Recently in March 6,2017, Sears Holding had a court case against them for age
discrimination. The case Morgan vs. Sears Holding Management Corporation
was a case in regards to three Sears ex-employees filing a case with the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The three employees stated that
Sears terminated them from their positions due to their age or their opposition to
age discrimination. After the lawsuit was filed and brought to court Sears argued
