CWA Applauds Supreme Court Decision Banning LGBTQ Workplace Discrimination

This week, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that firing someone based on their sexual orientation or gender identity is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This ruling provides clarity and comfort for millions of LGBTQ working people in the United States who are not covered by anti-discrimination provisions in state and local laws or union collective bargaining agreements.

"For too long, LGBTQ working people have risked losing their jobs if they didn't conform to their employer's gender stereotypes," said CWA President Chris Shelton.

We at CWA celebrate this milestone and commit to continuing the fight for justice for all working people."
