Court expands age discrimination protections for workers 40 and over
The Supreme Court in a 5-3 decision broadened federal protection, allowing about 75 million workers aged 40 and over to file age bias suits over salary and hiring even without proof of intent. Justice Stevens authored the ruling with Justice O Connor in dissenting on the breadth. Chief Justice Rehnquist did not participate. The case from Jackson Mississippi involved older police officers challenging city practices favoring younger colleagues.
