JOB WANTED - The EEOC and worker-friendly advocates in recent years have increased their focus on employment practices that can cut against older workers applying for jobs, but the Seventh Circuit took a different view Wednesday. As Erin Mulvaney reports, the court rejected claims by lawyer Dale Kleber, 58 at the time he applied for a job as senior counsel at CareFusion. Kleber argued that the company’s seven-year experience cap was discriminatory against older applicants. The appeals court, en banc, found the Age Discrimination in Employment Act protects workers—not applicants—against alleged age bias.
