No Valentine’s for Valentino’s
By: Christian Zinn, Fisher & Phillips LLP
The Los Angeles District Office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued Valentino’s Restaurant, located in the Venetian Hotel & Casino alleging that supervisors at the restaurant subjected female hostesses and food servers to sexual harassment that was so intolerable that it caused the constructive discharge of at least two of the women.
The supervisors’ conduct included unwanted sexual touching, sexual propositioning, and derogatory sexual statements about women to customers. The women alleged that the restaurant’s supervisors repeatedly groped and propositioned them and made sexual remarks from 2001 to March 2003. The allegations were ugly and the final outcome was pretty grim for the restaurant.
