Missouri Supreme Court Revives Discrimination Lawsuit Against Chiefs

The Missouri Supreme Court yesterday “revived” an age discrimination lawsuit filed against the Chiefs, vacating a Jackson County jury’s decision in ’13 that the team “did not discriminate against a former employee when he was fired.” Former Chiefs Maintenance Manager Steve Cox, who was 61 at the time of his firing in '10, “claimed he was terminated ... because of his age.” The Supreme Court judges overturned the trial court’s ruling “on the grounds that it was wrong for the court to preclude 20 other former employees from testifying that they also lost their jobs because they were older” (K.C. STAR, 9/23).
