Arbitration clause doesn’t let Hooters off the hook
Thursday, August 26, 2010
Detroit Free Press: A Macomb County (Mich.) judge has ruled a mandatory arbitration clause in Hooters employment contracts does not prevent the company from being sued for discriminating against waitresses based on weight. Judge Peter Maceroni said the two former waitresses who filed the suit “may not have knowingly waived their right to litigate their claims in court should their claim be proven that they were never afforded an opportunity to take the agreement with them to consult with counsel,” according to this report by Cecil Angel.
