U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate ruled in the discrimination case last year. After a trial that lasted nearly a week on the question of damages, jurors decided Wednesday that the women would split $3.3 million for back pay and past and future suffering.
The attorney for Danny's Downtown Cabaret, Bill Walter, said Friday he will ask Wingate to reduce the award. If Wingate disagrees, Walter said he will appeal.The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued Danny's years ago, saying the Jackson club limited when black women could work and fined them $25 if they didn't show up for a shift. The commission said white strippers had flexible schedules at the club and were not subjected to fines for missing work.
It also said a Danny's manager used racial slurs against a black dancer, and Danny's owners forced black women to work at another Jackson club they owned called Black Diamonds, where conditions and security were worse and dancers were paid less. Marsha Rucker, the EEOC's regional attorney in Birmingham, Alabama, said in a statement that the commission"will protect employees in any industry who are subjected to such blatant and repeated discrimination."
"This case shows the EEOC will sue any employer, operating any type of business, who violates federal anti-discrimination laws, especially those who will not stop discriminating even after being given repeated chances to do so," Rucker said."The jury ... sent a powerful message to Danny's and any employer who thinks they are above the law."

Jury awards $2 billion to couple claiming Monsanto’s Roundup gave them cancerBayer was ordered to pay more than $2 billion to a California couple who claimed they got cancer as a result of using Monsanto's Roundup weedkiller for about 30 years. Bayer has now lost three trials in a row over claims that Roundup causes cancer. Got anymore of those pay outs? Bayer BlissTabitha It's time to ban this poison. Bankrupt them. They are willfully killing all the pollinators and thus, humanity itself. They all deserve jail, and frankly, there is no way to adequately punish these people for their crimes. The planet needs them to go bankrupt and end their damages to all on Earth. Monsanto

California is a joke it's truly heartbreaking that these corporations know their products contain carcinogens and yet they still keep operating on like there's nothing wrong.
