AHP Official in Age-Bias Suit Blames Clerical Error
The chairman of American Home Products Corp. testified in an age-bias case that a clerical error was to blame for a policy requiring employees to seek permission if they wanted to keep working after age 65. Jack Stafford, the defense's star witness in the suit brought by a former assistant vice president, said the policy should have been removed when the Age Discrimination in Employment Act took effect in 1979. But it remained on the books for another 14 years.Trial Opens in AHP Age-Bias Suit
The trial of an age discrimination suit against American Home Products began Tuesday in a New Jersey Superior Court, with the plaintiff's lawyer promising to call the company's chief executive officer as a witness to prove there is a from-the-top policy of firing anyone over 65. "All Al Jablonski did was turn 65," said the plaintiff's attorney, Mark Falk, during opening arguments. American Home Products attorney Gregory Craig said Jablonski was let go solely because his position was being eliminated.Trending Stories
