Board members are not necessarily employees in this context.
- Wowfunhappy 3y agoBut then are you allowed to have a written policy that says "only white people can be board members" or "only men can be board members", because they aren't employees? I'm honestly asking, I'm curious how this works!
- manderley 3y agoYou were already told why, seems you're not actually curious but want to make a weird point instead.
- hawaiianbrah 3y agoI thought the extension of their questioning was interesting, and I’m also curious…
- summerlight 3y agoYeah, I don't know how it works outside ADEA, which scope is limited to employees. It's interesting to dig into the case when board members are actually employees, so I just skimmed through the law and I found that ADEA does not protect bona fide executive or high policy-making role. Probably discrimination against other protected classes are prohibited by other laws.
