Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Texas
fired for bring overweight
My 20 year old daughter, works in a restaurant known for waitresses wearing skimpy outfits. She was employed there for 15 months. she is 5'10, and weighs 150 #. She was given 2 weeks to lose weight. She put her notice in during this time and was prepared to work out her 2 week notice. After about a week and a half, Her GM, called her in, and told her he had not seen a weight loss, and told her she was not allowed to finish her shifts, and terminated her on the spot. She lost wages, and was burdened financially. She was a good employee, and helped the company with sales production. Does she have any legal recourse?

Re: fired for bring overweight
Probably not..it could be discrimination for sex..ie only women...but call EEOC to see if they would accept a claim..Litigation would be expensive and as a member of AJA,TTLA etc..I know of no one who would take the case
