Hot topics in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• Two ex-waitresses in New York (one pictured above) filed a $15 million sexual-harassment suit against a former employer who insisted on keeping track of the female workers’ weight. Managers at the trendy bar forced the women to regularly get on a scale, with results recorded and tracked on a Web site. “I told them I’m not going to be part of your sick game,” said one waitress, who claims a manager attempted to pick her up to get her on the scale. “I just felt so violated.” California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger probably called the women to show support and tell them they’re hot.
• Cigarette maker Philip Morris is disputing the recent study that showed nicotine levels in cigarettes have risen 10 percent in the last six years. The tobacco company claims the data it provided for the study recorded fluctuations in nicotine levels, but no steady increase. However, they don’t deny the steady and measurable increase in the company’s lies to the public.
