Michael Stawasz was just nine months away from collecting on his Ford Motor Company pension plan when he was unceremoniously downsized.

 

After thirty years as a technician for Ford, Stawasz had been looking forward to retiring with full benefits after a long career. Instead, he found himself in the unemployment line. Stawasz told The Detroit News that he took little comfort in his consolation prize — a certificate honoring him for his years of service.

 

The Detroit News also reports that Stawasz and about two dozen others are now suing Ford, accusing the company of age discrimination and firing them to avoid paying full benefits.
