Court rules for older federal workers
Lawyer Blogs
The Supreme Court says a major anti-age bias law protects federal employees who faced retaliation after complaining about discrimination.
The court ruled Tuesday 6-3 that a U.S. Postal Service employee may pursue her lawsuit under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
The law does specifically bars reprisals against private sector employees who complain about discrimination. But it is silent as to federal workers. Justice Samuel Alito said in the ruling that the law indeed does apply to both categories of employees.
