Vera Baird QC MP Launches the Unions 21 debate piece: The Generation Game – Does Age Matter?
Following the introduction of anti age discrimination law in the UK and with continuing demographic changes, the impact of age is increasingly a matter that concerns trade unionists.
The Government Equalities Office are consulting on further
proposals for a new legal ban on harmful age discrimination, which
will make sure older people do not face unfair or substandard
treatment when they are buying goods or using services, such as in
shops, hospitals, or when accessing car and holiday insurance.
Vera Baird QC MP will launch a Unions 21 publication with two different perspectives on how age affects working people.
