Not true in the US. They could ban anyone born in the entire month of April, or anyone who “looks like a pot smoker” if they wanted to.
Applicants, employees and former employees are ONLY protected from employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, or gender identity), national origin, age (40 or older), disability and genetic information (including family medical history).
I wonder if an argument could be made that birthdate is a component of your genetic information including family medical history? It is also potentially age discrimination?
Yeah we typically thing age discrimination is saying we only hire people between 20-40y/o but it would also cover it if you said “I won’t hire someone 21 years old only” and still applies to banning someone 21.5 years old. And 21 years and 6 months and 27 days old.
Same applies if I ban anyone with an age divisible by 3. It’s a group of people, but if their age has anything to do with why you aren’t hiring them then I’d say this applies.
Are you being sarcastic? Or does being rejected for a job for being ‘too young’ fall under a different discrimination law?
(Genuine question, i have no idea)

Technically this is discrimination based on age.
They were born 4/20/(year). You could make an argument they are discriminating all people exactly (X) years, 4 months, and 2 days old.

Age discrimination only applies if you’re above 40.

Nobody said that they are from the US.

I’m so sorry that you expected better on a repost about the number 420. 🙄

Do you actually think that the user who posted this applied for this job?
The same user who reposts all the content on lemmy, bless his heart.
This is a joke someone posted elsewhere that has been reposted here.
lemmy winks are so much more rude than reddit posters and twice as gullible.
