They also allow employees to opt out of working at events where alcohol is offered, and they limit Culture & Cocktails event attendees to two drink vouchers. Guests can buy more drinks if they choose.Gaytan sued the San Diego Museum of Art in July 2021, accusing the nonprofit of sexual harassment, gender and race discrimination, retaliation and wrongful constructive termination, among other complaints.
“Specifically, SDMA hosted events such as the ‘Culture & Cocktails’ and ‘Bloom Bash’ where unlimited alcohol was served to guests,” the suit added. “SDMA expressly and consistently advertised such events for their ‘signature cocktails’, ‘craft beer’ and ‘open bar’.” Employment lawyer Marisol Jimenez, who filed the lawsuit for Gaytan, said she has heard from other workers that conditions at the museum have not improved.
