Description
This action, involving alleged sex discrimination in employment because of unwed pregnancy, was brought by Rose M. Jacobs ("Jacobs") against The Martin Sweets Company, Inc., Louisville, Ky. ("Sweets Co." or "Company"), under the provisions of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Act"), Pub. L. No. 88-352, 78 Stat. 253, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. Sweets Co. appeals from that portion of the district court's amended judgment awarding back wages to Jacobs in the sum of $7,500 pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(g).*fn1 Jacobs appeals from that portion of the amended judgment dismissing the class action allegations of her complaint with prejudice. She also asks that the district court's award of attorney's fee be reversed, with certain directions for recomputation. We affirm those portions of the amended judgment pertaining to back wages and the class action issue; the portion pertaining to attorney's fee is modified to the extent that the fee awarded is to be increased by the sum of $1,000 for services rendered on this appeal.
