63-year-old woman sues AARP for age discrimination

AARP, the national advocacy group for older Americans, is being accused of age discrimination.

Bonita Brady, a 63-year-old from Michigan, says the group passed her over for a series of jobs because she was too old, despite excellent job reviews.

She joined AARP in Chicago in 1996 as a health representative.
She also worked for AARP in Washington before moving to the Lansing office in 2007.

Brady says she lost her job in a reorganization and was passed over for nine vacancies.

She sued last week in federal court in Michigan and is seeking more than $25,000.

Now that is a fine 'How do you do' isn't it!
