I guess theres no 40 year old drivers in california, or this lawsuit would have already been filed.{link removed}
Here's the website for the lawsuit solicitations regarding drivers over 40 for express delivery companies.
Perhaps Brown Driver is one of the attorneys or a Purple Driver - in any event, I'm sure the reason for this post is to spark interest in lawsuits, and it looks like this website sparks interest.

In our center the older employee was more dependable, more capable of completing their days work and considerably a better employee. No one in management that I know of ever targeted some one because of age. Seems to me you are just trying to convince yourself of something that does not exist.
Your right about that i have seen good people management and union lose their jobs over discrimination claims, ups feels its easier to fire and hope it goes away, but it only helps the filers case because now ups admits the employee did enough to get fired. But thats with any company im sure, people hear lawsuit and they want it to disappear.The reason you don't see the lawsuit in California is because there is no merit to EVER making something like this making enough money to draw in the sleezy lawyers it would take to make it happen.
We all know that if it could happen it would have already happened right here (California). ....that is one of the reasons I am moving outta here!
UPS is extremely sensitive to every type of discrimination there is. If someone starts any type of discrimination - there will be an investigation and the cause will be eliminated. If there is a need, UPS will provide training or additional training for those that need it....no matter the cost.
I don't know about any discussion but I have seen older employees (union) who filed comp and were encouraged to take a disability (amounting to pennies on the dollar and not enough to survive on) and resign.
The company considers older employees a "liability" because they "might" file comp and cost the company money. Never mind the 20+ years of loyal service to the company and the according profits these employees rendered.
It seems I remember a recent U. S. president mandating that age discrimination shall not occur. So what does big business do?.....they disguise under as a resignation. I also believe our beloved Liberty Mutual may be behind some of this.
Makes me proud.

I've never quoted myself....this is kinda fun.
I personally know of 3 cases where the employee was given a percent of disability if they would resign. Liberty Mutual thinks it is cutting it's losses by doing this even if the employee is willing/able to work.
Once again, I suspect our beloved Liberty Mutual is behind some of this and if it can be disquised as a resignation who's to know?
I wish I lived in the fantasy world that some of you all live in.
I personally had a bad back and hip (if I was a driver, I would have been history) but I could still do my job and nobody ever tried to get rid of me because I was too old or had a bad back or a bad hip.
