Last Friday, an Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) plaintiff
seeking to represent a class of AT&T workers impacted by the copmany's purported policy of replacing older workers with younger ones, fought
the wireless carrier's partial motion to dismiss. The opposition says
that dismissal is premature in view of the affirmative defenses AT&T
has raised and otherwise unwarranted.
In 2020, AT&T moved to compel arbitration in the Philadelphia, Penn
case. Interpreting multiple contracts, the district court, and
subsequently the Third Circuit, decided which was the applicable
employment agreement. AT&T lost the argument, thereby depriving the
company of its right to push for arbitration on a contractual basis.
