Auto Parts Co. Wants Age Claims Cut From Unpaid Wages Suit
Law360 (January 19, 2021, 8:38 PM EST) An auto parts manufacturer urged a North Carolina federal judge on Tuesday to toss a former employee s age discrimination claims from an unpaid wages class action, saying the former worker had failed to add the claims to the suit fast enough.
In a motion to dismiss, GKN Driveline North America Inc. argued that James Mebane s non-wage claims should not be allowed to move forward with the class allegations. He had not filed them within 90 days of receiving a right to sue letter from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a necessary prerequisite to asserting an Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
