Age Discrimination To Be Illegal
|
Date: 22nd May 2006
On the 1st October new legislation will come into effect making discrimination on the grounds of age unlawful. Age is the one remaining area of discrimination that has yet to be directly protected in the UK and the new law will meet the UK’s obligations under European Union Directives.
The Regulations detailing the contents of the Act were published in March and whilst LTU has already met the Bank on a number of occasions over the last few months to prepare for the new legislation, detailed negotiations are only now beginning.
The Union has advised members that until it has agreed a full set of procedures with the Bank members due to retire who wish to continue working should register their interest in writing with their Managers.
