AARP Sued for Age Discrimination
Can you spell irony? AARP, after all, bills itself as:
a nonprofit membership organization of persons 50 and older dedicated to addressing their needs and interests.Bonita Brady, a 63-year-old from Michigan, has sued the organization for age discrimination. According to the complaint, AARP passed her over for a series of jobs because she was too old, despite excellent job reviews.
Brady joined AARP in 1996. She started in Chicago as a health representative. She moved to the Lansing, MI office in 2007.
According to Brady, she lost her job in a reorganization and was passed over for nine vacancies. She sued last week in federal court in Michigan and is seeking more than $25,000.

ONLY $25,000? i'd add a few zeros to that,tocompensate on what she would have earned for the next,say,10 years in any of the positions she was passed over on.
AARP of all organizations should have policies in place to protect older workers from the fallout of reorganization. What a shame to have so little respect for someone who worked there 12 years..
