A new survey has found a disconnect between workplace attitudes and older workers' intentions of remaining employed. When the Hiscox insurance company queried people about age discrimination, responses showed a widespread problem. Among workers age 40 and over, 20% responded that they had been the target of age discrimination at work. The same survey, however, indicated that 67% of respondents 65 and younger expected to remain employed after age 66.
TSA workers complain about workplace harassment
New Jersey workers can face racial discrimination and harassment in a variety of settings, including in the high-pressure environment of airport security. In the baggage screening area at one international airport, a makeshift noose was discovered. As a result, two Transportation Security Agency (TSA) workers were suspended with pay while an investigation is pursued. The discovery comes following repeated complaints of harassment and racism on the job for TSA employees. Officials described the noose as an "offensive display", and it was found in an employees-only area that was closed to passengers and the public.
