Aging gracefully with a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• The Supreme Court made it more difficult to succeed with age-bias lawsuits after overturning a jury award originally won by a 54-year-old employee who was demoted. The court ruling declared employees bear the full burden of proving that age was the deciding reason for dismissal or demotion. Better break out the Just For Men hair dye, guys.
• KFC is facing a lawsuit over the grilled chicken promotion gone awry, with angry customers charging the fast feeder with false advertising, fraud, unfair business practices and more. In the United States, it’s easier to get away with ageism than bungled free chicken dinners.
• Miami is about to name its first Black Fire Chief. Maurice Kemp, who has been the deputy chief since 1999, is a 24-year department veteran who worked his way up the ranks. Hey, how come Tubbs never got promoted after all his years of service on Miami Vice?
