Case ID: 3384 | Employment | 05/10/2004
A class action has been filed against Domino's Pizza, Inc., on behalf of all people over the age of 40 who were fired by Domino's since David Brandon became CEO in 1999. The action alleges that the pizza chain violated Michigan labor law by firing older workers to replace them with younger workers, and seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
Named plaintiff Patricia LaCoste, 62, of Ypsilanti, worked nearly 20 years for Domino's, mainly in the marketing department. She was fired in 2003 and allegedly replaced with a younger employee, with little or no notice. One other position within Domino's was allegedly made available to her in the corporate legal department, an area in which she had no prior experience or training. Incidentally, she received her first negative performance review in 19 years in September 2003 and was fired November 21. The firing allegedly violated the age discrimination provisions of Michigan's Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act. The action alleges that LaCoste’s experience is typical of a pattern of bias against older Domino's employees encouraged by CEO Brandon, who "has inculcated in the company a corporate philosophy that values youth and energy over age and wisdom."
