EEOC finds reasonable cause for discrimination claims against Globe Life; company disputes status
GLOBE LIFE INC.
- EEOC found reasonable cause that Globe Life/AIL discriminated on sex (6 complainants) and race (1 complainant), plus pattern-or-practice against female workers of SGA Simon Arias.
- Company disagrees, asserts sales agents are independent contractors not employees under Title VII; courts previously ruled AIL agents independent.
- Three of six complainants’ Title VII claims dismissed with prejudice in private litigation; EEOC may sue if conciliation fails.
- Management does not believe a material loss is reasonably possible or probable at this time.
