Honeywell illegally forced US worker in China to retire, lawsuit alleges
This story was originally published on HR Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily HR Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: Honeywell International, Inc., allegedly violated the Age Discrimination in Employment Act when it illegally subjected a U.S. citizen working in Shanghai to China's mandatory retirement age and fired her solely because she turned 55, the employee claims in a July 30 lawsuit. Per the complaint in Li v. Honeywell International, Inc., the employee served as corporate counsel to the firm and as general counsel to Honeywell's regional aerospace division at its Shanghai subsidiary. She alleged that under the ADEA's 'foreign laws' exception, China's mandatory retirement law did not dictate her termination because, among other reasons, China did not make its retirement age mandatory for foreign workers, particularly in Shanghai. The employee also alleged that Honeywell violated the ADEA when it denied her executive severance package, purportedly because her turning 55 gave it 'cause' to terminate her. But nothing in China's retirement law mandated that she be denied her severance because she reached 55, the complaint alleged, and denying her severance violated the ADEA, which 'prohibits discrimination in the terms and conditions of employment,' the lawsuit said. Dive Insight: For businesses employing U.S. citizens abroad, the Honeywell lawsuit is a reminder they need to stay on top of the complicated interplay between foreign and U.S. employment laws. The issue here focused on whether China's mandatory retirement law conflicted with the ADEA. The employee alleged there was no conflict because the law didn't apply to foreign workers and that Honeywell relied on an interpretation of the law that was 'blatantly wrong' so it could fire her because of her age. HR professionals are familiar with the ADEA's general prohibition on discrimination against employees who are 40 and older on the basis of their age. Pertinent to the lawsuit, the ADEA defines 'employee' to include 'any individual who is a citizen of the United States employed by an employer in a workplace in a foreign country.' However, under the foreign laws exception, it's not unlawful under the ADEA to take otherwise prohibited action 'where such practices involve an employee in a workplace in a foreign country, and compliance ... would cause [the] employer ... to violate the laws of the country in which such workplace is located,' EEOC guidance states. In the Honeywell lawsuit, the employee alleged that although her employment contract had been in effect for several years, she was informed for the first time, nine days before her 55th birthday and two months before the contract ended, that she would be terminated when she turned 55. She alleged Honeywell told her she was being terminated based on clauses in the contract mentioning that Chinese law applied to retirement age and related matters and an employee could be subject to early termination if they reached retirement age as regulated by China's law. The complaint asserted that Honeywell's purported reliance on China's mandated retirement age to terminate the employee violated the ADEA because, in addition to the mandate allegedly not applying to foreign workers, the employee's work permit wasn't subject to age restrictions and had an expiration date that matched her contract. The employee also alleged that shortly before she was terminated, she was told her leadership role would be significantly expanded to cover countries outside of China where business practices were irregular, demonstrating that her performance was not at issue and that instead, Honeywell considered her to be an outstanding executive. She alleged additionally that Honeywell had viable alternatives to firing her, such as reassigning her to another country, or offering her a multi-year contractor position that matched, or closely matched, her financial package.

Kits Eyecare Stock Has Doubled This Year: My Prediction for What Comes Next…
Written by Aditya Raghunath at The Motley Fool Canada Valued at a market cap of $533 million, Kits Eyecare (TSX:KITS) operates a digital eyecare platform in the United States and Canada. It manufactures progressive and contact lenses, eyeglasses, and frames under the KITS brand, as well as distributes eyewear products of various brands. Kits operates a network of optical e-commerce websites, including and In the last three years, the small-cap TSX stock has returned 575% to shareholders, crushing broader market returns by a wide margin. Let's see if Kits Eyecare stock is still a good buy right now. How did Kits Eyecare stock perform in Q2 2025? In Q2 2025, Kits Eyecare reported record sales of $49.6 million, an increase of 31% year over year above its midpoint guidance of $49 million. The Canada-based digital eyecare provider also achieved its 11th consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) at $2.6 million, indicating a margin of 5.2%. The standout performance came from the company's glasses segment, which generated $7.2 million in revenue, up 44% year-over-year. Kits delivered over 112,000 pairs of glasses during the quarter, a 53% increase from the prior year. Premium lens upgrades accounted for 46% of glasses revenue and grew 58% annually, which suggests that customers are gravitating toward higher-value products. Growth markets Canada emerged as a key growth driver, with revenue in the region growing 44% year-over-year. This strength was attributed to new and returning customers across glasses and contact lenses, reflecting the success of the company's 'Own This Town' localized marketing strategy. The initiative has generated increased awareness in targeted markets, contributing to improved customer acquisition metrics. Kits welcomed over 111,000 new customers in Q2, a record for the company and a 55% increase from last year. These new customers contributed over 39% of revenue in the June quarter. The company's two-year active customer base now exceeds 991,000 people, growing 13% annually, with repeat customers representing over 60% of Q2 revenue. Gross margins expanded to 36.3%, up 350 basis points year-over-year, despite absorbing the impact of record new customer growth. The margin improvement was driven by a higher mix of glasses sales and premium lens upgrades, in addition to tighter promotional controls. Its vertically integrated manufacturing model continues to provide competitive advantages in quality and cost efficiency. Outlook Kits projects Q3 revenue between $52 million and $54 million with adjusted EBITDA margins of 5-7%. It expects marketing expenses to moderate slightly while maintaining gross margin improvements. Management highlighted the launch of OpticianAI, a technology platform designed to enhance frame selection and customization, as customers report superior online experiences compared to traditional retail channels. The results underscore Kits' strategy of building lifetime customer relationships through superior digital experiences while maintaining operational discipline and margin expansion. Is the TSX stock undervalued? Analysts tracking Kits Eyecare forecast revenue to grow from $159 million in 2024 to $294 million in 2029. In this period, adjusted earnings are estimated to grow from $0.04 per share to $0.81 per share. Today, KITS stock trades at a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 68.4 times, which might seem lofty. However, this steep multiple is supported by robust growth estimates. If KITS trades at 40 times forward earnings, the TSX stock could roughly double over the next four years.
