Former IBM employees sue over alleged age discrimination

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Four former IBM employees have sued IBM, and they've hired a class-action law firm famous for winning big cases.

They are alleging that IBM engaged in a "massive scheme to cover up discriminatory layoff of over 20,000 older workers in knowing violation of disclosure requirements."

IBM says it isn't worried about the lawsuit. "The plaintiff's theories have been rejected by courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. We are confident that our arbitration clauses are legal and appropriate," an IBM spokesperson tells Business Insider.

The fact that IBM has been laying off thousands of workers for years without disclosing the size of its layoffs, while hiring thousands of others, has been well documented. And allegations that many of the people getting pink slips have been its older workers have also been the source of multiple investigations.
