' According to the Illinois State Bar association, the law is de- ... signedtJo preve ni ' arM • age discrimination" in the employment of persons between the ages of 40 and 65. Employers of 25 or more persons in industries affecting commerce, and labor unions and employment agencies serving such industries, come under the jurisdiction of the Act. In effect, explains the LSBA, a person can't be turned down for a job, fired or otherwise discriminated against because he's "too old," as long as he is qualified for the job on the basis of his skills, experience and perforrnance. Further, the use of such phrases as "young," under 40," ^'recent grad," etc., in help wanted advertisements is also considered discriminatory except in special circumstances. Exceptions are made in instances where age is a legi timate occupational qualifica tion, or where there is 3 bona fide seniority system o employee benefit plan which i not a subterfuge to evade the law. In addition, the employer is still allowed to discharge an employee for good cause--regardless of his age. The federal law which became effective June 12, 1968, complements an already existing state law on age discrimination. The state law, notes the ISBA, applies id any employer of one or more individuals, while the federal law affects only those who employ at least 25persons. The Illinois law states that , discrimination against older applicants or job holders is to be prohibited because it "deprives the state of its most important resource of experienced employees, adds to the number of persons receiving public assistance, and deprives older people of the dignity and status of self-support." Since the new federal law does not displace the state statutes, on the subject, complaints of hiring bias should first be submitted to the Illinois Fair Employment Practices commission. If no relief is received, charges may be brought under the Federal Act 60 days after proceedings were started under the state law. The Federal Act provides for enforcement by the Secretary of Labor under $ie Fair Labor Standards Act. However, should the Secretary fail to take action,. the individual may file suit provided he first files a notice of such intent with the Secretary of Labor within 180 days after thfc alleged discriminatory act. The actual suit cannot be filed until 60 days after the notice is filed. Her husband, Lawrence H., died Dec. 3, 1068. She was also preceded in death by two sons. Among her survivors is a niece.
