Fired Vietnam Veteran Wins Judgment Against City

Fired Vietnam Veteran Wins Judgment Against City Of Copperhill
Thursday, February 02, 2012
A Vietnam veteran who was terminated as city maintenance supervisor by the mayor of Copperhill has won a judgment in Federal Court.

A jury awarded Paul Hunter $350,000. Judge Sandy Mattice will also consider what amount of "front pay" he should receive as well as attorney fees. Front pay is the amount he would be expected to earn from the date of the trial until retirement at age 66. He is now 61 and was 58 when he was terminated in 2009.

The suit was filed on grounds of age discrimination and disability (due to a severe hearing loss from Vietnam).
