Overview: Does an employer violate the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) by entering into a collective bargaining agreement providing retiree health benefits only to workers who had reached age 50 by a certain date? The U.S. Supreme Court recently agreed to hear such a case during its 2003-2004 term.
