From Television Week
>>Dick Clark Accused of Age Discrimination
Dick Clark, 74, is being accused of age discrimination by a former colleague, television producer Ralph Andrews, 76. In a complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Mr. Andrews claims Mr. Clark wrote him a letter saying he was too old to be considered for a position with Dick Clark Productions.
The letter allegedly states: "It was good to hear from you, Ralph. This is a tough letter to write, I have great respect and admiration for your accomplishments ... The last development guy we hired was 27 years old. Another person who is joining our staff next week is 30. People our age are considered dinosaurs. The business is being run by 'the next generation.'"
Phillip R. Maltin, Mr. Andrew's attorney, said the rejection constitutes a violation of the Fair Employment and Housing Act.<<
The answer to surviving in today's political correctness, non-indecency, non-sexual harrassment climate is..... don't talk or write to anyone?
