staffing agencies not to place or refer them. This conduct violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits sex-based discrimination. See EEOC v. TCI of Alabama, LLC, Civil Action No. 4:25-cv-00089-SGC (N.D. Ala.).
