Age Discrimination in the American Workplace: Old at a Young Age

After reading this book you will be able to decide whether to file a lawsuit against your former employer. Good examples of real cases. Also good advise on what documents you need to gather, before and after you are terminated. Read this book even if you think your employer legally terminated you.

Gregory's book is very helpful in understanding what factors can win an age discrimination action. His clear and concise case studies are used to illustrate the main legal points and how the courts have changed over recent years in their requirements for success. It has in several ways become more difficult to win age discrimination cases and Gregory explains how and why very clearly.The book also helps one decide whether or not to pursue an age related legal recourse.

if you wish to become a plaintiff, and as a source of information, wisdom and comfort, if you do take action against your employer.Age discrimination in the year 2003 should be so silly, but it seems as though corporate America, for the most part, does not look beyond a five year horizon. In 5 years, when "boomers" begin leaving the workforce in large numbers, and employers canno longer find qualified people, or even more important, qualified people with wisdom gained from experience, there will be an employment crisis again. Some companies have recognized this and geared their policies and opportunities accordingly. Most have not...most have gloried in a legal system, that, by its very bureaucracy and expense, guarantees anonymity for corporations because of settlement, and very few court challenges. Most employees are discouraged before they start.Gregory's book is a valuable resource to not let yourself become discouraged! Highly recommended!

There is very little written on the subject of age discrimination in employment that ventures to explain the whole process for the Plaintiff. This author is very credible to me both in providing behavior insights and process descriptions. It raises my confidence that older workers can gain a good understanding of the steps they need to take when they face the problem of age bias in employment.

If you work for a large or small corporation, this book is a mustread. Gregory shows how corporations streamline their payrolls bygetting rid of their 'older' employees, thus reducing wages, benefits, etc. Younger employees earn less, so it's just a matterof doing the math. Corporations use early retirement incentives,whether or not an employee wants to stop working. A little slow at first, this book picks up the pace, and grabs hold of the reader with fascinating, real-life cases, from a lawyer who obviously knows his stuff. Read on!!
