Allegations are that the real estate magnate cared primarily about a woman's attractiveness, and her professional qualities took second place. Former employees recall Trump directing club managers to fire women who were ‘not pretty enough' to meet his tastes.
"I had witnessed Donald Trump tell managers many times while he was visiting the club that restaurant hostesses were 'not pretty enough' and that they should be fired and replaced with more attractive women," Haley Strozier, a former catering director at the club, said.
Employee accounts indicate that Trump's business strategy was to hire attractive women in order to increase client visits.
"I know this because one time he took me aside and said, ‘I want you to get some good looking hostesses here. People like to see good looking people when they come in,'" according to former restaurant manager Sue Kwiatkowski.
The evidence is contained within a complaint filed against the golf club focusing on the establishment's culture of refusing to give employees the legal amount of breaks and meals per shift.
