Age discrimination in employment is prohibited under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), which protects workers 40 and older. During workforce reductions, age bias can be disguised as neutral business decisions. Key evidence includes age-related remarks, statistical patterns showing older workers disproportionately affected, and inconsistent application of layoff criteria. #AgeDiscrimination #LaborRights #EmploymentLaw #FEHA #WorkplaceJustice
