The Carbon Co. owns and operates 50 chemical plants in many states. In NJ and MI, the senior managers were laid off. It is alleged that they were terminated because they were old, in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The Secretary of Labor has filed a suit against The Carbon Company for discrimination. What is the most likely outcome?

1) Case will sound in law and damages will be limited to back pay that the managers lost when they were wrongfully terminated.

Or

2) Case will sound in equity and an injunction will be granted with relief limited to further violations at NJ and MI.
