I applaud her decision to NOT want to wear scanty uniforms, but a lawsuit is the wrong direction. A privately-owned business should be able to make legal changes in how they do business. If she doesn't like the changes, she can leave.
I agree.
Agree completely. We truly have a skewed value system when using the crooked tort system to extract money from an employer is considered a sign of Christian devotion.
I disagree with the “If she didn’t like it she should just leave.” comment on this.
- This isn’t a menu change or a change in clientele. This is a change in a work uniform and her working conditions.
I’m very much for a loser pays situation in civil suits. However in this case, I believe the restaurant is in the wrong.
The right thing to do would be this, let her come as she had as always and let the new hires make the change and any existing employees that wished to as well. If the earnings of one vs the other were superior, equal or less than you could say the market was working itself out.
I for one think any business that doesn’t label itself as “adult” in nature is going to be able to stand in front of a judge or jury, show a velcro mini-skirt with no coverage unless standing wholly upright and claim its perfectly normal as a uniform.
Furthermore they starting cutting her hours seemingly with the uniform issue the primary reason. That alone is retaliatory and that is what gets you nailed in a courtroom.
I agree, I would have quit rather than do it myself, but on the same token changing the work requirements mid stream to a point of basically wearing a bikini to work when you weren’t hired with that requirement is a bit dubious.
Not like there were complaints about here not doing the fundamentals of her job.. just management wanted more skin to attract customers. And when that’s your business model, (a model that is followed by hooters, tilted kilt, and others) its a pretty fair assessment that your food quality is crap, and basically you are enjoying being the strip club for guys whos wives would kill them if they ever went to a real strip club. Pretty damned pathetic.
I really don’t think its insubordination to refuse to let yourself be essentially prostituted out just because management wants to run a strip club, but doesn’t have the permits.
Had she been hired knowing those requirments, that’s one thing, she knew what she was getting into and decided to do it. Not sure where this one is going to fall, but given she’s a waitress, which means its doubtful she had the cash to pay the atty out of pocket, she must have found an atty who believes he has a good shot of winning the case.
That is correct. A lawsuit like this shouldn’t be allowed to continue.
its not a strip club and what that idiot owner did was basically want them to be stripers...
she'd worked there a good amount of time....if the owner wanted to become a strip club then he should have offered a big severance pay up front...
people stand up to evil and pandering and it seems all they get is grief here on FR....which is why the US is not the great and good country it once was...too many iffy Christians and too many anti morality...
