For over nineteen years, Oscar works for Rainer Golf and County Club, a destination for vacationers from across the United States, as the Golf pro/instructor.

For over nineteen years, Oscar works for Rainer Golf and County Club, a destination for vacationers from across the United States, as the Golf pro/instructor. Oscar is a former UW golf talent local hero who had a pretty successful pro career. After a steady stream of positive job evaluations and merit pay raises, Oscar is promoted to the position of Golf Pro Supervisor at five of Rainer's courses. Two years later, a new employee, Samantha, a recent WSU graduate, is hired to oversee operations at all five of Rainer's courses. Samantha demotes Oscar, who is now forty-two, to running only the Burien course, and freezes his salary. Samantha demotes five other employees all over the age of forty and places one of Oscar's former facilities under the supervision of Kathy, who is twenty-two. Oscar overhears Kathy say, "We're going to have to blow away with these old, crippled men." Less than a year later, Samantha reconsolidates the five facilities' operations under Kathy's charge. Oscar quits and files a lawsuit against Rainer for employment discrimination. Should he prevail? What employment laws should Oscar use in his complaint? What legal defense(s) can Rainer use? Please fully explain and support your arguments. You must provide an example to receive the points for this question.
