Any AT&T employee who signed an invalid release still may have the right to bring a federal age discrimination claim and keep the severance they were paid,” Console said in a statement. “Under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), in order for a worker to release their ADEA claims, information must be presented by the company in a group layoff that sets forth the ages and job titles of people laid off and not laid off. This is required by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act—it makes sense because this data helps an employee and their lawyer see if there was age discrimination in the terminations. Any release that does not set forth the required information is invalid.”

I second the comment. He is a troll
Stfu, douche
Lol, do you really think all those high powered lawyers at att will approve (or draft) an "invalid" waiver? if. you are the one impacted take it to the best employment lawyer you can find. good luck. as for the messages on the class action a federal judge approved, please. Federal circuit judges are overturned by appellate courts all the time. however even if the plaintiffs win, do you really believe the payout will match the severance payout? the plaintiff lawyers are the ones who will benefit greatly.
