AGE DISCRIMINATION DOESN'T JUST AFFECT
OLDER PEOPLE |
|
This weeks Chamber HR news looks at age discrimination and the
fact that it's not just the older members of society who can face
it.
Regulations cover employers and employees, but extend far beyond
to cover people in training, professional bodies, trade unions,
office holders like directors, clergy, and many more - it's not just
for big companies.
