A major defense contractor, RTX Corporation, formerly known as Raytheon Technologies Corporation, is facing a class-action lawsuit filed in federal court in Boston. The lawsuit accuses the American multinational aerospace and defense conglomerate of discriminating against older workers in job advertisements, in violation of federal and state laws.
The lawsuit alleges that RTX posted job ads targeting younger workers, such as recent graduates or those with less than two years of experience, which excluded or deterred older workers from applying. This practice is claimed to be widespread among U.S. employers, despite the increasing number of older Americans in the workforce.
