December 15, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 462 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER. The EEOC hereby is ordered to produce documents and other relevant information-- not yet disclosed to the Court concerning the following issues: The EEOC's Outreach to Black and Hispanic Members. In support of its claim o f changed circumstances, the EEOC explains that it "reached out in writing to all Black and Hispanic members of the union" to invite them to share "any information or concerns about any discriminatory conduct" by Local 580 or A JEF. Dkt. 431 at 11. The EEOC asserts that "[t]hese conversations disclosed only a handful of concerns, often unrelated to discrimination." Id. The Court agrees with the Special Master that, in order for the Court to properly weigh the evidence, the EEOC must explain its methodology in selecting interviewees and conducting interviews, list the overall response rate, and disclose the results of the interviews taken including "when the outreach interviews occurred, who was in terviewed, who conducted the interviews, what questions were asked, and what the respondents said." Dkt. 435 at 11.2.Employment Opportunities for Black and Hispanic Members. The Court requires more information in support of the EEOC's cl aim that Defendants are "today committed to providing equal... employment opportunities to Black and Hispanic individuals. "2 Dkt. 431 at 10. In particular, the Court requests the data underlying the EEOC's pre-settlement analysis f or the period of 2009 to 2018 that purportedly uncovered no evidence of discrimination by Local 580. Id. Current Disparities in Hours Worked. The EEOC admits that "some disparities in hours worked by minority and nonminority union members rema in," but maintains that "there is no evidence that these disparities are due to discrimination in referrals made by the union." Id. The EEOC instead attributes the disparities to "differences in the average duration of job assi gnments and the hours worked per unit of time on the job." Id. at 10 n.7. The Court does not accept this explanation at this time, and requires a detailed accounting of the Parties' efforts to achieve proportionate working hours for Black and Hispanic members. The required submissions shall be filed no later than 60 days from the date of this order. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on 12/15/21) (yv)
