MAP's new issue brief, A Broken Bargain: Unchecked Discrimination Against LGBT
Workers, summarizes the most
current information about the discrimination LGBT people face in the
workplace.
The
brief paints a sobering portrait of widespread inequality
and documents how LGBT workers continue to face unfair
treatment, harassment, and discrimination. Yet they often have nowhere to turn
for help. No federal law provides explicit legal protections for LGBT
workers, and fewer than half of states have laws that protect
workers based on their sexual orientation and gender
identity/expression.
A Broken Bargain: Unchecked Discrimination Against LGBT
Workers details the issues faced by LGBT workers, offers
solutions for fair treatment at work, and outlines policy recommendations to
help level the playing field for LGBT workers. A companion to
A Broken Bargain: Discrimination, Fewer Benefits, and More Taxes
for LGBT Workers, the new issue brief was co-authored by MAP, the Center
for American Progress, Freedom to Work, and the Human Rights Campaign, in
partnership with the National Center for Transgender Equality, and Out and Equal
Workplace Advocates.
