Employees who lost their jobs at IBM as part of a reduction in force could sue the company for age discrimination, even though their severance packages purportedly waived their right to sue, the 9th Circuit has ruled in reversing a dismissal. Under the federal Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA), employees may not waive their right to sue under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) unless the waiver is "knowing and voluntary." To qualify as "knowing and voluntary," a waiver must be "written in a manner calculated to be understood" by the average employee.

On June 22, 2011, the National Labor Relations Board (the Board) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing various amendments of its rules and regulations governing the filing and processing of petitions relating to the representation of employees for purposes of collective bargaining with their employer. This document explains which of the proposed amendments the Board is adopting at this time in the final rule and sets forth the Board's responses to comments concerning those proposals. The Board believes that the final rule will reduce unnecessary litigation in representation cases and thereby enable the Board to better fulfill its duty to expeditiously resolve questions concerning representation. The final rule will also save time and resources for the parties and the agency. ...

Eric B. Mohr spent nearly 20 years in the direct marketing industry. Most recently, he worked as a senior director of client services for a direct marketing firm. He thought his job was secure. A new chief executive officer arrived in 2006, imposing a hiring freeze to help the firm improve its finances. That impacted Mohr by preventing him from replacing a staffer who had left his department. His work load increased. When the company cut staff by a quarter, Mohr was laid off.

This study looks at factors affecting the decision of early retirement for Egyptian government sector employees. The empirical analysis is based on 2005 nationally representative sample of government sector workers. Among the findings of this study are: women are more likely to retire earlier than men; good health status is associated with longer stay on the job; the level of education is not a determining factor for women, but it is for men; men plan to work after their early retirement; the presence of the working wife has a positive effect on her husband to retire early, yet a working husband discourages his wife from retiring early. Policy implications discussed timing of the announcement of the plans; the potential outcome of excessive payouts, as well as the need for the governmen...
