The EEOC just struck a blow on behalf of over-40 female employees across the country. RCH Colorado, owner and operator of the Reserve Casino Hotel, a prominent hotel and casino in Central City, CO, will pay $250,000 to settle an age and sex discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
EEOC’s lawsuit charged that RCH Colorado, formerly known as Luna Gaming Central City, bought the casino, formerly known as the Fortune Valley Hotel and Casino, in January 2011, and violated federal law by choosing to hire younger candidates over older candidates and male candidates over female candidates with equal or greater qualifications.
