Richard L. Britt and Timothy Jackson, Jr., brought a class action lawsuit against Grocers Supply Company, Inc., and Teamsters Local 968, alleging age discrimination after Grocers Supply altered its wage calculation system. The plaintiffs, mainly employees over forty, went on strike in opposition to the new productivity-based system. Grocers Supply hired replacements during the strike, and the strikers were subsequently informed they had been replaced upon attempting to return to work. The court found insufficient evidence of age discrimination, noting that the plaintiffs were not discharged but voluntarily left their jobs. The court further concluded that the age discrimination claim was preempted by the National Labor Relations Act, ultimately denying the action and ruling that the plaintiffs would take nothing from Grocers Supply.
