In 1967, Congress created the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) to promote employment of older persons based on their ability rather than age. he said. The ADEA prohibits employ- ment discrimination against persons 40 years of age or older. It covers all private employers with 20 or more employees (15 in Utah), state and local governments (including school districts), employment agencies and labor organizations. The ADEA also covers the federal government The ADEA specifically makes it illegal to discriminate in any aspect of employment, including: hiring and firing; compensation, assignment, or classification of employees; transfer, promotion, layoff, or recall; job . advertisements; recruitment; testing; training; benefits, pay, retirement plans; or other terms and conditions of employment Furthermore, harassment on the basis of age, or retaliation against an individual for filing a charge of discrimination, participating in an investigation or opposing discriminatory practices is prohibited by the ADEA. The Utah and Labor Division (UALD) enforces the act within Utah. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the federal agency responsible for enforcing the ADEA.

They downsize or reorganize and eliminate positions. They document your release as performance related Last year, of the charges of age discrimination that were filed with the EEOC, only 12.2 percent held outcomes favorable to the party alleging the discrimination. Over 60 percent were closed by the EEOC because insufficient Five years ago, Jim Theusch looked over an alfalfa field and saw the future.

The company comes every weekday but Thursday to empty one of the four bins. There are two bins for aluminum, tin and plastic (anything bearing the recycling symbol with a number 2 inside). There is also a bin each for newspapers and glass. The city itself provides recycling for antifreeze, batteries (including car batteries), and waste motor oil year round. The products can be taken around to the back side of the Street Department building. The city also tried a curbside program at one time. Waste Management was doing curbside recycling for a time, Hardy said. But the number of people doing it went down and the program was no longer feasible. Theres no reason we couldnt provide that service... if people are willing to pay for it Hardy said the city is planning to do a telephone opinion survey in the next few months to determine whether or not theres enough support to restart the curbside recycling program. Other recycling bins exist around the city provided by various organizations such as the PTA or the Boy Scouts, said Hardy. In those situations, the bins are being used as fund raisers for the organizations. BY IWQEUE A.

However, the chances of winning a private suit after the UALD or the EEOC has issued a no cause ruling is slim because the evidence has already been gone through. While the law helps, experts say, the eradication of age discrimination will come from CEOs and managers who have to change the way they operate. Will the U.S. ever eliminate it completely? Experts dont think so. One solution to surviving in the workplace, according to Lois Baar, an employment lawyer with Parsons, Behle and Latimer, is to stay current with changes in your field If you can only do certain things because of limited skills, and the company has layoffs, whos going to go? Not keeping up with technology is a problem. Baar, who defends employers against discrimination suits, said attitude is important as well. Dont view yourself as too old or like you dont have the pep anymore, Baar said. 24-2- Operating Train Layouts Dotl Displays Good Food Kiniature Train Rides 3 ttF JICLtLC 3? TiuT I f? |
