The Miami District Office filed this action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida. The Defendant was TSSO, Inc., otherwise known as Applebee's, a nationwide restaurant chain. It was charged with discriminating on the basis of race (black) by failing to hire the complainant and other similarly situated people as servers. The action was filed in December of 1999 and lasted until August of 2001, when it was resolved by a consent decree. The complainants never intervened in the action. One complainant was awarded $90,000, and another $5,000. The injunctive relief included a training program for all employees, changes to the company's hiring process, and posting a Notice.
