What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? OH
Company has been doing downsizing for the past 2 + years. No union. Downsizing was done by pick and choose and offering buyouts.
I am 57 years old, just had my 40th anniversary with company. In the past, employers were offered buyouts, then they were simply laid off...permanently. Rumor is another bout of layoffs is coming and that the RULE of 80 is going to be used.
My question is: Being 57 yrs old, can I be forced out of employment due to the RULE of 80? (Meaning when age + years of service = 80), I have a very good and clean work record. Is there any laws for laying off when there is no union involved? Is there any saving grace due to my age.
The past layoffs, approx over 1000 in the past 2 + years, were done by offering buyouts at first, then just laying off. It wasn't always done fairly.
I am very concerned about my job, and after 40 years, and probably being in the top 25 on the seniority list, wonder daily if I am going to be next. Anyone know what the laws are in my situation.
