Claim Types
Outcome
The EEOC prevailed on age discrimination claims under the ADEA. A jury found that United Air Lines willfully violated the ADEA through its mandatory retirement policy and awarded damages to both claimants. The court upheld the verdict with modifications to offset only pension benefits, not unemployment compensation, and established a new retirement date for one claimant.
