Scenario

"The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged a Florida store for violating federal law when it gave a Black female employee an unsanitary lactation space based upon her race and failed to promote her based on sex stereotypes about mothers with small children.

The EEOC said it is seeking back pay, compensatory damages, and punitive damages for the former employee, as well as injunctive relief to prevent future discrimination."
