Ford v. Chevron Corporation CA2/8
In this employment case, plaintiff Robin Ford appeals the grant of summary judgment to defendants Chevron Corporation and Chevron U.S.A., Inc. (together Chevron), on her single claim for age discrimination after she was not hired for either one of two work control specialist (WCS) positions or three administrative positions at Chevron’s El Segundo refinery. Having worked for a decade as a contractor for Chevron, including four years in a similar WCS role, she believed she was the most qualified applicant for the WCS positions and had an unblemished work record, so the only conceivable reason she was passed over in favor of two less qualified younger candidates was because she was 57 years old. Chevron claimed that, at the time it hired the two candidates, Ford was not selected because she was ranked last after interviews with potential candidates and she had “behavioral issues.”
