Bill to Ban Job Discrimination Part of Economic Empowerment Agenda for LGBT Community.

IT`S TIME TO END JOB DISCRIMINATION, SAY WORKPLACE ADVOCATES
`It`s just good business-a diverse, committed, energized workforce contributes more to a company than employees who are struggling to cope with the impacts of discrimination.
Out & Equal Workplace Advocates applauds the reintroduction of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in the workplace. Federal legislation is needed because only thirteen states, plus the District of Columbia, provide protections that include both sexual orientation and gender identity, while an additional eight states cover sexual orientation only. This leaves employees in 60% of the United States vulnerable to harassment and discrimination on the job without any legal recourse.
