In September 2011, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

According to the EEOC, Goodwill fired a 13-year employee following
her testimony—adverse to the company—in another
employee's sex and age bias action. In addition to the $100K
payment to the employee, Goodwill is entering into a consent decree
that provides for injunctive relief including employee training,
revision and distribution of anti-discrimination policies and
certain employee notifications.
