The Ninth Circuit found in Syverson v. Int’l Bus. Machs. Corp., 2006
The Ninth Circuit court reversed the trial court and reinstated the claims. The plaintiffs in Syverson v. Int’l Bus. Machs. Corp. argued that the RIF was discriminatory and that the company violated the OWBPA by using a document that appeared to release the employer from the employees’ age discrimination claims and to exclude claims from the reach of a covenant not to sue the company.
