Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia
termination of employment
I worked for a national home building company and with the down turn in home construction was terminated. The company terminated app. 25 builders. Of these 25 builders, 100% of builders 50 years of age or over were let go which amounted to app. 15 builders which were in the 50 and over group. Total number of builders before the termination was around 45. Could there be age discrimation

Re: termination of employment
It could be age discrimination, but the first issue is whether you were employees or independent contractors. If an EE you should consult with an attorney like myself who practices in this area.
