Hooters Women

Texas Roadhouse has over 500 restaurants in 49 states so the strategies of compliance and inclusion needs to roll out nationwide. The first strategy would ensure a buy in at the senior management level, hopefully leading to a recognition that Texas Roadhouse did in fact discriminate against older workers. That in order to change our Business culture the firm establishes a new division for diversity and Inclusion with enough resources and authority to provide diligent effort to ensure compliance. A senior management level debriefing would include a discussion on the amount of money spent on litigation, lobbying to fight the lawsuit and whether simple compliance efforts would have been a wiser investment. At some level for senior management

In “Great Expectations”, Pat Mora makes the statement, “We often are too busy playing the game of Great Expectations”.(Mora,162) Oftentimes, a woman is put up with having the greatest of expectations from the outside appearance. When one thinks of “ideal” or “beautiful” the women that work at the restaurant, ‘Hooters’ may come to mind. Hooters is known to having attractive women serve food with form fitting clothes on. The slogan for the restaurant is, “At Hooters, you'll find craveable food and wings, cold beer, sports, and of course, Hooters Girls.” The women that work there are automatically stereotyped as proven in their slogan as being “Hooters girls”. When one thinks of women, they are often categorized into either skinny, fat,

I believe that George and Mary do have a valid case to file against the Don's fast food restaurant.  There is a reason that Don’s restaurant is providing burgers and food for the high schools locality which has been contracted with the school authorities. From the results of the health department’s survey showing that the food from Don’s is causing the children to develop high cholesterol and obesity, with George and Mary’s son being one of those children. There are many legal arguments which can help in the favor of the plaintiff’s case.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: Sheila White interviewed with Marvin Brown and obtained a job as a “track laborer” with Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Company. Shortly after her hire date, however, she assumed forklift operator duties. This new assignment still fell under the “track laborer” position description, and White occasionally performed those duties although her primary responsibility was operating the forklift. Three months into her new job, White complained to the company that her immediate supervisor was sexually harassing her on the job. He was temporarily suspended and required to attend sexual harassment training. White was then informed that she was being reassigned to track labor duties only. White

My recommendations to Hy-Vee Inc. would be to have managers reiterate the aspects of diversity to their departments because I have seen firsthand that it is an effective approach. Also, to have annual store meetings to just keep everyone up to date on the policies including discrimination amongst other aspects of company policy. From the response of Rachel it seems that herself and management staff are taking appropriate and effective approaches to prevent discrimination in the workplace. It’s also very important for Hy-Vee Inc. and their store managers to understand that it only takes one person to discriminate and that can ruin the image of the store and company.

The example of hiring only women as servers could arguably violate the best-known employment anti-discrimination law found in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In summary, Section 703 of the Act mentions, it shall be unlawful employment practice for an employer to refuse to hire an individual based on sex. Hooters is a prime example of a franchise that has found loop holes in discrimination law. From the perspective of Hooters they are in the business of entertaining and their brand relies on having attractive women “entertain” their guests. This is a gray area and ethically speaking, I would pass on going into Hooters, because in my opinion, this is an act of discrimination. Regardless of my opinion, Hooters continues to hire only women and uses BFOQ as a defense. A BFOQ is deemed to a specific job and “reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the business,” and is determined on a

The United States Supreme Court, as well as federal district and state courts, defines employee rights and an employer’s liability for employment law violations. Treatment on the job, including hiring, firing, and promotions, must be based on qualifications and merit and not on race, gender, age, sexual preference or how one responds to sexual advances. Yet despite these laws and policies, many employees continue to suffer from workplace harassment and employment discrimination.

Hooters’ ADR agreement states that the company has the right to change the rules and procedures at any time – even while in the midst of an arbitration proceeding – without notice. In addition, the rules require employees to disclose their cases to the company, along with a list of witnesses and a record of facts known to each witness. Hooters, meanwhile, is not required to reciprocate by disclosing the details of its defense. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit summed it up by stating that the Hooters rules are “so one-sided that their only

Over the years the national chain restaurant Hooters has had lawsuits brought against them for discrimination based on gender. Currently, the issue is weight discrimination. Not just one lawsuit, but two, and maybe three lawsuits may be filed. The waitresses claim that they lost their jobs because they weighed too much. They were put on a 30-day weight probation and offered gym memberships. The ethical issue here is the fact the company practices such discrimination and justifies their actions by claiming that the waitresses are entertainers. Not to mention, the waitress in question weighed 13 pounds less than when she was hires in 2008. Unfortunately for Hooters the Michigan Elliott-Larsen Civil

According to the article, a fast-food worker was disciplined for poor pickle placement. An employee was fired because the pickles were arranged in a triangle and not in a square on the patty. The case according to the article was that of an administrative law judge who considered the suspension and termination of an employee who worked part time for a labor union and had previously struck other fast food establishments over raising the minimum wage. The judge concluded that the employee's suspension was discriminated against her for engaging in protected union activity. Even though the defendant admitted that she did not put pickles on her sandwiches in perfect squares as she was required, because of the written warning she received. The company

The waitresses are expected to wear tiny orange nylon shorts, pantyhose and a white tank top with “Hootie the Owl” logo on it. The two former Hooter waitresses claimed that they were discriminated against and wrongfully fired due to their weight. Both women were healthy and within normal weight limits for their height, but Hooters placed them on “weight probation” for 30 days. Hooters is claiming BFOQ because according to them wait staff image is essential when attempting to attract a particular type of customer. Although Hooters advertises its restaurants as family friendly, there is no denying that they use sex appeal to entice customer patronage.
