A former E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Co. employee has filed suit against the business claiming that he was terminated because of his age and that the company favors younger contract managers.  The 62-year old East Texas man worked for DuPoint as a an offshore contract manufacturing manager in their business sector from September 2002 to September 2009.

In May 2009, the lawsuit states that the contract manager was given a top rating performance review.  Just two week later, officials at the company informed the man that his position was being eliminated after business reviews proved it to be excessive.

However, the former contract manager claims that he was terminated because of his age.  According to the lawsuit, the man was replaced with a far less qualified and much younger foreign employee.  Furthermore, the former employee says that the company practices age discrimination by retaining and promoting only young contract managers.
