    Default Age Discrimination Against Older Workers

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Federal / PA.

    Still at it, issues are heating up ...point me in good direction as to just when issues of age discrimination under ADEA STOP in context of hyper convoluted employer incentive directed at just those ages 56 plus to depart , from vantage point of being 70 +
    Simplified :
    Incentive is in table in Jan for about 2 days to retire in future by 1 Nov and if and only if one is 56 by Sept 30 . And a quota of 50 signals irrevocable intention to retire in those 2 days and the deal is approved by employer and union ..quota is met , union approves, management unilaterally changes the deal and approves its own version .

    Everyone is now retired , all in the same closed pool of 50 or so old workers

    Those 56-70 start getting say $ 1500 per month beginning 1 Nov , ongoing , drop off as they turn 70 ( Not the question)

    Overall Contract runs thru May 2017 ( Whether anyone can be cut off at end of contract is not the question )

    Those 70 + already get mere $ 3000 lump . I'm over 70, deal forgets to say when I get paid a lump sum . People balk.....finally those over 70 get paid lesser amount due to age about 5 months later, well into NEXT year!

    The payout scheme for about 47 others all retired under same deal is ongoing and no,correction for disparate treatment by age

    Does the age related discriminatory treatment STOP early the next year when all those over 70 do get paid ?

    Or is it ONGOING as those 47 or so younger pool members merely over 56 are continued to be paid far better ..at least for now, than similarity situated persons merely 70+

    Or some other date?

    Somebody had to stay up nights to dream up one this convoluted?

    Are you speaking exclusively of different retirement benefits to different groups of retired, former employees? That is to say, your question has absolutely nothing to do with the employer's decisions relating to the hiring, firing, or compensation of current employees?

    Are you asking about a change in the benefits extended to employees who have already retired?

    No this is a one offer of different future benefits Less for older workers 70+'than for those 56-70', all of whom were then currently employed and all of,who share common characterist of retirement pool.

    - - - Updated - - -

    In context, this has everything to do with employer or union retention or compensation of current employees. In short, either the union offer up 50 current employees based only on age 56+ , to exit , or employer would immediately begin to exit employees based solely on inverse order of seniority .

    The word employer means to include labor organization .

    The inclusion of union on age discrimination issues under state law is very broad ..."any other matter , directly or indirectly, related to employment .."

    And they all retired AFTER the no furlough deal was solidly in place .

    And he's been whining about it for, what, about three years now?

    I keep telling him to talk to a lawyer about it but he'd rather whine on the boards.

    Unfortunately, it's not confined to the other board.

    If he's been raising the issue for three years, I have to say that I would have hoped that by now we would be seeing a more intelligible question.

    If all of the employees are now retired, they're not current employees.

    If all of the employees at issue are current employees, then no one is "now retired".

    If we're talking about a retirement deal that was negotiated and fully implemented three or more years ago, with no prior legal action or EEOC complaint, it's difficult to see how a present effort to make a legal claim would not be time-barred.
