AFRICAN AMERICAN EMPLOYEES ALLEGE RACIAL DISCRIMINATION AT BERKELY, CA RESTAURANT
A $2.1 million settlement was reached in a suit brought by a class of African American restaurant employees and applicants who asserted that the operator of Spenger’s Fresh Fish Grotto excluded African Americans from certain jobs and punished them more severely than other employees. The restaurant was located in Berkeley, California.
The court determined that $1.1 million would be distributed among the plaintiffs. $90,000 was allocated to start an administrative and monitoring fund, and $900,000 would go to attorneys fees.
