ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (CBS) -- A group of cocktail servers at a popular Atlantic City casino are considering their legal options after they feel they were unfairly fired because of how they looked in the new "skimpy" uniforms.

The group's union has stated that they will support their claims should they pursue a lawsuit at this point, but the women tell Eyewitness News they are still stunned and not sure what they will do next.

When Resorts Casino opened in 1978, Nancy Schromsky, Terry Bruno and Katherine Felici started their careers there as cocktail servers.

Dennis Gomes recently purchased the casino and since rebranded with a roaring 20s theme, that includes the new flapper outfit for cocktail servers.

The women's union, Unite Here Local 54, says they were among 15 cocktail servers who were let go simply because they did not look good in the new outfits. The women tell Eyewitness News they were required to try them on in a darkened room in front of female managers for a photo shoot where the pictures were evaluated.

"They gave me a uniform that I put on, then they told me I had to take my bra off," said Schromsky.

"There was no posing, I was handed a number and told to stand straight and then stand to the sideways and back (holding the number)," said Felici.

"It was very embarrassing, humiliating," said Bruno. "Then to get fired based on your picture, it's just horrible."

Resorts released a statement that reads in part:

"All cocktail servers were given individual consideration and the selection process was conducted in a fair and objective manner. We empathize with the cocktail servers who lost their jobs and gave them hiring preference in other open positions at the Resorts."

The union says about 50 of 76 cocktail servers were let go in December and younger women were hired.

"He's discriminating against older women," said Felici. "That's basically what it comes down to."

Paul Bishop, a gambler at the Resorts, said he couldn't tell you what the cocktail servers normally wear.

"You're thirsty, they serve you a drink, you're not even looking at the person, you're just gambling," said Bishop.

The union tells Eyewitness News that since the casino was purchased during a foreclosure, the union must renegotiate all of its contracts and the union says the new uniforms are going to be a focus of negotiations.
