Age Discrimination No Longer Applies to School Bus Drivers

A local school-bus driver has won the fight on age-discrimination.

Leonard Way was told he had to retire from driving school bus, once he turned 65.

Four years after he issued a complaint, The New Brunswick Human Rights Commission ordered the district to stop the discriminatory practice of mandatory retirement for the bus drivers.

Way says if people can pass the required driving tests, then they should be allowed to drive, no matter what age.

He returned behind the big wheel, just shortly after this school year began.
