Bipartisan, eh? (Sorry, it’s the first thing I thought of) Welcome back, Kotter Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act Always a bridesmaid, but never a bride, the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act has been considered in both houses of Congress a few times, but never made its way all the way…
You’ll have to pardon the headline. I’m not nearly as articulate as the Third Circuit was in yesterday’s opinion in Karlo v. Pittsburgh Glass Works, LLC, using words like “cognizable” and “disproportionate adverse impact.” And, even though the Third Circuit sits in Philadelphia, you won’t find local lingo like “old…
From a reader who wishes to be identified as “ever faithful blog lover”: A while ago you mentioned ads with “digital native” as being a cover for trying to recruit “young” folks and being an ADEA violation… so what do you think of an ad that says (twice) “Young professionals” wanted?…
Like when referring to the plaintiff (57) and his two co-workers (61 and 67), a boss allegedly remarks, “It’s time you got rid of those old son of a bitches.” Age discrimination, maybe? Hey, before you decide, how about the CEO allegedly saying that the company should have “new blood” and…
Hi there. Did you have a nice weekend? Overall, I did too. However, Saturday was rough. How rough? On a scale of 1-10, it was Chuck E. Cheese. Sunday improved. Mildly. But, now I’m in a coffee shop, sans kids, sans ball pits, costumed rats, and shopping carts. Instead, I’m nicely…

Because, I’m pretty sure that I’ll get my employment-lawyer-blogger card revoked if I don’t offer a self-deprecating blog post about age discrimination on my 40th birthday. But, feel free to raise my spirits by pledging a pair of tickets to the Philly stop of the Guns N’ Roses reunion tour. Oh, God!…
Oh, hi there. Uh, this? It’s not a comic book. It’s a GRAPHIC NOVEL, folks! And, yes, I need to highlight my favorite passages in this library book. It’s how Sartre did it. Quit judging me, would ya? Nothing more to see here. Read on. A week or so ago, Robin…
WWE great The Undertaker is 50 years old. He’s an eight-time Heavyweight Champion. But, his greatest feat is never missing one of my posts his streak of 21 consecutive wins at Wrestlemania. But then, at Wrestlemania XXX, the streak ended. Do you think that The Undertaker’s age motivated the WWE’s decision…
And when the employer practically admits as much at a deposition = hella-stupid retaliation Yet, that’s what apparently happened, as described in the recent Michigan federal court decision in Brown v. Oakland County. Before I discuss that decision, I have a little contest for you. There is a great* employment-law decision involving…
