Collective Age Discrimination Suit Filed Against Mainfreight, Inc.

On Tuesday, June 14^th, Beranbaum Menken filed a collective action suit against Mainfreight, Inc. alleging that the company violated the Age Discrimination in Employment Act by terminating and failing to promote employees over 40 years old. We are seeking to represent all such workers throughout the United States who have been the victims of age discrimination at the company. Our firm currently represents three former employees, though we have reason to believe that numerous others throughout the country have been the victims of similar discrimination.

If you think you may have been fired, laid off, or denied a promotion because of your age at Mainfreight, Inc., are over 40 years old, and work or worked in either the Sales or Operations departments, we would like to speak with you. Please contact Christine Clarke at (212) 509-1616.

Beranbaum Menken Challenges Age Discrimination at Mainfreight Inc.

Beranbaum Menken has filed charges of age discrimination with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (”EEOC”) on behalf of three sales executives, in their 50’s and 60’s, fired by Mainfreight Inc. — an international corporation that provides freight and logistical services. Each of our three clients had a long track record as excellent performers. Their only “flaw” in the eyes of Mainfreight was their age. When fired, one of our clients was told by his manager that “the company is going younger.” And, indeed, at the same time that our clients and other older sales executives were being terminated, the company was retaining and even hiring sales representatives in their 20’s and 30’s. We welcome anyone with information about Mainfreight’s employment practices to contact us.
