This Week's Question
On June 18, 2009, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an important ruling in an age-discrimination case (Gross v. FBL Financial Services, No. 08-441). What did the court say?
A) The court said that under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), employees can establish that unlawful age-discrimination occurred by showing that age was simply a motivating factor in an adverse employment action.
B) The court said that the ADEA does not provide that an employee may establish discrimination by showing that age was simply a motivating factor. The court said that employees have the burden of proving that their age was the 'but-for' cause of the employer’s decision.
C) The court said that workers who are 40 or older cannot sue their employers under the ADEA for disparate-impact discrimination (that is, a policy, while neutral on its face, has a disproportionate negative effect on older workers).
