Tell Banana Republic to stop discriminating against disabled and Elderly employees

We want Banana Republic to stop discriminating against Elderly and disabled employees and to be a more inclusive job environment.

Why is this important?

The inclusion of workers is a paramount issue in todays society, and for such a large retailer to set such a bad example of ableism and ageism is damaging to society as a whole.

This situation is made even more relevant because of the ongoing pandemic and the inability for senior citizens to find work during this time because of health concerns. Here is an article by CNBC that goes over this issue : https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/30/older-americans-are-struggling-with-unemployment-amid-the-covid-crisis.html.
