Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Wjhere one plaintiff has filed a timely EEOC complaint, other non-filing plaintiffs may join in the action if their individual claims arise out of similar discriminatory treatment in the same time frame. The rule thereby avoids unnecessary repetition of EEOC filings where the initial complaint went unaddressed. This presupposes, of course, that the subsequent claims are sufficiently similar to the origi nal complaint and the employer received adequate notice and an opportunity for conciliation.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“An untimely plaintiff may join a suit initiated by a plaintiff who has timely filed, if their claims arise out of similar discriminatory treatment in the same time frame. This rule is based on the notion that the policies served by compliance with Title VII’s filing requirements — giving notice to the employer and encouraging conciliation — are not violated if the complaints are sufficiently similar.”
