AARP sued for age discrimination

The group formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons is being sued by an ex-employee. The charge: age discrimination.
That’s right, the national advocacy group for Americans over 50 is being accused of bias against older workers.
The employee, 63-year-old Bonita Brady, says she was passed over for nine promotions before she lost her job in a reorganization — right before she would’ve been eligible for retirement benefits.
She claims her age was the reason she lost her job and is seeking $25,000 in damages. The AARP hasn’t commented on the case yet. We’ll keep you posted.
