Lawsuit game

In class of HR, we played a virtual lawsuit, in which the two topics about employment of discrimination. First case was that a young woman applied a job of waitress at a restaurant, but the restaurant recruits only for men for the position of waiter because the restaurant's concept was the western cowboy, and those cowboys present a cowboy show at the restaurant. However, the young girl sue the restaurant because of gender discrimination. Her claim was that the restaurant rejected because she was woman. On the other hand, the restaurant's claim was that only trained male actor is needed. Our argument was very exciting in class.

Another case was that a religious man kept wearing a hat during working our in the restaurant. A customer started complaining it, and the restaurant asked the employee to take off the hat during working, but he rejected. Because of the reason, the restaurant fired him. The fired man sued the restaurant. This is also a typical lawsuit about employment in the U.S.

Yet, it is difficult to see this kind of lawsuits in Japan.
