[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 702884, member: 4653"] A couple of thoughts. First, its illegal to discriminate based on age in this country. Second, the gentleman was hired by UPS at 55-no spring chicken-i.e. they got themselves into this. Why not put him in a less demanding job, where extreme production is not emphasized? For example, driving the bulk train? How about small sort? Revenue recovery audit? High value clerk? Customer counter? My point is there are a number of jobs at UPS that a 70-year old can do, why not put him in one of these? I admire this man for working at UPS at 70. If the 20-year olds had his work ethic the sort would be smoked. No? [/QUOTE]
