BREAKING: Senate committee agrees to hold hearing on ENDA

A Senate committee has agreed to hold a hearing on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act following calls from advocates and senators for lawmakers to hear testimony on LGBT workplace discrimination.

In a statement Thursday, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee, announced he intends to hold a hearing on ENDA on June 12.

"Every American deserves an equal opportunity to earn a good living, judged by their talent, ability and qualifications free from discrimination," Harkin said. "Workplace discrimination based on an employee's sexual orientation or gender identity is reprehensible and has no place in our nation."
