BETRAYED - Tecno-Libro

Betrayed: The Legalization of Age Discrimination in the Workplace explains why so many workers in their 40s, 50s and older are out of work, laboring in part-time or temp jobs and generally struggling to survive. Age discrimination in America is hidden behind phrases like long-term unemployment and early retirement. Moreover, a confluence of failures by American institutions have left older workers with little or no protection against age discrimination. The author examines the reasons for the failure of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and the devastating consequences for older workers during and since the Great Recession.
