My second question has to do with seniority rights in many of the negotiated collective agreements. One would assume that those clauses actually benefit older workers, because if there are layoffs within a company, one would assume people who have worked fewer years at that company would be the first to go and those who have worked longer and who are older would be the ones who would stay.
Is it fair to say that collective agreements in a lot of cases actually help to protect older workers and help them to continue to work?
