After an investigation, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has decided not to pursue a federal discrimination lawsuit against Gerry Lane Enterprises, according to the Vice President Eric Lane. Several employees had alleged harassment and racial discrimination. The EEOC’s decision does not necessarily mean the nine plaintiffs will not pursue their suits against Gerry Lane, only that they would do so without EEOC support. Joseph Long, an attorney who represents current and former employees in a state suit against Gerry Lane, could not immediately be reached for comment.
