Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund (TLDEF) applauds today’s announcement by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs that it has issued a directive stating that the federal government’s ban on sex discrimination by federal contractors also prohibits discrimination based on gender identity and transgender status.
According to news reports, President Obama will soon sign an executive order providing non-discrimination protections to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) employees of federal contractors.
Yesterday more than 50 civil rights, religious, professional, labour, civic and education organizations sent a letter to President Obama calling for an executive order barring federal contractors from discriminating in employment on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
