Supreme Court Sides With Workers on Age Discrimination

Posted Jun 19, 08 4:33 PM CDT in Crime & Courts 

(Newser) – The Supreme Court ruled today that it is up to employers in age-discrimination lawsuits to prove that their actions resulted from “reasonable factors other than age,” the New York Times reports. With the opinion making it easier for employees to sue, the court explained to opponents that Congress’ wording of the law “set the balance where it is.”
