Description
In this appeal, we are presented the question whether a parent corporation may be held liable for the allegedly discriminatory conduct of its subsidiary. Eight former employees of the FoxMeyer Drug Company ("FoxMeyer Drug") were terminated as a result of a reduction-in-force. They brought this action alleging age discrimination under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 ("ADEA"), 29 U.S.C. § 621-34. They also sued FoxMeyer Drugs parent corporation, the FoxMeyer Corporation, and FoxMeyer Corporations parent, National Intergroup, Inc. ("NII"). NII moved for summary Judgement contending that it did not qualify as an "employer" in the matters relating to this case and, therefore, was not subject to suit under the ADEA. The district court granted NIIs motion and dismissed the action against NII. On appeal, the plaintiffs-appellants argue that the district court erred in finding no genuine issue of material fact as to whether FoxMeyer Drug, FoxMeyer Corporation, and NII constituted a "single employer" under the ADEA. We affirm.
