Based on your reading of the following, choose the best answer. Mr. Jones is suing his employer for age discrimination. He was recently asked to retire from his job at a lumber company. When he refused to do so, his employer laid him off. Mr. Jones is 70 years old and his job consists mainly of carrying large pieces of heavy lumber all day long. In recent years, Mr. Jones has needed to take frequent breaks and many times had to ask co-workers to help him with his job. Is Mr. Jones likely to win in the federal district court?

No, he will not win, because he can no longer perform the job he was hired to do.

Yes, he will win because his company is discriminating against him because of age.

Yes, he will win because his company should have made reasonable accommodation.

The federal district court doesn’t hear discrimination cases so he has no grounds.
