The Lawry's chain of high-end steakhouses will pay more than $1 million to settle a federal discrimination lawsuit contending that for decades it hired only women as servers, the government said Monday.
The lawsuit, filed in 2006 by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, said that a company as large as Pasadena-based Lawry's Restaurants Inc. should have known that the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited such a policy.
The case was based on a 2003 complaint by a busboy who said he was denied a higher-paid position as a waiter because of his gender.
The company, which dates its founding to the opening of the Tam O'Shanter Inn in Los Angeles in 1922, said it remedied its policy in 2004 and was glad to resolve the issue.
