New York City Employment Lawyer

Sally Beauty Supply, a beauty store, recently settled a racial discrimination suit over an incident that occurred in September 2005.  Felicia Spears, an African American potential employee, was told she had been hired by Sally Beauty.  However, right before her first day on the job, the offer was withdrawn.  A district manager for the chain told local staff that Spears could not be hired because of her race.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a lawsuit on Spears’ behalf.  Courts ruled Sally Beauty must pay $30,000 to compensate Spears, must hire Spears within 6 months if she wants a job, and permanently prohibited the district manager from working for the company.
