What: Public Form on Age Discrimination in the Workplace
Iowans affected by age discrimination in the workplace and those who are concerned about age discrimination on the job are invited to join AARP for a public forum with state and national AARP leaders, members of the media and the public to illustrate how important this issue is for the financial security of older workers in Iowa. The hearing is timed for Iowans to share their stories of age discrimination in the workplace as Congress considers legislation sponsored by Iowa Senators Tom Harkin (D) and Chuck Grassley (R), the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act, (S. 1391, H.R. 2852).
