$15 Million Victory in Circuit City Age Discrimination Suit

December 12, 2008 - The Los Angeles Superior Court approved a settlement of 15 million dollars in our class action age discrimination lawsuit against Circuit City on behalf of 217 former California employees. In March of 2007 Circuit City terminated thousands of workers nationwide because they earned 51 cents or more above the established pay rate, they were then told they could reapply for jobs earning far less. We contended this action discriminated against older employees who tended to be the higher wage earners, a violation of California law.

The women allege that they went in a group to apply to pick grapes, but were told that the business did not want women and that all women are lazy. Although the grower filled approximately 300 positions each year between 1998 and 2002, no women were hired in that time period.
