Update: adult clubs to settle EEOC age-bias suit

“Two Houston adult entertainment clubs this week agreed to settle a federal age discrimination case with a former waitress who alleged younger, male managers called her ‘old’ and said she showed symptoms of memory loss. The owners of Centerfolds and Cover Girls agreed to pay $60,000 to Mary Bassi. She was 56 when she was fired in 2006 ‘without provocation or explanation,’ according to a lawsuit the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed on Bassi’s behalf.” [Houston Chronicle; earlier]

  • The explained why they were letting her go but she forgot.

  • Old ladies stripping are out there. My friend had one on his 21st birthday. The funniest thing ever. In fact, it was in Houston so it may be her.

  • I have had trouble getting a job doing commercials for hair care products. I suspect they are discriminating against me because I’m bald.
