Atlantic City Hotel Accused of Discrimination Over Skimpy Uniforms

An Atlantic City hotel has been accused of firing 16 employees over the way they looked in the casino's skimpy new uniforms. The women -- who are in their 40s, 50s and 60s and are long-time employees of Resorts Casino Hotel -- were told to go into a room and try on the new flapper-style uniforms so they could be photographed. Nancy Schromsky, one of the fired waitresses, said that the uniforms were strewn on the floor and were all sizes two and four. A modeling agency representing the casino later told the 16 they were fired. Union officials said the hotel was attempting to remove middle-aged waitresses in an effort to attract a younger clientele. The hotel insisted it was acting in a "fair and objective" fashion.
