Kecha tushdan keyin Manxetten Federal sudida hakamlar hay'ati Starwood mehmonxonasining 3 yoshli novvoyi Moises Mendezga 46 million AQSh dollari miqdorida mukofot berganida, hukm chiqarildi. Ekvadorlik muhojir va Vashington Heightsda yashovchi janob Mendez ish joyida yomon mazaxlar bilan qiynalgan va hatto jismoniy zo'ravonlikka uchraganini da'vo qilgan. U Tayms-skverdagi Westin mehmonxonasidagi ("Vestin mehmonxonasi") Inson resurslari bo'limiga ispan irqi va Ekvador milliy kelib chiqishi sababli mehmonxonada unga nisbatan kamsitish sodir etilgani haqida bir necha bor shikoyat qilgan.
Federal hakamlar hay'atini Starwood Hotels janob Mendezdan noqonuniy ravishda qasos olganini aniqlagan narsa, u yozma shikoyat qilganidan ko'p o'tmay, Westin mehmonxonasi oshxonasidagi ish stantsiyasiga yashirincha yashirin kamera o'rnatishi edi. Hakamlar hay'ati janob Mendezga hissiy iztirob, og'riq va azob-uqubat uchun 1 million AQSh dollari va Starvudni noqonuniy harakatlari uchun jazolash uchun 2 million AQSh dollari miqdorida jarima to'lagan.
Suddan keyin janob Mendez shunday dedi: "Men Amerikaning adolat tizimiga ishonaman va bugun ishga qaytishni sabrsizlik bilan kutaman".
Thompson Wigdor & Gilly LLP hamkori va janob Mendezning sud maslahatchisi Ken Tompson shunday dedi: “Starwood Hotels janob Mendezning kamsitish haqidagi shikoyatlari tufayli undan o‘ch olish uchun uning ish stantsiyasiga yashirin kamera o‘rnatishi g‘alati edi. Bu Amerika. Va umid qilamanki, hakamlar hay'atining ushbu qarori barcha ish beruvchilarga kamsitish haqida shikoyat qilgan xodimlardan o'ch olmasliklarini aniq ko'rsatib beradi.
