Ruby Tuesday Accused of Discrimination By- Nina Bharadwaj: 2nd period

  Ruby Tuesday, in Park City, Utah, has been accused of discrimination due to the fact that they only hired women as bartenders and servers during the summer. A federal lawsuit has been filed against this very popular restaurant chain by the Equal Employment Opportunity in order to prevent any further discrimination.
   This isn't the only instance in which this chain has showed preferential treatment towards women. During the summer of 2013, men weren't hired denying them the right to "earn money, gain valuable experience, and take advantage of free housing during the summer assignment."
  Such an outward portrayal of discrimination is very rare, much like this lawsuit; however, this is a warning to other businesses that once a decision to only hire a specific gender has been made, it is hard to hide behind this choice. The EEOC claims that this restaurant has been guilty of unjust employment practices across the nation.

  Discrimination has had an extremely long history in America, and it has been the most explicit in society when the nation had to deal with segregation amongst blacks and whites in addition to a lack of women's rights. We have taken so many steps to improve social inequality with many new amendments: the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 19th. Although in the 20th century, it took many decades for us to end segregation and to allow blacks to be viewed the same way as any other human being. Currently, women are still looked at in a different perspective than men. Although, they now have voting rights, there are still stereotypical characteristics that one associates with men and women. Discrimination still takes many forms in society, and it will not end until every human being is willing to put the idea of inequality in the past.
