Question

The Eating Club, a five-star restaurant, advertises a job in the local newspaper as "Waiters needed. Experience required. Must look good in tuxedo." Ella has had experience working for a five-star restaurant and believes that she will look good in a tuxedo. However, when she applies for the job, she is rejected. Which of the following is true in this scenario?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ella can sue The Eating Club since their advertisement contains language that could indicate a preference based on sex, which is a violation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act. The law prohibits employment discrimination based on gender, race, color, age, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, disability, political beliefs, and marital or familial status.
