The New York District Office of the EEOC brought this suit against U.S. Aluminum, Inc., UAW Local 1668, and United States Bronze Powders, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in August 2006. The complaint alleged age discrimination in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The collective bargaining agreement entered into between the defendants reduces severance pay for employees entitled to pensions for each month they are older than 60; employees who are 65 and entitled to a pension are not entitled to receive severance pay. The case was ongoing in the district court as of 4/22/2008. All three defendants have moved for summary judgment, and the EEOC made a cross motion for summary judgment. On 4/22/2008, oral argument for the pending motions was set for 5/9/2008.
