The Action was filed by individuals who allege that McCormick & Schmick's has discriminated against African Americans in its hiring, job assignment, and compensation practices. Plaintiffs brought their claims under Title VII, Section 1981 and California's FEHA on behalf of themselves and classes of McCormick & Schmick's African American employees. McCormick & Schmick's denies Plaintiffs' claims, and contends that it has hired African Americans in all positions in excess of availability in the workforce, and that it has paid African American employees on the same basis as it has paid all other employees. The Court has not made any findings regarding liability or damages, nor expressed any opinion on the merits of the case, nor is the proposed settlement an admission of any liability or damages.
