ADEA case pivots on communication attempts

Description

Abstract: In a recent Third Circuit case, an employee had to show that her employer’s proffered reasons for terminating her were pretext for age and disability discrimination in violation of the ADEA and the Rehabilitation Act. But the employee never asked to return to work, nor did she ask for or was denied a work-related accommodation. This article reveals the court’s decision. Tolliver v. Trinity Parish Foundation et al., No. 17-2929, Jan. 26, 2018 (3rd Cir.)
