Because they signed away that right: https://features.propublica.org/ibm/ibm-age-discrimination-american-workers/ https://features.propublica.org/ibm/ibm-age-discrimination-a.... That same article mentions a lawsuit about IBM changing its pension scheme, forcing them to revert to the old one and a $300M settlement amount. That said, there have been a number of age discrimination lawsuits, just no major class action it seems: https://www.cohenmilstein.com/case-study/ibm-age-discrimination-litigation/ https://www.cohenmilstein.com/case-study/ibm-age-discriminat..., https://www.theregister.com/2024/06/20/ibm_and_kyndryl_again_sued/ https://www.theregister.com/2024/06/20/ibm_and_kyndryl_again..., https://www.hrdive.com/news/ibm-hr-professionals-suit-age-discrimination-layoffs/694555/ https://www.hrdive.com/news/ibm-hr-professionals-suit-age-di..., https://thenationaltriallawyers.org/article/ibm-hit-with-1-5m-age-discrimination-verdict-despite-sham-investigation/ https://thenationaltriallawyers.org/article/ibm-hit-with-1-5...
