Raytheon Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Alleged Age Discrimination

AARP Foundation and law firms accuse defense giant of excluding older job seekers in favor of recent graduates.

The lawsuit claims Raytheon’s job ads deter applicants over 40 by specifying recent graduates or limited work experience.
Plaintiff Mark Goldstein, 67, alleges he was repeatedly rejected despite meeting all other qualifications.
The EEOC previously found Raytheon's hiring practices violated the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
The suit seeks policy changes and compensation for affected workers.
Raytheon denies the allegations, asserting compliance with age discrimination laws.
