I started work one day. Then got fired. Reason "couldn't catch on." I say thats bull. Theres were no difficulties. Besides you got to give a new person some time to get good.
Is it because of age? I am 52.
Is it because of race? I am caucasion.
Infact, they did make it appear that a person would proform well in five minutes like been doing it twinty-years.

There is something called the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. It is enforced by the US Department of Labor's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and it does prohibit employers from making employment decisions based on age for people over the age of 40. In some states, the US Dept. of Labor gives money to the state Department of Labor to operate the EEOC for them, in other states, the feds do it themselves. It sounds as if you may have a case, but it's hard to say for sure - look in the blue (government) pages of your local phone book for a Department of Labor office and call them and ask, or go to the federal Dept. of Labor/EEOC's website: www.eeoc.gov, and see what you can find. You can also go look at the Title 29 of the US Code of Federal Regulations, Part 14. Good luck!

You don't have a case. Let it go.

Most employers can fire you for any reason.
