MAY 1, 1998 NEWS BULLETIN
from sunyaged@xxxxxxxxxxx

A class-action age discrimination complaint has been filed to stop
the STATE OF NEW YORK and/or its agent STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK from
hiring "new" (younger) employees to REPLACE faculty and professionals
with permanent contracts who are over the age of forty (40).

The basis for the complaint is a STATE OF NEW YORK contract article
claiming the "State has the right to contract out" (terminate!) the
services of academic or professional staff with continuing/permanent
contracts with no provisions for continued benefits, including but not
limited to health insurance, retirement benefits and past guarantees of
"no age discrimination".

In accordance with the work-sharing agreement between the State agency
(Division of Human Rights) and the Federal agency (EEOC), the STATE OF
NEW YORK's Executive Department Regional Division of Human Rights office
in Buffalo, New York will meet on Tuesday, May 19, 1998 at 11 a.m. with
representative(s) of the class action complaint.

discrimination complaint or want to help save the rights of workers over
40 in New York State, contact the age-discrimination complaint
