Age Discrimination

At work we transport developmentally disabled persons. Our vehicle insurance company has given us a Risk Managment to follw, when hiring drivers. No one over the age of 65 and they want them to be preferred 23-25. Isn't that the high risk age? Is this age discrimination? Everyone does it, but i wonder what would happen if somebody took a stand. like a class action suit or something. just asking.

Maybe not in the work force but in everyday life there IS. However, my main statement was to add to the origanal post. I also think younger ppl are discriminated against. I just wanted to add a statement that's all. No need to still be stuck on what i said, its not a big deal. Ruby i think your wrong merely becasue thus far on all posts in all topics all everyone ever says is based on opinion. Sometimes backed up by fact. So i disagree with you. And if u disagreed with me why do the opposite and agree? Anyway, it was a simple comment and its really not an issue. I didn't realize that this was a legal topic. I merely saw the age discrimination label and thought id add a comment. Agree or don't, its fine by me. As far as im concerned this is old news. Thanks have a great day.

Hello again, R:

It ain't no biggy, but I guard this board pretty good, even though nobody told me I should. The thing is, when people come to THIS board, what they want if fact, not opinion because they may have several years in the slam on the line.

I know you didn't notice the legal part. You're a smart girl and your input is welcome.
