Is anyone else experiencing age discrimination regarding their Pension Plan? After changing jobs to my new employer 6 year ago, I have been involved in high risk & high visibility positions that were successfully executed, resulting in large salary increases. Last year, due to cost cutting activities, I was told that my position was being terminated. This year I was refused any COLA increase due to my high salary level. I was also advised that the company was trying to eliminate older high salaried workers to minimize benefits payouts at retirement. The personnel manager has indicated that I should not expect any futher salary increases and possibly a reduction in salary. Bottom line advice was that due to my experience I could probably get a better position outside the company. With 8-10 years left until retirement, I don't feel very secure but am taking a wait & see attitude before contacting legal help. It appears that the courts are changing the ground rules for proving age discrimination by employers. Any suggestions??

If you are terminated and can prove your 'allegation' that the company is trying to terminate older employees then you are in luck. It would be costly and a long process. otherwise without termination it would be very difficult to prove you are being affected by discrimination.
