Boeing and its older workers

Unfortunately age discrimination cases are often in the news these days but it is not so often that we read a really thorough review of the history and issues at stake. From the US, this article in Crosscut by Marissa Luck, provides a comprehensive summary of a variety of age discrimination claims (historical, pending and forthcoming) between Boeing and either groups of older workers or individuals.  While quite different from the processes within the UK, this serves as a very useful overview of the issues at stake in age discrimination legislation in the US.
