Lefevers v. GAF Fiberglass Corp., No. 00-5667 (6th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this Case
Plaintiff, then age 58, was terminated from his job as shift supervisor in 1998. He claimed that he was terminated because of his age, in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. 621, and the Tennessee Human Rights Act, Tenn. Code 4-21-10. His performance appraisals before 1997 were positive or average; his 1997 appraisal was negative. The company stated that he was terminated as part of a reduction in force and that his responsibilities were shifted to another supervisor. The district court entered summary judgment for the employer. Appeal was stayed due to the employer's reorganization in bankruptcy. The Sixth Circuit affirmed. Plaintiff did not establish that the stated reason for termination was pretextual.
