Could I claim age discrimination and retaliation?

I was 55 years old and did a good job. I complained my supervisor to give my jobs to another young (36 years old) person with different job title, etc. After I complained, the manager gave me a lot of jobs to do. I must work extra two hours to finish the jobs every work day. The situation lasts more than 2 months.
Around 3 month later after I complained, I was terminated in reduction in force even if I was assigned in charge of three jobs. But, all my jobs were transferred to the young person after reduction in force.
Could I claim age discrimination and retaliation?
Thank you.

To answer your question, an attorney will need to carefully examine the details of the RIF. Your employer might have used the RIF as an excuse to get rid of you, or you may have been legitimately selected based on objective criteria. The "find a lawyer" tool at www.cela.org is a good resource for locating a California employment lawyer.
