Almost 100,000 discrimination charges were filed with EEOC and state Fair Employment Agencies in the fiscal year 2013 which resulted in more than $300 million in non-litigated awards. According to a study conducted by Seyfarth Shaw LLP law firm, the top 10 private plaintiff employment discrimination class action lawsuits cost employers more than $350 million.
