United States DC Circuit

In class-action suit led by 63-year-old plaintiff alleging that defendant employer is violating the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and the D.C. Human Rights Act by maintaining a discriminatory partnership policy under which the company refuses to promote older qualified employees, dismissal of complaint is reversed as plaintiff satisfied the ADEA's state filing requirement by virtue of a worksharing agreement between the EEOC and the D.C. Office of Human Rights, as well as through the Commission's referral of his charge to the New York State Division of Human Rights.
