Supreme Court Allows Case Against FedEx
Did you know that the Supreme Court decided that employees who claim job discrimination should not suffer because of mistakes made by the federal agency charged with investigating their allegations. The 7-2 ruling allows an age discrimination lawsuit to proceed against FedEx Corp. The majority opinion by Justice Anthony Kennedy was critical of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which failed to notify FedEx that 14 employees had filed a complaint. Companies must be told about complaints before discrimination lawsuits can be filed. I am surprised to learn that companies are still discriminating according to age. I thought that was pretty much settled and not a problem anymore but guess I was wrong.
