Michigan Aerospace Parts Provider to Pay $60K to Settle Age Discrimination Suit February 24, 2021
A Michigan-based aerospace components manufacturer will pay $60,000 and provide other relief to settle a federal age discrimination lawsuit, officials say.
According to the lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), United Precision Products Co. Inc., based in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, violated federal law by refusing to hire an applicant because of his age.
The then-64-year-old applicant applied through a staffing agency to be a machine operator. During a pre-employment interview, United Precision Products’ plant supervisor asked for the applicant’s age, date of high school graduation and driver’s license. Later, the plant supervisor told the staffing agency that the company was not going to hire the applicant because he did not have the desire for the job, the EEOC said.
