Race And Age Discrimination Lawsuit

The U. S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (”EEOC”) announced in an August 18, 2009 Press Release that a Kansas-based staffing company unlawfully discriminated against a 55-year-old Caucasian employee because of her race and age.  According to the EEOC Press Release, the company provides staffing and administrative services to the federal General Services Administration.  As stated in the Press Release, the EEOC charges in a federal lawsuit that the company violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act by subjecting the female employee to discrimination due to her race and age, and then firing her in retaliation for reporting the unlawful conduct.  More specifically, the lawsuit contends that the employee was subjected to differential treatment by her younger African American supervisor and fired one day after making a complaint.  In this regard, an EEOC attorney quoted in the Press Release said that the female, Caucasion employee “was singled out for unfair treatment by her supervisor [and] … fired after reporting discrimination to her employer.”
