5. Case study on coca-cola lawsuit
(Re racial discrimination in USA)18 February 2014

6. ISSUE
• In April 1999, a class action lawsuit was filed against the Coca Cola Company by four
current and former African-American employees for racial discrimination under the US
Civil Rights Act.
• The plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and 2200 similarly situated African-American
colleagues, alleged they had suffered discrimination in pay, promotions and performance
evaluations.
• They provided statistics showing that the median salary for African American employees
was about one-third less than that of whites within the company.
• The plaintiffs also claimed that “glass ceiling” and “glass wall” policies kept African-
Americans from rising to top positions and in particular departments within the
company.
• Few African-Americans had advanced to senior levels in the company, compared to the
significant representation of African-Americans among all salaried employees.
• The plaintiffs argued that Coca-Cola failed to prevent and remedy this discrimination.

7. SETTLEMENT
• In 2000, Coca-Cola agreed to a $192 million settlement, the largest settlement ever in a
corporate racial discrimination case.
• In the settlement agreement, Coca-Cola denied the allegations, but agreed to make
sweeping changes to its personnel policies and procedures.
• In addition, the settlement gave an outside panel, jointly selected by Coca-Cola and the
plaintiffs’ lawyers and approved by the court, limited authority to revise the company’s
personnel policy.
• This panel, the Task Force, served as a watchdog for five years and was charged with
evaluating Coca-Cola’s compliance with the terms of the settlement agreement.
• The Task Force issued its final report in December 2006, finding that its “mission has been a
success” and that the company had “made significant progress.”
