Overcoming Age Discrimination in Employment: An Essential Guide for Workers, Advocates & Employers

Patricia G. Barnes

4.9/5 (27474 ratings)

Description:OVERCOMING AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT is a critical lifeline for workers who are struggling to remain in the workplace in the face of rampant and unaddressed age discrimination in employment. Older workers are vulnerable to employment discrimination because they receive far less protection under federal law than is provided to workers on the basis of race, sex, religion, color and national origin. Every day older workers are driven out of the workplace by rampant, unaddressed ageism. Once unemployed, they become mired in chronic unemployment due to epidemic age discrimination in hiring. It is imperative that older workers act to protect their livelihoods before they are ousted from a paycheck that they earned through years of hard work. How could Baby Boomers, the architect of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, find themselves in this predicament? The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) was weak and riddled with loopholes when it was adopted by the U.S. Congress a half century ago, and it has been further eroded by the U.S. Supreme Court. The problem is so pervasive that it is trickling down to workers in their 30s. OVERCOMING AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT is a timely and much needed resource for workers, advocates and employers. This book provides an easy-to-understand overview of age discrimination law and uses real cases to demonstrate how common issues are analyzed legally and decided. 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. OVERCOMING AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT answers such questions • When do ageist remarks rise to the level of illegal harassment? • Who qualifies for the protection of the ADEA? • What factors influence whether the EEOC summarily dismisses a charge as having no reasonable cause? • Can an employer escape liability by replacing an older worker with an even older worker? • What recourse do workers have if they miss an EEOC filing deadline? • Why are employers invariably the big winners in the EEOC’s mediation and conciliation programs? • Can an employer fire a group of older workers who picket outside the company to protest age discrimination? • When does an employment relationship exist? • Why doesn’t the ADEA provide for punitive damages or damages for emotional distress? • An employer policy that adversely impacts older workers is legal if it is based on a reasonable factor other than age. What is considered reasonable? • What is an early retirement incentive and when can it be offered? • Are unemployment compensation and welfare benefits deducted from an award of back pay? Author PATRICIA G. BARNES is a licensed attorney, former judge and the editor of the employment law blog, Age Discrimination in Employment.com. She wrote the groundbreaking book, THE LEGALIZATION OF AGE DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE (2014), which examines the second-class legal status of older workers.
