AGE DISCRIMINATION AND THE EMPLOYED STATUS OF WOMEN
AGE PROFILING AFFECTING THE UNEMPLOYED????
RULED TO END AGE DISCRIMINATION PROTECTION & EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN"2011 FAIR PLAYING FIELD ACT TO PROTECT AMERICAN WORKERS
AGAINST AGE DISCRIMINATION" AGE PROFILING IS WHEN:
1. JOB BOARD ADS DISQUALIFY YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE UNEMPLOYED.
2. YOU ARE TOLD THAT: YOU HAVE TOO MUCH EXPERIENCE
3. YOU ARE OVER QUALIFIED
4. YOUR ENERGY LEVEL MAY BE IN QUESTIO
5. NOT A TEAM FIT
6. NOT A SUITABLE CORPORATE IMAGE
7. YOU ARE BULLIED OUT OF THE WORK FORCE
8. YOU ARE TERMINATED WITHOUT CAUSE
9. WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE? ... AND THE DISCRIMINATION GOES ON AND ON!
ONLY 4 YEARS AGO THIS COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED: it was illegal to terminate or lay people off for no reason, ask your birth date before you were hired, ads discriminating against unemployed status & so were the 5 minute -degrading face-face interviews when the younger interviewers determines your age
WHAT WENT SO TERRIBLY WRONG??
The WAR ON WOMEN WAS PERPETUATED WHEN EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN WAS TARGETED with a Supreme Court decision in ( Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.) and dealt a near-fatal blow to women's ability to use ( Title VII of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 ) and maintain their rights to equal pay for equal work.
This 2009 (Gross vs. FBL) Supreme Court ruling was the first step to nullify the Act of 1967 (ADEA) (EEOC) protecting older workers rights in civil rights law. Justice Clarence Thomas invented a new standard in rewriting laws that set forth a law radically undermining older workers. When Justices Thomas, John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, and Samuel Alito dismantled this law, older workers were left unprotected and at the mercy of big business. This explains a lot about why job boards are free to post ads discriminating against the unemplhttp://signon.org/sign/2011-fair-playing-fieldoyed.?source=s.em.cr&r_by=1415825&mailing_id=4449
