The point of it all is that at the moment it is a case of blatant discrimination with no evidence to support compulsory retirement on the basis of age.
Along with many others I plan to retire at 60 and have made appropriate provision for doing so. What I want is the right to work beyond 60 in my chosen profession should I choose to do so.
Clearly this would not be happening if it was based on race, ethnicity or sexual orientation. Perhaps being white, english and protestant is not helping my claim.
Rant over.
I pledge to the fight, 1 years worth of subscriptions to BALPA, if they refuse to support our claim.
