Strip Club Age Discrimination



(Houston, Texas) A worker in the adult entertainment business, Mary Bassi, was fired at age 56 after management started hiring younger women.

Consequently, she filed an age discrimination lawsuit against her bosses, claiming she was called "old" and harassed about going through menopause and having Alzheimer's disease.

Bassi, now 60, settled with the Houston-area club for the $60,000 figure after the club believed it was in violation of Equal Employment Opportunity Commission bylaws.

Bassi’s attorney said she was fired without any disciplinary warnings or action on her record.

So, strip clubs can get into trouble not only for hiring females who are too young, but also for firing females who are believed to be too old.
