TOPIC - Due 14/9 - Anti-discrimination Measures in the Workplace

This week, new age discrimination legislation was brought into force across the UK. It means that, employer's can now not advertise for staff of a certain age or refuse an interview to an applicant purely based on age amongst other things.

This is the latest in anti-discrimination measures that have been introduced in recent times, adding to the gender and race laws that have made it "fairer" in the work place in terms of getting a job and then receiving the pay that one deserves.

I'm presuming that the nations represented here have similar legislation in place.

Whatever happened to selecting the best man for the job?

Discuss.
