WRONGFUL TERMINATION LAWSUITS
As companies increase layoffs, lawsuits are likely to follow
By Carol Williams
LOS ANGELES TIMES
Sunday, December 28, 2008
Lured away from her job in Houston to take an executive position at Dell Inc., Jan Chapman persuaded her husband to quit his job, move with her to Austin and buy a house at the height of the real estate bubble.
Seven months later, the computer maker laid off Chapman, whose 25-year career in human resources had been filled with flattering performance evaluations.
Chapman, 59, and three other top female managers have filed a class action lawsuit against Dell, alleging age and sex discrimination in the company's termination of 8,000 employees in the past year.
Dell has denied the allegations.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in San Francisco, is one of only a few so far emanating from the mass layoffs sweeping the United States.
But labor and employment lawyers say that a tidal wave of wrongful termination lawsuits is expected in the coming months as the jobless burn through their savings, run up debt and find few work prospects in the worst economic downturn in decades.
