A defense contractor is being sued over allegations that it discriminated against older workers in job ads. The federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in Boston accuses RTX Corp. of posting ads that target younger workers at the expense of their older peers.
A major defense contractor was sued Tuesday over allegations that it discriminated against older workers in job ads.
in violation of the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Massachusetts Fair Employment Practices Act, and the Virginia Human Rights Act. “Americans are living and working longer than ever, yet unfair and discriminatory hiring practices are keeping older workers from jobs they’re qualified for,” the AARP Foundation's senior vice president for litigation, William Alvarado Rivera, said in a statement. “Raytheon’s intentional discrimination against experienced job candidates, simply because of their age, is illegal and unacceptable.
The suit, seeking class action status, was filed by the AARP Foundation, Peter Romer-Friedman Law, and Outten & Golden, whose managing partner, Adam Klein, said it should serve as a warning to other big companies engaged in such discrimination.
