"2011 Fair Playing Field Act to protect All American Workers Against Age Discrimination"
By Joan Freeman,Gray Matters Coalition (Contact)
To be delivered to: The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack Obama
This petition address the core issue, that of age discrimination which drives many serious cyclical age and unemployment bias and unjust hiring practices.
It is our purpose to end age discrimination in the work place, from companies, employment and, staffing agencies regarding practices such as unemployed bias in job ads, the interview process, unemployed status, bad credit bias and that toward extending unemployment benefits for those without work for more than six months.
Federal legislation is needed that would provide age discrimination protection to workers age forty and older like that provided for race, gender, national origin and religion in civil rights law.
It has come to a point where numerical standard mandated by Federal law is justified and legislation establishing such is put into law.
Such a law would mandate companies with 40 or more employees implement numerical, documented verification standards requiring that a set number (1 in 5) employees in their
work force is comprised of individuals between the age of forty and sixty five years of age.
Special tax credits will be allowed to all companies who hire an individual who has been unemployed six months or more without prejudice to credit ratings or unemployment status.
The “2011 Fair Playing Field Act to protect All American Workers Against Age discrimination” Federal legislation establishing numerical standards mandated by Federal law is good for America , its workers, the economy, substantially decreases unemployment benefit costs and provides a fairer playing field for American workers throughout the duration of their work life-careers.
It restores jobs, dignity, human and civil equality and justice, liberty and affords Americans the right and opportunity to work, provide for their families and to pursue the American dream.
Our Goal is to obtain 10,000 signatures in 30 days to send out a message to the congress and the nation that Americans are serious about ending age discrimination injustices .There is great power in unity ! Please show your support by and signing and sending this petition to everyone you know.
