In the next several weeks, a federal judge will rule
on whether two pension plan changes IBM made in the 1990s discriminated against Kathi Cooper and 140,000 other U.S. employees.
Cooper, the 52-year- old lead plaintiff, stands to receive an annual pension of $21,475 under the first of the two disputed pension plans, which were instituted in December 1994 and July 1999.
But she would get slightly more, $21,666, if she were a year younger, and $22,221 if she were five years younger -- even with no change in the number of years she worked for the company, according to her lawyers.
