Monday, November 25th from 7:00 am – 10:00 am: The Mondays @ 7 Group will host Vlad Spitzer, an Employment Law Attorney, who will give a presentation titled: Discrimination in the Workplace. Most of the HR professionals out there have no idea how age discrimination really works. The subject is complicated enough that many lawyers do not really understand it either. Vlad will demystify age discrimination, so that members will see that it is really not a grin and bear issue, but one where the courts are trying to deal with workplace concepts that are really very complex. What this translates into for the 50+ job seeker is both good and bad news. For further information, contact Ed Thomas at 203-981-4648 or via email at ejjthomasjr@gmail.com.
