8:02Now PlayingAn appeals court in New jersey has ruled that Borgata Casino can tell its waitresses that they can be fired if they gain too much weight. If there is a 7% change in a server’s weight they can be terminated. The servers sued saying that this policy contributes to a hostile work environment. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian (The Point), Jaclyn Glenn (JaclynGlenn), and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
Do you think this policy is fair? Should they be allowed to fire these women if they gain weight? Let us know in the comments below.

“A casino can regulate the weight of its cocktail waitresses, but a court should decide if managers erred in how they enforced those standards, the state appeals court ruled Thursday.
The court said the Borgata casino's personal appearance standards are lawful. But it also said part of a lawsuit brought by 21 servers should be returned to a lower court to determine if 11 of the women were subjected to a hostile work environment over enforcement.
The casino says it's pleased that the policy was upheld, noting it was disclosed and agreed to by all female and male "costumed beverage servers" when they were hired as "Borgata Babes."
"We have long held that Borgata's personal appearance policy is fair and reasonable," said Joe Corbo, the casino's vice president and legal counsel. "We are pleased that the three appellate court judges agreed with prior rulings that our policy is lawful and non-discriminatory to women."
