WASHINGTON, DC\u2014El senador de Oregon, Jeff Merkley, emiti\u00f3 hoy la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n tras el anuncio de nuevas reglas publicadas por el Departamento de Trabajo de EE. UU. que exigen igualdad de protecci\u00f3n para los estadounidenses lesbianas, gays, bisexuales y transg\u00e9nero que trabajan para el gobierno federal o para contratistas federales: <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEl anuncio de hoy es un paso importante hacia un Estados Unidos donde ya no se tolerar\u00e1 la discriminaci\u00f3n basada en la orientaci\u00f3n sexual o la identidad de g\u00e9nero. Millones de estadounidenses ya no tendr\u00e1n que temer por sus empleos simplemente por qui\u00e9nes son o a qui\u00e9n aman. Una igualdad ampliada har\u00e1 que los lugares de trabajo de nuestra naci\u00f3n sean motores m\u00e1s productivos y exitosos de nuestra econom\u00eda.<\/p>\n

\u201cEl fallo de hoy nos lleva en la direcci\u00f3n correcta, pero todav\u00eda tenemos m\u00e1s trabajo por hacer. Debemos seguir buscando la igualdad total para todos los estadounidenses, no s\u00f3lo para aquellos que trabajan para contratistas federales o viven en ciertos estados. Espero continuar trabajando con mis colegas y nuestros socios en la comunidad LGBT para que nuestras leyes reflejen nuestros valores y garanticen la igualdad de trato para todos los estadounidenses\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Merkley ha sido una voz destacada en el Congreso pidiendo una orden ejecutiva para prohibir la discriminaci\u00f3n entre contratistas federales por motivos de orientaci\u00f3n sexual o identidad de g\u00e9nero. A principios de este a\u00f1o, encabez\u00f3 a m\u00e1s de 200 miembros de la C\u00e1mara y el Senado a pedir dicha orden ejecutiva. El Senador Merkley fue el principal patrocinador en el Senado de la Ley de No Discriminaci\u00f3n en el Empleo (ENDA) y el principal defensor en el Congreso de una orden ejecutiva para prohibir a los contratistas federales discriminar a los estadounidenses LGBT en el lugar de trabajo.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
