Welcome to the website for current and former employees alleging class action age discrimination claims against 3M -- your source for case information and updates, easy access to court filings, and the latest news.
What's At Stake?
At stake is the right of older employees to be evaluated, promoted, compensated and employed based on the quality of their work rather than their age and stereotypes about the productivity and capabilities of older employees.
Can You Help?
If you have information that may help us in proving these claims against 3M and you are a person with whom we can talk, we would like to hear from you. In particular, we would like to talk with persons who signed releases after being terminated by 3M from 2001 to the present and we would like to get copies of the materials you received in conjunction with the Release. We also want to talk to current and former employees who worked outside Minnesota at any time from 2001 to the present, including California and Texas. Please click here to learn more.

Am I A Class Member?
The class that Judge Johnson certified in the Whitaker case includes all current and former employees of 3M who were
- age 46 or older when employed by 3M in Minnesota
- at any time from May 10, 2003, through the present
- in a salaried, exempt position below PS grade180 (grade 18) or L3, and
- who did not sign a release of claims
If you fall within the definition, you are likely a class member and will receive a notice that tells you about your rights. We do not know when notices will be sent, but will post the information on this website when it is available.
To keep updated on the status of the case, keep checking this website, particularly the updates on the “About the Case” page.
