Age discrimination

A supervisor claimed he was fired because of his age. A court disagreed. For employers, though, it reinforces the need to properly train supervisors and employees on discrimination as a means of preventing it happening.

Recently, a longtime employee of a local car dealership was terminated, allegedly due to a dispute with a co-worker and a subsequent failure to appear at work, showing once again that employers should be careful in handling employment termination decisions which effect those in a protected class.
