Call for ENDA Executive Order After EEOC Sex-Discrimination Settlement

With all the election-year talk about "jobs, jobs, jobs" one would think someone would call for passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, an inclusive federal bill that would ban bias in hiring and firing and harassment against LGBT people - and those perceived to be LGBT - on the job.

The issue came up last Friday, Jan 6, when the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) won a $155,000 settlement against DynCorp International LLC, a military contractor and aircraft maintenance company based in a sex-based workplace discrimination case, according to the Washington Blade.
