Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Boeing Services International, A/K/A Boeing Aerospace Operations, Inc.
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided August 19, 1992No. 91-2882PublishedCited by 15 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
GOLDBERG, Circuit Judge:
The psalmist wrote: “Cast me not off in the time of old age.” Psalms 71:9. Congress seemingly acknowledged this ancient supplication in 1967 when it enacted the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. 29 U.S.C. §§ 621-634. Congress intended the Act to eradicate arbitrary age discrimination in employment, 29 U.S.C. § 621(b), and thus prohibited discrimination against persons forty years of age and older in the workplace based on their age. 29 U.S.C. §§ 623(a), 631(a); see Thornbrough v. Columbus and Greenville R.R. Co., 760 F.2d 633, 637 (5th Cir.1985).
