Description
This Title VII case arose out of Safeway, Inc.s closure of its "pre-pakt" plant in Denver, Colorado. Plaintiffs/cross-appellants, long-term female employees at the pre-pakt plant, alleged that they were discriminated against on the basis of sex when they were laid off and not rehired when the plant closed in June, 1984. The case was bifurcated and the issue of liability was tried to the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The court found that Safeway had not engaged in disparate treatment of plaintiffs but did conclude that Safeway had a policy which had a disparate impact based on sex. Pursuant to a subsequent court order, Safeway reinstated plaintiffs commencing August 7, 1988. After awarding attorneys fees and costs against Safeway, the court entered judgment for plaintiffs in the total amount of $612,569.10, plus post-judgment interest. Additionally, the court ordered Safeway to pay $17,633.25 to six of the plaintiffs pension plans. Safeway appeals the finding of disparate impact and plaintiffs cross-appeal the finding of no disparate treatment. We affirm the finding of no disparate treatment and reverse the finding of disparate impact.
