View this case - free  

Overview: When the EEOC sued an employer for injunctive and monetary relief, its summary judgment motion was partially improperly denied on the basis that res judicata did not apply; it served a public interest sufficiently independent of charging parties in a discrimination case to avoid a finding of privity when it sought injunctive and equitable relief.
