Hooters employees launch class action suit over uniforms
In California the popular restaurant chain Hooters, renowned for its buxom and scantily clad waitresses is at the center of a class action lawsuit in Sacramento County Superior Court and uniforms are the heart of the matter.
The suit is being brought by five current and former employees of Hooters on behalf of a proposed class of non-manager employees in five Central Valley franchises of the restaurant chain, legally known as Hooters of America, Inc. The claim was filed on March 16, 2010. Officially the case is titled, “Class Action Complaint for Wage and Hour Violations And for Other Claims Seeking Damages Injunctive and Other Relief.” (The text of the claim is available here.)
According to law.com, “the complaint claims the restaurant chain workers were improperly forced to share tips with managers and to buy their own uniforms, among other alleged wage-and-hour violations.”
