Age Discrimination and the Aging Workforce
Speaker
Kelly Savage Day
There is much talk about the Millennials, and the sophisticated techniques used by social media to "target" certain age groups (20-40) for employment opportunities. So what is happening to the older folks still in the workforce who aren't even getting the memo?
Our timely topic for our March 13, 2018 Labor & Employment Committee meeting is: Age Discrimination and the Aging Workforce
Employees age 50 and older represent almost a third of the U.S. workforce. Many older workers plan to continue working well beyond what used to be considered the “normal” retirement age. This presents a dilemma for some employers who feel the aging workforce blocks the progression of younger workers while other employers are grateful to retain experienced older workers. The number of age discrimination charges filed with the EEOC has increased. This CLE Program focuses on the effect of the changing demographics, federal and state cases since the 2009 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Gross v. FBL Financial Services Inc., the recent regulations from the EEOC, and best practices to avoid litigation in the future.
If you are getting older, you must attend; if not, you can stay at home.
