The Age Discrimination In Employment Act At Thirty: Where It's Been, Where It Is Today, Where It's Going, Howard C. Eglit Jan 1997

The Age Discrimination In Employment Act At Thirty: Where It's Been, Where It Is Today, Where It's Going, Howard C. Eglit

University of Richmond Law Review

Thirty-three years ago, in the course of debating the legislation that eventually was enacted into law as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Congress began-albeit very tentatively-to address age discrimination in the workplace. While it rejected attempts to amend the 1964 bill to include age within the then-pending menu of proscribed bases for workplace decision-making, i.e., race, color, national origin, religion, and sex, Congress did direct the Secretary of Labor to undertake a study to ascertain the nature and extent of age bias in employment and to make recommendations for dealing with this discrimination, if it in fact existed.


Does Pretext Plus Age Equal The Sum Of The Judgement?, Susan Childers North Jan 1997

Does Pretext Plus Age Equal The Sum Of The Judgement?, Susan Childers North

University of Richmond Law Review

In deciding cases under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), several circuit courts of appeals have interpreted the tripartite test set forth in McDonnell Douglas v. Green to mean that a plaintiff could prevail in proving individual disparate treatment by proving a prima facie case and that the employer's proffered reasons were a pretext. The Third, Seventh and Eighth Circuits concluded that a showing that a proffered justification is pretextual is equivalent to a finding that the employer intentionally discriminated. In other words, "the plaintiff is entitled to judgment as a matter of law when, in the third stage …


Adea Doctrinal Impediments To The Fulfillment Of The Wirtz Report Agenda, Michael C. Harper Jan 1997

Adea Doctrinal Impediments To The Fulfillment Of The Wirtz Report Agenda, Michael C. Harper

University of Richmond Law Review

Ideally, this symposium marking the three-decade anniversary of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) would present an opportunity to assess how well the ADEA has achieved its plausible goals. However, I recognize that any definitive assessment of the success of a statute like the ADEA, which requires the modification of the behavior of social actors, must depend on the kind of sophisticated empirical study for which I have neither the time, resources or capability. I also recognize that defending my identification of the goals of the ADEA might itself require an entire essay.


Wards Cove Packing Or Not Wards Cove Packing? That Is Not The Question: Some Thoughts On Impact Analysis Under The Age Discrimination In Employment Act, Mack A. Player Jan 1997

Wards Cove Packing Or Not Wards Cove Packing? That Is Not The Question: Some Thoughts On Impact Analysis Under The Age Discrimination In Employment Act, Mack A. Player

University of Richmond Law Review

Assume two employers, A and B. Each gives a separate objective test to select employees for a particular position. Employer A utilizes a pen-and-paper, multiple choice examination that has questions in three major categories: 1) biology and genetics which includes DNA theory, cloning, etc.; 2) astrophysics, with questions about time, space, light relationships, "black holes," novas, etc. and 3) microprocessor engineering, the internet, silicon chips, and the like.


Organized Labor As Shareholder Activist: Building Coalitions To Promote Worker Capitalism, Marleen A. O'Connor Jan 1997

Organized Labor As Shareholder Activist: Building Coalitions To Promote Worker Capitalism, Marleen A. O'Connor

University of Richmond Law Review

In the past, the traditional question posed by unions was: "which side are you on?"--presenting a clear choice between labor and capital. As membership and bargaining power fall, however, unions are asserting their rights as shareholders to influence corporate decision making outside the conventional labor law framework. Because the National Labor Relations Act does not adequately protect workers' rights, unions have devised innovative methods as shareholders to exercise unprecedented power over managers. In only a few years, labor-shareholders have become highly visible players in the institutional shareholder movement. As a group, labor-shareholders submit one of the largest numbers of shareholder …

Mahoney V. Rfe/Rl: An Unexpected Direction For The Foreign Laws Defense, Thomas Wang Jan 1997

Mahoney V. Rfe/Rl: An Unexpected Direction For The Foreign Laws Defense, Thomas Wang

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

A law is only as good, or as powerful, as its exceptions allow it to be. Unless carefully drawn, an exception intended to avoid unjust or impractical applications of a rule can consume the rule itself. In the case of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and Title VII, which were amended to apply to U.S. citizens working abroad, the "foreign laws defense," as interpreted in Mahoney v. RFE/RL, threatens to defeat the application of the general rule prohibiting discrimination. This Note briefly traces the history of the extraterritorial application of U.S. law and the interests that were served by …

Retirement Incentives In The Twenty First Century: The Move Toward Employer Control Of The Adea, Judith A. Mcmorrow Jan 1997

Retirement Incentives In The Twenty First Century: The Move Toward Employer Control Of The Adea, Judith A. Mcmorrow

University of Richmond Law Review

Retirement has become an increasingly important topic of public policy discussion in the United States, as well as an accepted, and even cherished, goal for many American workers. Consequently, it is not surprising that the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) recognized, somewhat inartfully, the importance of retirement. When originally passed, the ADEA expressly provided an exemption for any bona fide employee benefit plan such as a retirement, pension, or insurance plan, which is not a subterfuge to evade the purposes of the ADEA. In 1986, Congress amended the ADEA to eliminate mandatory retirement, but made clear in its legislative …

Rethinking Independence: The Lack Of An Effective Remedy For Improper For-Cause Removals, Tracey A. Hardin Jan 1997

Rethinking Independence: The Lack Of An Effective Remedy For Improper For-Cause Removals, Tracey A. Hardin

Vanderbilt Law Review

Despite persistent constitutional questions, United States administrative agencies have grown in influence during this century.' Much of this controversy has centered around Congress's ability to control the removal of administrative officials constitutionally. In an effort to retain control of administrative agencies and in recognition of the need to conduct certain adjudicative functions outside the executive's domain, Congress has sought to create some agencies free from presidential influence. In particular, Congress has focused on at- tempting to limit the President's power to remove administrative officials. Although such limitations have always been controversial, the Supreme Court is generally thought to have resolved …
