A San Diego, CA, restaurant chain operator has settled a claim that they hired and harassed young women, including teenagers, and terminated those who objected. This pattern has been going on since 2019. EEOC filed suit in 2023. Consequently, the chain will pay $650,000 to settle the claim rather than enter into litigation. Harassment of minors continues to be a problem in the restaurant industry, it was noted.
