Orlando-based
Darden Restaurants was accused in federal court Monday of firing two
Bahama Breeze workers in retaliation for joining a wage lawsuit.
But U.S. District Judge Robin Rosenbaum in Fort Lauderdale denied an injunction to restore the jobs of Amanda Emerson and Lisa Long at a restaurant in Altamonte Springs because she said the decision was better left to a jury.

Rosenbaum
said she was "troubled" that Darden officials have questioned employees
involved in the lawsuit and told them not to question any of the 54
plaintiffs without notifying lawyers.
The motion was part of a broader lawsuit filed Sept. 6. Workers sued Darden under the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act, alleging restaurant managers delayed servers clocking in on the job, made them work after clocking out and failed to pay them overtime. Darden has denied the allegations.
Named in the complaint are workers from Red Lobster, Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse and other restaurants across the U.S.
