Probably talk to one or more attornies first, find the one who seems to have the style you like, and ask him/her about the best way to address it.
I saw a similar situation coming at my company. Fortunately for me, my immediate supervisor didn't change and he prevented the worst situation.
If I were trying to do this without hiring an attorney, I'd say exactly what you've told us. "I haven't hired an attorney yet, but I see a pattern of older workers with many years of good performance reviews suddenly becoming poor performers. My guess is that you just want to start with a fresh crop of younger workers. Why not take the high road and offer us decent severence packages?"
