Practise what you preach

It seems that age equality laws are causing some consternation in America at the moment. AARP (formerly the American Association of Retired Persons), a group which champions the rights of older people in the US, has been accused of age discrimination.

Bonita Brady, a 63-year-old from Michigan, says the group passed her over for a series of jobs because she was too old, despite excellent job reviews.

Brady says she lost her job in a reorganisation and was passed over for nine vacancies. She sued last week is seeking more than $25,000 in compensation.

According to Forbes.com, AARP have yet to comment on the issue.
