Equal Remedies for Workplace Discrimination, Including Age Discrimination
This Act aims to equalize the remedies available for workplace discrimination. It amends statutes to allow for compensatory damages covering pecuniary losses, emotional pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life in a broader range of cases. Additionally, it amends the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) to provide any legal or equitable relief available under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and allows any party to demand a jury trial.
