75 former Boeing Co. employees filed a federal lawsuit against the Boeing Company and the buyers of its commercial aircraft operations in Kansas and Oklahoma. The plaintiffs are seeking class-action status, and 300 former workers have agreed to be part of the suit.

The workers are seeking their jobs back, along with unspecified compensatory damages.

They also asked for at least $1.5 billion in punitive damages.According to the complaint, nearly 14 percent of workers above age 50 were not offered jobs, compared with 4 percent under the age of 40.

Boeing declined immediate comment for they claimed that the company had not received a copy of the complaint.
