On October 8, we successfully defeated the attempt by Hott Wings, Inc. and the four Bay Area Hooters franchises to throw out part of the lawsuit. The Court ruled in favor of the 17 women who filed the lawsuit and the class of Hooters employees they seek to represent. The Court specifically rejected the claim that SF Hooters should not remain in the lawsuit.

Hooters Lawsuit Gets Bigger & Stronger – More Employees Join!
On October 23, we filed a Second Amended Complaint (SAC) against the four SF Bay Area Hooters franchises, its parent company Hott Wings, Inc. and six individuals – Nick Trani, Shirley Trani, John Trani, Doug Kappy, Craig Guynes and Don Speckhals. The SAC added two women who formerly worked at the SF Hooters and provides additional details supporting the claims. The lawsuit now has nineteen (19) women who are suing to represent the class of all former and current non-supervisory employees who worked at SF Hooters, Dublin Hooters, Fremont Hooters and Campbell Hooters at any time from May 28, 2005.
