CompFox AI Summary
Plaintiff Glenn E. Wilcox sued Valero Refining Company for racial discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, alleging denied promotions and a hostile work environment at its Texas City refinery. Valero sought to compel arbitration based on its 'Dialogue' dispute resolution program, which became effective June 1, 2002. However, Wilcox had filed a discrimination charge with the EEOC on May 28, 2002, before the program's effective date. The court denied Valero's motion, ruling that applying the arbitration program to a claim already initiated before its implementation would be procedurally unconscionable and fundamentally unfair, as it would allow the defendant to change the rules mid-game.
