It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against older workers (over 40) in advancement and promotion due to the worker's age. Not all employers are covered by the Act. However promoting younger workers over older workers is not, by itself, proof of unlawful age discrimination. In order for you to get an opinion on whether you have a valid claim, much more facts are necessary. I'd also encourage you to look at this link with the EEOC to learn more about age discrimination: https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/practices/index.cfm#job_assignments
