Northshore Mining Co. Agrees to Settle Gender Discrimination Class Action on $1.3 Million
A gender discrimination class-action lawsuit which was brought by present and former women employees of Northshore Mining Co. in U.S. District Court in December 1999 against the company, was agreed to be settled on $1.3 million.
U.S. District Judge Michael Davis certified it as class action in September 2003 to include 38 other current and former women employees of the mining company.
Northshore Mining has also agreed to appoint an anti-discrimination officer and to modify certain policies and practices related to promotions, training and job assignments to ensure that female employees are treated equitably.
Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., which manages and wholly owns Northshore Mining Co., manages and holds ownership in six North American iron ore mines. Northshore Mining is Northeastern Minnesota’s only non-union taconite operation.
