Description

OVERCOMING AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT is a critical, timely and needed resource for workers, advocates and employers. This book provides an easy-to-understand overview of age discrimination law in the United States, using real cases from the federal courts and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to demonstrate how problems are analyzed and decided. Age discrimination can have severe consequences for both workers and employers. Workers who ignore age discrimination risk termination, chronic unemployment, years of low-wage or temp work, forced early retirement and, ultimately, an impoverished old age. Employers who engage in or ignore age discrimination risk costly litigation, damage to reputation and needless turnover at a time of increasing competition for skilled workers.
