The lawsuit is an attempt to reopen an issue that was settled 11 years ago in a class action that ended in an agreement that established that the chain’s signature Hooters Girls could continue to be the restaurants’ only food servers.Nikolai Grushevski’s suit recognizes this earlier agreement, disputes it and invites other men to join him in seeking another class action. He asserts in the suit that when he applied to be a waiter at the local restaurant in May 2008 he was not hired because of his gender.The suit claims that even though food servers are referred to exclusively as “Hooters Girls,” the job should not be limited only to women.“Just as Southwest Airlines attempted nearly three decades ago with... | |
