Age Discrimination Lawsuits
Age discrimination in the workplace is an issue that is increasing in today’s workforce.
The aging population is growing, and many organizations tend to emphasis on having younger
people in employment since they are more energetic, flexible, and creative. However, although
these are some of the lucrative factors that tend to influence employers to discriminate older
workers, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) requires fair treatment for all
employees. Based on the federal laws on equality, employer’s activities like layoffs where
discriminative factors related to age are put into consideration is an aspect that is prohibited.
The equality rights are enforced in the case, Braden v. Lockheed Martin Corporation
(2017) where the plaintiff, Robert Braden, sued his employer Lockheed Martin Corporation for
unfair termination. The plaintiff had worked for the company for at most 28 years, and through
his hard work, he had attained the position of a project specialist. In a 2012 layoff, Braden was
not left out whereby he was fired at 66 years. In a company unit where the members held the
same title as Braden, he was the only individual fired since he was the oldest. Still, the company
terminated five more employees of at least 50 years. Generally, the plaintiff had observed that
the company had an age discriminatory culture. In this case, supervisors often gave older
workers poor reviews when compared with younger employees to get proof for their termination.
The supervisors further claimed that he was a problematic employee and that he could not handle
a heavy workload.
Overall, based on the federal laws under the Age Discrimination Employment Act (1967)
enforced by EOCC, employees from the age of forty years and above are protected from age

discrimination. Therefore, employers who fail to provide justifiable facts for hiring employees
like Braden are subject to experiencing huge punitive charges for failing to protect the rights of
older employees in the workplace. As seen in the case, although the defendant denied the
allegations, the findings from the court led to the ruling that the organization had defied equal
employment laws enforced by the EOCC. The court disregarded claims that Braden had poor
performance. Hence, for punitive damages, the organization had to pay the plaintiff 50 million
dollars. He was also awarded $520,000 as compensation for emotional distress and lost benefits
and salary.
In conclusion, although the percentage of the older workers in employment is increasing
by the day, employers are required to treat all workers equally mostly during layoff activities.
Other reasonable factors should be considered when there is a massive cut down of employees.
However, age should not be among the factors since the Age Discrimination Employment Act
(ADEA) expects employees’ rights in the workplace to be enforced to the later.

Abstract
A good abstract summarizes the key points of your paper without providing unnecessary detail.
The APA style guide has a specific format for abstract pages, so you should be aware of this
format if you are writing an APA paper. Since your abstract is a summary of your paper’s
contents, you should write it once the contents of your paper are finalized. To reflect the fact
that it is a summary, your abstract should use present tense when referring to the results and
conclusions. Use past tense when referring to methods taken. Do not use future tense.
Moreover, there are other details to keep in mind concerning how to write an effective abstract.
Here’s what you should know. The Abstract summarizes, usually in one paragraph, the overall
purpose of the study and the research problem(s) you investigated; major findings as a result of
your research and should be 150-250 words.
