Four Black employees of an IHOP restaurant in Pompano Beach, Florida, have sued the restaurant chain, its franchisee and a former shift manager, alleging they were subjected to repeated racist harassment and retaliation after complaining about the treatment.
The plaintiffs, servers Margaret Bennett, 45, Stephanie Davis, 51, and Carline Hunter, 49, and cook Jeffrey Wright, 51, accuse former manager Brenda Bertetchuk of creating what their complaint describes as an 'atmosphere of intimidation, ridicule and humiliation'.
