The 2nd Circuit has reinstated an age discrimination lawsuit against the former 2nd Avenue Deli of New York and its owner, filed by a waitress when she was 79 years old. The court found that Diane Kassner can sue the deli and Jacob Lebewohl for "implied claims" of hostile work environment. Kassner claimed that she was told to "drop dead," "retire early," "take off all of that make-up," and "take off your wig" because she was old and because she had filed age discrimination claims with the EEOC.
