Washington, DC- Los senadores estadounidenses Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Mark Kirk (R-IL), Robert Casey (D-PA) y Susan Collins (R-ME) pidieron al Senado que Salud, Educaci\u00f3n, Trabajo y Pensiones (AYUDA) Liderazgo del comit\u00e9 realizar\u00e1 audiencia sobre la Ley de No Discriminaci\u00f3n en el Empleo (ENDA). En una carta al presidente Tom Harkin (D-IA) y al miembro de alto rango Mike Enzi (R-WY), los senadores dijeron que la discriminaci\u00f3n laboral tiene efectos profundos en los salarios, las oportunidades laborales, la productividad y la salud de los trabajadores LGBT. <\/p>\n
\n"Como firmes partidarios de esta legislaci\u00f3n, les instamos a programar un tiempo para que los miembros del Comit\u00e9 consideren esta legislaci\u00f3n propuesta", dijeron los senadores. \u201cENDA encarna el ideal estadounidense de justicia: los empleados deben ser juzgados por sus habilidades y capacidades en el lugar de trabajo, y no por su orientaci\u00f3n sexual o identidad de g\u00e9nero\u201d. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
La \u00faltima sesi\u00f3n, el Comit\u00e9 HELP del Senado celebr\u00f3 la primera audiencia sobre una ENDA totalmente inclusiva. El Presidente Obama ha expresado recientemente su apoyo a la legislaci\u00f3n ENDA.<\/p>\n

Estimado presidente Harkin y miembro de alto rango Enzi:<\/p>\n
Solicitamos respetuosamente que el Comit\u00e9 de Salud, Educaci\u00f3n, Trabajo y Pensiones celebre una audiencia legislativa para examinar la discriminaci\u00f3n laboral contra estadounidenses lesbianas, gays, bisexuales y transg\u00e9nero (LGBT) para recibir testimonios y considerar actuar sobre la Ley de No Discriminaci\u00f3n en el Empleo ( p\u00e1g. 811).<\/p>\n
Como usted sabe, la discriminaci\u00f3n laboral tiene efectos profundos en los salarios, las oportunidades laborales, la productividad y la salud de los trabajadores LGBT. La Ley de No Discriminaci\u00f3n en el Empleo (ENDA) adopta un enfoque equilibrado para poner fin a la discriminaci\u00f3n en el lugar de trabajo contra la comunidad LGBT. Espec\u00edficamente, ENDA prohibir\u00eda a la mayor\u00eda de los lugares de trabajo en los Estados Unidos, con exenciones para instituciones religiosas, clubes privados y ciertas peque\u00f1as empresas, discriminar a empleados potenciales y existentes por su orientaci\u00f3n sexual o identidad de g\u00e9nero. Como firmes partidarios de esta legislaci\u00f3n, le instamos a programar un tiempo para que los miembros del Comit\u00e9 consideren esta legislaci\u00f3n propuesta. <\/p>\n
ENDA encarna el ideal estadounidense de justicia: los empleados deben ser juzgados por sus habilidades y capacidades en el lugar de trabajo, y no por su orientaci\u00f3n sexual o identidad de g\u00e9nero. Si bien algunos estados proh\u00edben la discriminaci\u00f3n en el empleo p\u00fablico y privado por motivos de orientaci\u00f3n sexual e identidad de g\u00e9nero, estudios recientes han encontrado evidencia de una discriminaci\u00f3n laboral generalizada y continua contra las personas LGBT. Lamentablemente, todav\u00eda es legal que las empresas en muchos estados despidan a alguien por su orientaci\u00f3n sexual o identidad de g\u00e9nero. <\/p>\n
Apreciamos su apoyo pasado para discutir este tema cr\u00edtico para millones de trabajadores estadounidenses, y respetuosamente le pedimos que garantice una oportunidad durante este Congreso para que todo el Comit\u00e9 considere testimonios sobre este proyecto de ley. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Atentamente,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
