Houston-based Luby’s operates 128 restaurants in five states with several locations in San Antonio and throughout Texas.
The EEOC’s suit (Civil Action No.SA-08-CA-0794-FB), filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division, charged Luby’s with subjecting female employees, including a teenager, to a sexually hostile work environment at its Floyd Curl Ave., San Antonio location.
