What to Do If You Face Age Discrimination
Finding an Age Discrimination Lawyer

Content: Do you see older workers being laid off while less qualified younger workers are kept employed? This can be age discrimination, and you should document this as well. Similarly, have you or other older workers been excluded from meetings where younger workers attended? Do you see younger employees getting better assignments, better leads, better territories or better equipment? These are also possible examples of age discrimination. 3. Unfair Discipline
If you see older workers being disciplined for doing the same things as younger workers (who were not disciplined) or if this happened to you, make a note of it because this could be classic age discrimination. 4. Denied Promotion
If you were passed over for that promotion you expected and felt you were more qualified than the younger person who was promoted, write it down with appropriate notes. This could be age discrimination.
