Some age discrimination cases are settled, and some are tried. Either way, they’re dangerous, particularly if the EEOC gets interested. Check out a settlement described on the EEOC’s website. Go to www.eeoc.gov. Type in EEOC v. Sidley Austin next to Search and click Go. It’ll take you to an EEOC press release on this case. This is a case that was hard fought (meaning it cost a lot of money) before a settlement was reached. The amount of the settlement? North of $27 million.
