OK to Favor Older Employees over Younger Ones?
June 04, 2004
On Feb. 24, 2004, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an important decision concerning whether the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) prohibits employers from engaging in "reverse discrimination" by favoring older workers over younger workers. In <i>General Dynamics Land Systems, Inc. v. Cline</i>, the Supreme Court held that the ADEA does not prohibit employers from favoring older employers over younger ones. Because this decision resolves a conflict in various federal circuit courts of appeal, the Supreme Court's opinion eliminates any uncertainty concerning this issue at the federal level.

This is especially true today, as the economy seems to be picking up pace and employers find themselves needing to expand their workforces. Inevitably, some employees will go to work for competitors of their former employers. While employees have the right to seek new and better jobs, the law is equally clear that they may not do so at the expense of their former employer's business interests.
