Allstate Corp. discriminated against older agents when it fired 6,200 employees in 2000, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said in a lawsuit.
The insurer denied any wrongdoing. The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in St. Louis.
Allstate, based in Northbrook, Ill., eliminated all of its employee-agents in 2000 and offered to rehire them as independent contractors with fewer benefits.
