Court Blocks Age Bias Suits by the Young By GINA HOLLAND
The Supreme Court ruled in a case brought by about 200 General Dynamics Corp. workers who claimed they suffered a type of reverse discrimination because they were too young to get benefits being offered to colleagues age 50 and over.
The workers, all in their 40s, sued General Dynamics when it changed its retirement benefits in 1997. Until then, longtime company employees could retire and receive full health benefits. Under the new union contract at plants in Lima, Ohio, and Scranton, Pa., only longtime workers 50 or older could receive full health benefits after retirement.------------------------------------------- posted 5:18 AM :: reference link ::
