Gramercy Park Hotel Bars Accused of Forcing Only Female Servers to Share Tips in New Suit - Eater NY
"Rose Bar and Jade Bar, located inside the Gramercy Park Hotel, are at the center of a lawsuit accusing management of forcing female servers to share their tips with male staffers, while male employees were not required to share their tips. The lawsuit alleges that female servers had to share up to 45% of their tips, which were distributed among male bartenders and back-of-house employees, and that this practice was justified by claims that female servers 'make too much money.' The lawsuit seeks damages for violating federal minimum wage requirements and the unjust tip-sharing scheme." - Carla Vianna
