SECRETARY OF LABOR
DATE: December 13, 1989
IN THE MATTER OF
BONNIE J. PARKHURST,
v.
L. K. COMSTOCK & COMPANY, INC.
BEFORE: THE SECRETARY OF LABOR
This case arises under section 210 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended (ERA), 42 U.S.C. § 5851 (1982). Before me for approval is a settlement agreement, submitted in response to the Secretary's Order of March 3, 1987, entered into by the parties in the case. The terms of the settlement agreement have been carefully reviewed. The settlement appears to encompass the settlement of matters arising under various laws, only one of which is the ERA. As stated in Poulos v. Ambassador Fuel Co. Inc., Case No. 86- [Page 2] CAA-1, Secretary's Order, issued November 2, 1987, slip op. at 2:
I have, therefore, limited my review of the settlement agreement to determining whether the terms thereof are a fair, adequate and reasonable settlement of Complainant's allegation that Respondent violated the ERA. I find the terms of the agreement within the scope of my authority to be fair, adequate and reasonable and I, therefore, approve it. Accordingly, the complaint in this case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. Settlement Agreement, page 5, ¶ 2. SO ORDERED. ELIZABETH DOLE Secretary of Labor Washington, D.C. |
