age discrimination
Yet it has been demonstrated repeatedly that older workers are absent less frequently than younger workers and are less likely to contribute to rapid turnover. Yet, in another case, Gabri vs Sun Hydraulics, an employer actually offered an employee more than the statutory six-months’ notice before retirement, and lost because of it (going beyond the letter of the law). Based on the record before us, we cannot say the evidence is unduly prejudicial. Based on previous philosophical and legal literature, the paper articulates the essential moral values of age equality in employment, which stem from the notion of dignity and Dworkin’s ideal of equal concern and respect. These essential values form the basis of the moral and economic justification for the elimination of age discrimination in employment.
