On Jan. 11, a former waitress at a strip club agreed to a $60,000 settlement on her claim that she was fired because of her age. In 2006, Mary Bassi, then 56, filed a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. She worked at a club owned and operated by W.L. York Inc. She previously had worked at a separate club owned by AHD Houston Inc. She claimed they were a joint enterprise. Bassi alleged that two male managers made disparaging remarks about her age, including telling her she was showing signs of Alzheimer’s disease. She claimed the defendants began scheduling younger waitresses for shifts in place of her, despite her positive work record and lack of disciplinary actions. She was then fired without cause or explanation.
