SocialistWorker.org – Sherry Wolf reports on the latest version of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
Few pieces of federal legislation have as tortured and ignominious a history as the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) currently wending its way through Congress.
The present version “would prohibit employers, employment agencies, labor organizations and joint labor management committees from firing, refusing to hire or discriminating against those employed or seeking employment on the basis of their perceived or actual sexual orientation or gender identity. Such protections are already in place prohibiting discrimination based on race, religion, gender, national origin, age and disability.”
