Legal Question in Discrimination Law in California
Age discrimination
Recent 17 person reduction in force out of sixty total included the two oldest employees. One shop person at 64 advertised retirement this year and was given early retirement. Myself in Management at 61 gave no indication and received typical two weeks. Both were reduced along with various shop and warehouse persons. No other administration or engineering persons except one voluntary. Company stated due to lack of business and reduced Korea business situation. Recently hired management persons with less experience or capability retained. All 43 retained are ten years younger or more. Can this be considered age discrimination?

age discrimination
this is one of the hardest things to prove. the fact that there was a RIF does not insulate the company from discrimination, however. there are a lot of other factors involved such as reviews, promotion track, the areas of the company that were affected by the RIF and the like. I would be happy to talk to you further about this. You can e-mail me back or phone or fax. Look forward to hearing from youl
