EEOC Collects on $471,000 Jury Award after Winning Appeal from Waterproofing Company  In Sex Harassment Case

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced today that Everdry Marketing and Management has paid $471,096 in damages, plus $86,581 in post-judgment interest, to 13 victims of sexual harassment.  The payout satisfies a judgment obtained by EEOC against Everdry in October 2006 following a four-week trial in Rochester, N.Y. (case # 01-CV-6329).  The individual payouts range from about $24,000 to $56,000, including the interest, which covers the time the women had to wait to receive their jury awards.  Everdry was required to pay the substantial interest after the ultimate resolution of the case was delayed by an appeal Everdry filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit challenging various aspects of the jury's verdict and other district court rulings.  The Court of Appeals affirmed the jury's verdict and award of damages.
