A new bill could make it harder for employers to discriminate against older Oregonians.
A recent AARP Oregon survey of voters aged 40-plus found 55 percent have seen or experienced age discrimination at work; of those respondents, 88 percent think it’s common. Such findings are motivating AARP Oregon to push legislation to strengthen the state’s workplace age discrimination law.
AARP Oregon is advocating to make it easier to prove work discrimination, as older workers face hiring practices outlawed in other states.
According to an AARP survey, many older adults report age bias at work. A task force could help examine the laws and champion legislation to address age discrimination in the workplace.
