Dear Mr. Irvine :
Thank you for contacting me about the "Employment Non-Discrimination
Act." I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.
While members of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender community
enjoy greater protection against workplace discrimination in New Jersey
than in most other states, more must be done to ensure equal protection
for GLBT Americans across the country. As a longtime supporter of GLBT
civil rights, I have proudly and consistently co-sponsored the
"Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA)" over the past ten years.
ENDA forbids discrimination based on sexual orientation by public and
private employers in hiring, firing , and employment conditions and
terms. It also forbids retaliatory conduct by employers. This
legislation has already been introduced in the House of Representatives
(H.R. 2015), and I will be proud to support a Senate companion if one is
introduced this year.
Thank you again for contacting me.
