Eighteen former employees of The Dallas Morning News have filed suit in U.S. District Court in Dallas against the newspaper, alleging their 2004 layoffs were the result of age discrimination. The former staffers said they were more than 40 years old when they were laid off. The plaintiffs suggested that 14 of the 18 involved in the suit may have been targeted because they were among a dwindling number of workers in an older pension plan with richer benefits for longtime employees.
