Outcome

The court affirmed the district court's judgment in favor of Union Electric Company, holding that the company's group life insurance plan with a 40-year-old age cutoff for new enrollments did not violate the Age Discrimination in Employment Act because all employees had an opportunity to enroll when hired and the plan adhered to sound actuarial principles.
