Charity ordered to pay £4,000 after ‘humiliating' job seeker
BRITAIN'S leading charity for the elderly has been found guilty of age discrimination.
Age UK has been ordered by an employment tribunal to pay more than £4,000 in compensation to an interview candidate it treated unfairly.
The charity was found to have harassed designer Alexander Cubbin, 58, after he applied for a job.
Due to an internal blunder, Mr Cubbin's application was never even considered and he was rejected and then subjected to a "humiliating" review the charity conducted to avoid "embarrassment".
