: Washington Labor, Employment & Employee Benefits LawADEA Permits Retaliation Claims Against a Federal Employer
By Donald W. Heyrich
Terry Whitman was employed by the Federal Aviation Administration as a Flight Data Specialist. He sued the FAA for violations of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (???ADEA???), 29 U.S.C. ?? 633a et seq. when it promoted a student intern to a full-time salaried position which he sought, and when it denied his request for an extension of a work detail. Whitman also alleged that his employer retaliated against him when he filed a formal complaint of age discrimination. The Ninth Circuit reversed the district court???s holding that the ADEA does not permit retaliation claims against a federal employer. A link to the article can be found here:
