Comment

Poll is too simplistic. I voted 'No' but I believe the laws will make SOME difference. Good companies will have a higher awareness of the issue, and people in those companies who are against discrimination will have their arguments strengthened. But the law will not eliminate discrimination, it's too easy to hide.

That said, once a few cases come to court, things may change. If a company consistently employs under 30s when better qualified older people apply for jobs, there may be a basis for action against them.
