After 27 years at Mass General,
social worker Hope Cranska was abruptly
laid off. The hospital calls it a simple
case of downsizing, but evidence points
to another explanation: age
discrimination. Cranska's lawsuit
against the hospital still hasn't been
resolved although a jury awarded her
$631,000 in damages in 1999,
Kristen Lombardi writes in the
Boston Phoenix. Cranska's case
epitomizes "the potential injustices faced
by outspoken older employees in
bottom-line American corporate
culture," Lombardi writes.
