ABSTRACT: This book brings together materials, cases, and
opinions regarding the Age Discrimination in Employment Act
of 1967, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Vietnam
Era
Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974; analyzes
these materials; and examines their impact on employer
personnel policies. These laws represent, in a sense, a
relatively underdeveloped but potentially highly
significant
aspect of a continuing and expanding public policy of
creating an ever-increasing number of protected groups that
already comprise a majority of the labor force. A section
of
the book is devoted to each of the three acts. The final
section is concerned with questions of public policy that
have been found to exist in the administration of the laws
and that are probably inherent in complex legislation
designed to regulate industrial relations and personnel
administration. Summaries of laws, excerpts from
legislation, and other supplementary information are
contained in appendixes. (Author/IRT)

available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of
the west wing) at Michigan State University. To locate
ERIC documents in the library identify the first line of
