ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- The battle over bulge continues at an Atlantic City casino.
The "Borgata Babes" aren't getting a break on their weight. The Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa in Atlantic City, N.J., won't budge on its new weight requirements.
The Borgata has rejected a union grievance challenging the casino's imposition of weight limits on cocktail servers -- known as "Borgata Babes" -- and costumed bartenders. It said they are performers whose personal appearance and grooming are a key part of Borgata's image.
The babes have to squeeze into skimpy costumes.
Last month casino officials announced that the Borgata Babes and bartenders would have to weigh-in. Anyone who gained more than 7 percent of their body weight would be subject to suspension or firing.
But Local 54 of the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees union, which represents the cocktail servers and the bartenders, quickly contested the policy. They said it violates the casino's contract with the union by imposing a unilateral change in working conditions.
Officials of the waitress and bartenders union said they'll now take the weighty issue to arbitration.
Freddy wasn't just gay. He was multi-sexual. He said himself he would screw anything that would let him. Nice, huh? But the guy could sing like no one I have ever heard.
I guess that gives new meaning to that song,"Don't stop me now," or something along that line. Someone should have stopped Freddy.
Don't stop me now
I'm having such a good time
I'm having a Ball
Don't stop me now
If you want to have a good time
Just give me a call
They knew the deal when they got hired, so there should be no recourse to get out of shape.
They have the option of leaving anytime.
Yep. Of course.
It's amazing how utterly simple it is...
I really think they were told about weight when they were hired. Granted nobody stays 24 forever, but they knew the deal when they took the gig.
They got great tips for a time, and now they can eat and be lane hostesses at te local bowling allies.
they look fine from here.
