Supreme Court Rules For Postal Worker in Age Discrimination Case
- Supreme Court said Tuesday that a major anti-age bias law protects
federal employees who faced retaliation after complaining about
discrimination. The court ruled 6-3 that a U.S. Postal Service employee
may pursue her lawsuit under the Age Discrimination in Employment
Act. The case involves Myrna Gomez-Perez, a postal worker in Puerto
Rico who alleged she was being discriminated against because of
her age. Gomez-Perez, who was then 45, said that after she filed
a complaint with the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission, she
suffered a "series of reprisals" from her supervisors.
