United States Eighth Circuit

A judgment for the EEOC in its sex discrimination action against a producer of canned meats under Title VII brought on behalf of women who had applied for work but were not hired is affirmed with regard to a denial of judgment as a matter of law for defendant, the trial court's findings of disparate impact, and an award of back pay and benefits to all claimants except one, whose claim is remanded for further proceedings.
