For the second time this year, Congress will consider overturning a U.S. Supreme Court employment law decision favorable to employers.rnIowa Senator Tom Harkin introduced a bill to reverse the court's Gross v. FBL Financial decision. (See our July 10 issue.) Gross made it harder for employees claiming age bias to prove it, by requiring them to show that age was the only reason for the discrimination against them.rnPreviously, courts had said employees needed merely to prove age was a factor. The new bill would restore that state of affairs.
