Early Retirement

When Kenneth picked up his paycheck one Friday, he was shocked to find a pink slip inside. The slip directed the 57-year-old insurance salesman to apply for early retirement.

    “But I’ll only get half of my retirement benefits if I stop working now,” Kenneth protested. “I want to work until I’m 62 years old.”

    “Sorry,” said the personnel manager. “Business is slow now, and we’ve got to trim the payroll by getting rid of some of the older fellows.”

    “That’s a violation of the law,” claimed Kenneth, whose lawyer filed a lawsuit under the Federal Age Discrimination Act.

 

  AIDS Discrimination

John passed his physical and firefighters exam for a job with the City of Washington, but he was rejected by the Chief when he informed the department that he was HIV positive.

    “I can perform all the duties of a firefighter,” said John. “It’s like saying somebody can’t play basketball because he’s HIV positive.”

    John hired a lawyer who filed a Civil Rights suit for discrimination against the handicapped.

Harassment on the Job

Mary got her first job after high school as a checkout clerk in a small supermarket. She was delighted with the paycheck but dismayed by her boss’s attentions. When he offered her 100 dollars to go out with him, she laughed and refused.

    When he asked her to “wear tight jeans to work”, she cried. The final straw was when he felt the back of her blouse.

    Mary quit her job and filed a federal court case against the supermarket company for sexual harassment.

    The company lawyer denied responsibility. “We cannot be responsible for the personal conduct of our employees,” said the supermarket president. “Besides Mary never complained so we couldn’t investigate the problem and punish her supervisor.”

Amos was given two weeks pay and terminated. He hired a lawyer who sued the store.

A Case of Kidnapping

 Mrs. Perkins won custody of her two children in a divorce, but the judge also ordered that Mr. Perkins had to have the children each summer for visitation.

    The first summer, the ex-husband took the children, moved away and went into hiding. Over a year later, the distraught mother located the kids in another state, and regained custody.

    She filed a lawsuit against her ex-husband asking for money for her mental anguish.

    “You should throw this case out,” said the husband’s lawyer to the judge. “You can’t punish a loving father because he wants to be with his children.”

 

Not-So-New Car Crashes

Roscoe was a family man from Harlem who worked long days pushing carts in New York City’s garment district. He couldn’t afford a new car, but after saving every spare penny, Roscoe had enough money for an “almost-new” Ford.

    “This car was a salesman’s demonstrator,” said the dealer. “We serviced it right here in our shop, and only used it on short rides around the block.”  

    “Well, if it’s in good shape,” said Roscoe, “I guess I can’t go wrong.”

    “It’s just like new,” the dealer assured him.

    Three weeks after buying the nine-month-old car, Roscoe, his wife, and two children were driving to the country on a sunny weekend. Suddenly, the steering wheel froze, and the car veered off the road and crashed into a tree at 60 miles per hour. His wife was killed, his two sons injured and Roscoe suffered internal injuries.

Roscoe hired a lawyer who discovered that the “almost-new” car had been used and rented to more than 70 different drivers in the past nine months.

“The dealer misrepresented the use of the car,” said the lawyer. “We are suing him.”

“But the steering wheel could have gone bad on a brand-new car,” argued the dealer’s lawyer.

Car Accident Causes Suicide

Lewis, a 40-year-old plumber in excellent health, was involved in an intersection collision. The impact threw his head into the windshield.

    “I’m not hurt,” said Lewis to the policeman who made out the accident report and ticketed the other driver. But, early the next day, Lewis had a seizure and got sick to his stomach.

    After six months of gradual physical and mental deterioration, Lewis locked himself in the bathroom and shot himself.

    “The car accident caused his suicide,” cried his distraught widow. “I’m suing the other driver for his death.”

    The driver’s insurance company denied any duty to pay. “We may be liable for some minor brain damage, but not for Lewis’ death,” argued the company’s lawyer.

Mental Patient Freedom

After Robert committed his sister to a state mental hospital because of her constant depression, the doctors diagnosed her as schizophrenic and gave her daily doses of thorazine, and anti-psychotic medication.

    Robert filed a class action suit in federal court to stop all mental hospitals from giving patients anti-psychotic medicine against their objections. “She’s not violent,” complained Robert, “and the medication is ruining her health.”

    The hospitals and the American Psychiatric Association fought the suit. “Judge,” said their attorney, “mental patients cannot be allowed to make their own decisions.”
