A sex discrimination "glass ceiling" lawsuit against Outback Steakhouse has settled for $19 million. The suit claimed that women were denied fair opportunities to advance into management positions. The money damages will be distributed through a claims process in which an administrator will write all female employees of corporate-owned Outback restaurants from 2002 to the present that have worked at least three years.
