   Actually, age discrimination numbers have been lowered to I believe in the FOURTY age group now. Age discrimination may be difficult to prove, but HAS been done. If everyone just lets it continue, then it will. I personally, am not giving up on the ...

   Thus age generally IS a factor. In which case, the EOCC does have LAWS. Difficult to prove, but can be done. Again, I have been involved with fair workplace laws and issues such as this for some time and have found ULTIMATELY, procuring an REPUTABLE ...

    Please, first off, DO consider filing a grievance AND finding an employment lawyer. TOO MUCH OF THIS IS BEING DONE IN HOSPITALS THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTRY. Unjustly terminating GOOD, veteran nurses and ultimately replacing with younger nurses who can b...
