1Opinion of the Court

Sweeney, A.C.J.

Twelve former employees of Phillips Petroleum Company brought suit against Phillips, alleging one Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) cause of action, six state law causes of action, and a claim of age discrimination. The court dismissed two causes of action preempted by ERISA, but denied Phillips' motion to dismiss the age discrimination claim and the remaining five state law causes of action. Phillips appeals the court's decision denying its motion to dismiss the state law causes of action. We affirm.
