"With the removal of a compulsory retirement age, reduced pension benefits and a longer wait for a State Pension, many older workers will want to, or be compelled to, remain in work for longer. Increasingly, trade unions will need to ensure that the employment available to older workers offers decent pay and conditions with access to training, promotion and career development, and that these workers are not discriminated against because of their age. This LRD Booklet explains the law on age discrimination and retirement, and provides guidance on best practice on the employment of older workers using practical examples and case studies throughout."
