About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)

The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

Synopsis: The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit against Boeing in 2003 on behalf of Kelley Miles, a female mechanic at Boeing's Apache helicopter plant in Mesa, Ariz. The suit alleged that Miles had been the subject of repeated sexual harassment by male co-workers from 1998 to 2001 and that Boeing did not adequately respond to her complaints. In February 2010, Boeing, which did not admit that it violated any federal, state, or local law or had any civil liability, agreed to pay Miles $100,000.
