Case Summary

In September 2006, the Denver District Office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed this lawsuit against Outback Steakhouse of Florida, OS Restaurant Partners, and OS Restaurant Services (the latter two doing business as Outback Steakhouse) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado alleging discrimination on the basis of gender in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Individual complaining parties intervened in the lawsuit in November 2006,…

Specifically, the plaintiffs alleged that the defendants had discriminated against women employees by failing to hire or promote women to management positions and for failing to offer equal conditions of employment, especially as related to training and opportunities for advancement.

The parties engaged in discovery between 2006 and 2008.

On December 29, 2009, Judge Christine M. Arguello approved of a consent decree granting injunctive relief to the plaintiff. In addition to prohibiting retaliatory treatment towards any employees involved in this lawsuit, the Consent Decree also prohibits Outback from "discriminating against any employee or applicant on the basis of gender, in hiring, promotions, pay, terms and conditions of employment including providing women less favorable job assignments, less training opportunities, less opportunity for advancement, or creating or condoning a gender-based hostile work environment." The same "training and conditions of employment" should be available to all employees, and "scheduling and assignment of work shall be made in an equal and nondiscriminatory manner." The consent decree was scheduled to last four years. As there is no additional noteworthy activity reflected in the docket sheet, presumably the case closed in 2013.
