The subheader to the story isSetting The New HR Agenda: SHRM's 2009 Legislative Agenda But whether to include protections for transgendered persons will be a sticking point. Their take:
Odds are good that Congress will pass a bill to ban job discrimination based on sexual orientation. It will expand current federal employment law, which bars bias on the basis of a worker's race, religion, gender, national origin, age or disability.
Less certain is whether the final legislation will also include a ban on discrimination of transgendered persons, which is more controversial.
