TAMPA, Fla. — Fifteen former employees at a Pinellas County golf resort are alleging in a lawsuit that they lost their jobs because of their ages.
One of the plaintiffs, Mike Markonios, worked at the Innisbrook Resort for 45 years before he was let go at age 62.
Five of the terminated employees were in their 70s, according to the age discrimination suit filed in Pinellas County last month against Salamander Innisbrook LLC, the Palm Harbor resort’s parent company. Nine had been employed there for over two decades.
