Tell Congress to Protect Older Workers Now!

Tell Congress to protect older workers now!

No one should be judged based on stereotypes or assumptions in the workplace. But in a recent AARP study, nearly 2 in 3 workers said they had seen or experienced age discrimination. This is wrong — older workers deserve the same opportunities for financial stability and long-term employment as anyone else.

Ten years ago, a Supreme Court ruling weakened our nation’s age discrimination laws, making it harder for workers to prove age discrimination. Now Congress has a chance to change that. A bipartisan age discrimination bill (H.R. 2062) being considered by Congress right now would help level the playing field for older workers and restore their rights to fight back against age discrimination.

Tell Congress: Be a champion for older workers and pass the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act (H.R. 2062), now.

Be a champion for older workers and pass the bipartisan Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act (POWADA) now!

As your constituent, I am counting on you to protect older workers and help restore our right to be treated fairly based on their abilities — not our age. That's why I am urging you to pass H.R. 2062.

A Supreme Court ruling weakened our nation’s age discrimination laws, making it harder for older workers to prove age discrimination than it is to prove discrimination based on race, religion, or gender. Age discrimination, like any other kind of discrimination, is wrong.

Research finds that more than half of older workers are pushed out of longtime jobs prematurely, and 90% of these workers never go on to earn as much if they are lucky enough to get another job. There is no time to waste – age discrimination is threatening our financial security.

POWADA is common-sense, bipartisan legislation that is essential to protecting the rights and well-being of older workers and their families, and as one of your constituents, I am counting on you to be a champion for older workers and pass H.R. 2062 now.

Thank you.
