Description
This is an age discrimination case involving questions of disparate treatment and disparate impact. When Federal Forge, Inc. learned that former employees of one of its closed plants were demanding seniority pension benefits if they were rehired, it imposed a moratorium on any hiring of those workers. Raymond Abbott and 35 other former employees sued, charging that the moratorium amounted to a refusal to hire on the basis of age, in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), 29 U.S.C. § 621, et seq., because the workers affected by the moratorium included a higher percentage of workers 40 years of age or older than the workers actually hired. Federal Forge was under no legal or contractual obligation to rehire any of these workers. They now appeal the district court's grant of summary judgment for Federal Forge. Because appellants failed to establish a prima facie case of either disparate treatment or disparate impact and because Federal Forge established a legitimate and non-discriminatory reason for the moratorium, we affirm the district court's grant of summary judgment.
