A former financial controller at a Metro Detroit moving company is charged with misappropriating over $215,000 through unauthorized debit cards and fake expenses, depositing the stolen funds into her personal accounts, leading to a federal wire fraud charge.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has filed a lawsuit against Meathead Movers, a moving company in California, alleging age discrimination in its hiring practices. The EEOC claims that the company intentionally excluded workers over the age of 40 and favored young college students. The lawsuit comes after failed settlement negotiations, with the EEOC initially seeking $15 million in damages. Meathead Movers denies any wrongdoing and states that they are open to hiring anyone of any age who can perform the job. This legal clash may lead to more enforcement actions against companies targeting younger workers and prompt rebranding efforts to avoid legal challenges.
Meathead Movers, a California-based moving company known for its young and fit employees, is being sued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for age discrimination. The EEOC alleges that the company's marketing and hiring practices discourage older workers from applying. Meathead Movers denies the allegations, stating that the job is physically demanding and requires individuals in top shape. The EEOC has been investigating the company since 2017 and is seeking a settlement of around $5 million. Advocates for older Americans applaud the agency's efforts to combat age discrimination in the workforce.
