LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Lawry's steakhouse chain was sued for allegedly barring men from being servers at its restaurants, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said.
The agency said Tuesday that it filed a sex discrimination suit in federal court in Los Angeles on Friday because Pasadena-based Lawry's Restaurants, Inc., has continued a policy that dates back to 1938 of using only women servers.
Men must make do with lower paying jobs such as busing tables, the commission alleged in the suit, which seeks class-action status.
