Outback Steakhouse To Pay $19 Million For Sex Bias Against Women In 'Glass Ceiling' Suit By EEOC

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today
announced that Outback Steakhouse has agreed to pay $19 million and
furnish significant remedial relief to settle a major class lawsuit
alleging sex discrimination against thousands of women at hundreds of
its corporately-owned restaurants nationwide.

According to the EEOC, Outback discriminated against its female
employees with respect to the terms and conditions of employment, and
denied women equal opportunities for advancement. The EEOC alleged in
the lawsuit that female employees hit a glass ceiling at Outback and
could not get promoted to the higher-level profit-sharing management
positions in the restaurants. Moreover, the EEOC also alleged that
women were denied favorable job assignments, particularly kitchen
management experience, which was required for employees to be
considered for the top management job in the restaurants.
