Featured Employment Case

Three employees terminated in reductions in force (RIFs) sued the employer under Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and Title VII. The United States District Court for the District of Arizona, Robert C. Broomfield, J., entered summary judgment for employer. The employees appealed. The Court of Appeals held that: (1) with respect to ADEA disparate treatment claims, employees failed to rebut employer’s proffered nondiscriminatory reasons for terminating them; (2) District Court was not required to allow employees to proceed on disparate treatment claims at summary judgment stage; (3) District Court did not abuse its discretion in denying employees’ motions to amend pleadings to add disparate impact claims; (4) employer did not discriminate against two white male employees on basis of race or sex; (5) District Court did not abuse its discretion in severing three employees’ claims from those of seven coemployees; and (6) District Court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to sanction employer for its delays in producing documents.  Importantly, the Court’s opinion noted as follows: To establish a violation of ADEA under the disparate treatment theory of liability, employees must first establish a prima facie case of discrimination, and, if they do so, the burden then shifts to the employer to articulate a legitimate nondiscriminatory reason for its employment decision. Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967.  Once an employer articulates a legitimate nondiscriminatory reason for its employment decision in an ADEA action, the employees must demonstrate that the employer’s alleged reason is a pretext for another motive which is discriminatory. Despite the burden shifting in an ADEA disparate treatment action, the ultimate burden of proof remains always on the former employees to show that the former employer intentionally discriminated because of their age.  To establish a prima facie ADEA case using circumstantial evidence, employees must demonstrate that they were: (1) members of the protected class, that is, at least age 40; (2) performing their jobs satisfactorily; (3) discharged; and (4) replaced by substantially younger employees with equal or inferior qualifications.Where a discharge results from a general reduction in workforce, discharged employees seeking to make out a prima facie ADEA claim need not show that they were replaced; rather they need show through circumstantial, statistical, or direct evidence that the discharge occurred under circumstances giving rise to an inference of age discrimination. Employees discharged as a result of a general reduction in workforce can establish an inference of age discrimination by showing the employer had a continuing need for their skills and services in that their various duties were still being performed, or by showing that others not in their protected class were treated more favorably. In an ADEA action, a reduction in force (RIF) is a legitimate nondiscriminatory reason for laying off an employee.
