Age discrimination in employment could get you fired from your job, or prevent you from getting a job in the first place. What can seniors and other adults 40+ do to combat it? Attorney Dan Kalish founded a national law firm that has obtained millions of dollars in age discrimination cases for its clients. In this video, the lawyer tells Jeff Hoyt what age discrimination is and why some companies practice it. He also details some of his cases where the age discrimination victim prevailed, and what you can do about it.

The lawyer explains how prevalent the practice is and that seniors who are let go because they make too much money are not necessarily victims of age discrimination. He touches on why age discrimination is tougher to prove than race and gender discrimination under federal law, and how the loss of union jobs has lead to more age discrimination.
Finally, he explains how to protect yourself and how to reach his law firm for a free legal consultation.
