Children of the 60’s — You Fought for Our Rights — Now Let Us Fight for Yours
They Say You Are Too Old to Handle the Job? Not According to the Law
Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, a person over 40 years old is a member of a class of older workers and protected from unfair employment practices based on age. Despite strict federal and New York state laws governing workers' rights, however, many employers still find subtle ways to avoid hiring older workers or providing promotion opportunities.
If you are over 40 and feel that you are facing workplace discrimination or hiring violations because of your age, talk to an employment litigation attorney at VKV right away. Our lawyers have a combined 40 years of experience helping workers fight back against age discrimination.
“We look at more than just the surface of your case. We investigate the past practices and policies of your employer to determine whether a pattern of age discrimination is evident. Just because your supervisor is over 40, doesn't mean the company isn't practicing age discrimination.” — Robert Valli, Jr.

Why Older Workers Are the First Targets
Employers often claim that they don't single out older workers for layoffs and cutbacks. Older workers, however, are easy targets when cutting costs because employers believe they suffer more health problems generating higher expenses compared to younger employees. In addition, experienced workers who have been on the job for many years typically earn higher wages than a new, younger hire making them a clear target for termination.
If you feel your rights are being violated because of your age, get the knowledge that gives you the power and courage to fight back. That's whey VKV is here. We're ready to help.
