Age Discrimination: 85-yr-old sues because replaced by 75-yr-old

The judge tossed the case.  There's no word if the plaintiff will appeal. 

Mildred Block, 85 years old, sued her employer Aramark.  The alleged cause was that the company replaced her in her booth selling beer at Shea Stadium with a 75 year old, reports Jennifer Millman in NBC NEW YORK.  Block wasn't fired.  She was given another site to sell beer. However, she contended the tips weren't as good as they had been at her first site.  Millman mentions there had been customer mumblings that Block wasn't serving them quickly enough.  Block blames that on her younger assistant.

Age discrimination lawsuits and complaints to the EEOC are becoming increasingly common as the populations ages and wants to keep working and the workforce becomes more assertive.
