Gloria Kendall Leblanc and Helen Jenkins Roig v. Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company, State of Louisiana
Gloria Kendall LeBLANC and Helen Jenkins Roig, Plaintiffs-Appellants-Cross Appellees, v. SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH COMPANY, Defendant-Appellee, State of Louisiana, Defendant-Intervenor-Cross Appellant
Opinion
PER CURIAM:
In this Title VII 1
suit the District Court granted a judgment declaring invalid certain Louisiana protective statutes 2
limiting the hours women may work. The lone tag end of this litigation involves the contention that the District Court erred in not granting back pay to the otherwise successful plaintiffs from the date of their EEOC charges. Congress granted broad discretion to the District Court to fashion remedies in Title VII cases as the equities of the particular case compel.
3
The plaintiffs have not sustained their burden of showing that the District Court abused this discretion in declining to allow back pay for the reasons set forth in its opinion. LeBlanc v. Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Co., E.D.La., 1971, 333 F.Supp. 602, 610-611 .
