Four employees of Sushi Den in Denver, CO have filed Charges of Discrimination with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against the restaurant for sexual harassment and sex discrimination. (Note: The news refers to suing and complaints, but that is somewhat incorrect as this is just an administrative charge and NOT a lawsuit, YET.) Some of the allegations are that male owners and managers told the women they were not as smart as males and lacked the common sense of men. There are also allegations of systemic failure to promote women to management and chef positions and incidents of physical touching and lewd remarks.
Well, shoot, thankfully these women at least have the SMARTS and COMMON SENSE to pursue their claims! That's all I can say. Dang! I have only eaten at this restaurant once, many years ago, but it is supposedly one of the best sushi restaurants in Denver. I did read somewhere, though, that they had ongoing issues with food and safety inspections as well:

It may be be better when you find yourself in the Mile High City to drink your sake somewhere else!
