Let’s Just Wait and See What Happens
Three plaintiffs who sued Waffle House, Inc. and its Texarkana, Texas franchisee for alleged racial discrimination have agreed with the defendants to stay their action until other similar cases are decided. A motion filed in Texarkana Federal Court stated: “. . . certain representatives of the plaintiffs in various actions have mediated with representatives of the franchise affiliate defendants in these multiple actions and have agreed to a framework for a comprehensive resolution of the cases.” Who says lawyers bloviate? Waffle House has denied the discrimination allegations of discrimination and stated that its anti-discrimination policies, training on and enforcement of these policies are top corporate priorities.
