Default age/health discrimination

My grandmother is 77 yrs old and has leukemia. She has told me that in the last few weeks, her employer has asked her to drop her insurance and sign up foir Medicare. Today she told me they said she will either need to sign up for medicare or retire. Can they do that? She has worked at this same factory for over forty years! Thank you

Default Re: age/health discrimination

Normally no if she is working...You could consult your nearest Department of Labor office to briefly discuss the issue with them first...you may also want to ask the company to put what is happening in writing and explain to them that you may have attorneys review the situation...try speaking to a higher level of management about the issue; they may override the other managers. If none of these efforts resolves the issue, let us know.
