Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–June 11, 2012. Tomorrow the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions will hold a hearing on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2011—the first since November 2009— and the Center for American Progress today released “The Freedom to Work, The Freedom to Worship,” with an accompanying video, on how ENDA advances workplace equality while protecting religious liberty. “A State-by-State Examination of Nondiscrimination Laws and Policies,” also released today by CAP, surveys differing laws and policies, legal remedies afforded to the gay and transgender community, and the number of discrimination complaints in each state where such information is available. The report shows that ENDA needs to be passed into law in order to finally prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in America.
