Description

A salaried plant manager in the metal casting industry was terminated in June 2026 after approximately one year of employment, despite receiving an excellent recent performance review and no prior disciplinary action. The claimant alleges age discrimination based on documented communications from foreign ownership expressing a preference for a younger workforce, and contends the termination was pretextual—particularly given that the company's president was also terminated shortly thereafter and the claimant was required to sign an NDA without knowledge of the discriminatory statements that would later come to light.
