The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has filed a lawsuit against Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast Inc. for allegedly violating federal discrimination laws. The lawsuit claims the company excluded male employees from a two-day networking event held at the Mohegan Sun casino in September 2024, which was exclusively for female employees. While Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast maintains the event complied with EEOC regulations and expressed disappointment in the lawsuit, the EEOC asserts that excluding men from an employer-sponsored event is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
