a victim of some sort of discrimination in the workplace? And if so, how have you dealt with it?

I was once made redundant alongside a woman who was pregnant and she was convinced that the only reason I went was to try and cover the company's back for getting rid of her. As I was planning on going to uni soon anyway I didn't challenge it, but I found out that she did and was compensated.

I've just started a new job and I've noticed some signs of being treated differently by one of my managers on the basis of what I feel is my age. Because of this I've decided to join a union just in case it escalates and I don't know what to do if it threatens my job if I challenge it.
