 (1)Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa )Chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee supported a bill  written by Harkin and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, to amend the age discrimination in employment Act of 1967 and restores the law to what it was prior to the decision. Sen .Harkin   Said that the Supreme Court (Gross v. FBL) was in effect “rewriting” the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The court “invented a new standard that makes it prohibitively difficult for a victim to prove age discrimination.” “This extraordinarily high burden radically undermines older workers’ ability to hold employers accountable. In a 5-4 decision, the court said that age couldn’t simply be a “motivating factor” in an employment decision; it had to be the decisive cause in order for age discrimination protections to take effect. meaning that victims of age discrimination face a much higher legal burden of proof than those alleging race, sex, national origin or religious discrimination protected in civil rights law.http://www.workforce.com/section/news/article/house-senate-bills-would-overturn-supreme-court-age.php
