WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 Hoy, el senador de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, principal patrocinador en el Senado de la Ley de No Discriminaci\u00f3n en el Empleo (ENDA, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s) y 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, public\u00f3 lo siguiente Declaraci\u00f3n sobre la firma por parte del Presidente Obama de una orden ejecutiva que proh\u00edbe la discriminaci\u00f3n en el lugar de trabajo contra millones de empleados lesbianas, gays, bisexuales y transg\u00e9nero de contratistas federales. Esta orden afecta a 24.000 empresas que emplean alrededor de 28 millones de trabajadores, o alrededor de una quinta parte de la fuerza laboral del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cMe enorgulleci\u00f3 acompa\u00f1ar al Presidente Obama hoy en la Casa Blanca cuando firm\u00f3 una orden ejecutiva para ilegalizar la discriminaci\u00f3n en el lugar de trabajo para los contratistas federales: un tremendo paso adelante hacia la igualdad, que deb\u00eda haberse hecho hace mucho tiempo. Esta orden ejecutiva env\u00eda un mensaje claro de que el trato desigual e injusto de los estadounidenses en el trabajo no tiene cabida en nuestra sociedad. Nadie deber\u00eda temer jam\u00e1s que su trabajo est\u00e9 en peligro s\u00f3lo por qui\u00e9nes son o a qui\u00e9n aman.<\/p>\n
\u201cAunque tenemos un largo camino por recorrer antes de garantizar la plena igualdad para los estadounidenses LGBT, hoy aplaudo al Presidente por dar este importante paso, que afirma el principio de que todos los estadounidenses merecen ser tratados de manera justa e igualitaria\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
El Senador Merkley es el principal patrocinador del Senado de la Ley de No Discriminaci\u00f3n en el Empleo (ENDA, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s) para poner fin a la discriminaci\u00f3n laboral anti-LGBT en todo Estados Unidos. A principios de este a\u00f1o, lider\u00f3 a m\u00e1s de 200 miembros del Congreso para pedir una orden ejecutiva que prohibiera esa discriminaci\u00f3n entre los contratistas federales.<\/p>\n
