United Air Lines, Inc. v. McMann
Supreme Court of the United States
Decided December 12, 1977No. 76-906PublishedCited by 251 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtChief Justice Burger
The question presented in this case is whether, under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, retirement of an employee over his objection and prior to reaching age 65 is permissible under the provisions of a bona fide retirement plan established by the employer in 1941 and joined by the employee in 1964. We granted certiorari to resolve a conflict between the holdings of the Fifth Circuit in Brennan v. Taft Broadcasting Co., 500 F. 2d 212 (1974), and the Fourth Circuit now before us. See Zinger v. Blanchette, 549 F. 2d 901 (CA3 1977), cert. pending, No. 76-1375.
