  • DOL Issues Final Rule on Government Contractor Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Non-Discrimination and Affirmative Action Requirements
    ® One Minute Memo 60s DOL Issues Final Rule on Government Contractor Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Non-Discrimination and Affirmative Action Requirements By Lawrence Z. Lorber, Laura J. Maechtlen, Cameron A. Smith, and Annette Tyman On December 9, 2014, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) issued the Final Rule implementing Executive Order (“EO”) 13672, which will require affirmative action and non-discrimination in employment on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity for federal government contractors. See our prior post on EO 13672, which President Obama signed on July 21, 2014.1 The Final Rule becomes effective on April 10, 2015, 120 days after its publication in the Federal Register today. While the Final Rule was expected to be published in the Federal Register on December 3, 2014, later that morning the OFCCP published a notice soliciting comments under the Paperwork Reduction Act (“PRA”), which requires an analysis of the administrative burdens new regulations will have on small businesses. The agency had already issued its FAQs on the effect of EO 13672 and we do not expect the substance of the Final Rule to change despite the PRA comments period. EO 13672 amends EO 11246, first introduced by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965, to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of categories, specifically race, color, religion, sex and national origin that are protected from discrimination and require affirmative action. EO 13672 is the first federal action prohibiting discrimination on these grounds, given that efforts to extend workplace protections to LGBT employees through the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (“ENDA”) have been mired in legislative gridlock.

  • Sexual Orientation and the Federal Workplace
    SEXUAL ORIENTATION and the FEDERAL WORKPLACE Policy and Perception A Report to the President and Congress of the United States by the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board MAY 2014 THE CHAIRMAN U.S. MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION BOARD 1615 M Street, NW Washington, DC 20419-0001 The President President of the Senate Speaker of the House of Representatives Dear Sirs: In accordance with the requirements of 5 U.S.C. § 1204(a)(3), it is my honor to submit this U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) report, Sexual Orientation and the Federal Workplace: Policy and Perception. The purpose of our study was to examine Federal employee perceptions of workplace treatment based on sexual orientation, review how Federal workplace protections from sexual orientation discrimination evolved, and determine if further action is warranted to communicate or clarify those protections. Since 1980, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management has interpreted the tenth Prohibited Personnel Practice (5 U.S.C. § 2302(b)(10)), which bars discrimination in Federal personnel actions based on conduct that does not adversely affect job performance, to prohibit sexual orientation discrimination. As this prohibition has neither been specifically expressed in statute nor affirmed in judicial decision, it has been subject to alternate interpretations. Executive Order 13087 prohibited sexual orientation discrimination in Federal employment but provided no enforceable rights or remedies for Federal employees who allege they are the victims of sexual orientation discrimination. Any ambiguity in the longstanding policy prohibiting sexual orientation discrimination in the Federal workplace would be resolved by legislation making that prohibition explicit. Such legislation could grant Federal employees who allege they are victims of sexual orientation discrimination access to the same remedies as those who allege discrimination on other bases.

    EQIL INSIDER SCOOP JANUARY 2013 HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM EQUALITY ILLINOIS!!! AFFECTING YOU NOW: MARRIAGE EQUALITY VOTE UP NEXT: SPECIAL FIRST FRIDAY FOR THE FREEDOM TO MARRY WOMEN'S WEDNESDAY TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY SOCIAL JUSTICE FOR ALL GALA WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS MARRIAGE EQUALITY VOTE = This is the year. THIS IS THE WEEK!!! From the moment the civil unions bill was passed two years ago in the General Assembly, the Equality Illinois team went to work to create a fertile ground for the freedom to marry in Illinois. The momentum and support for passage of marriage equality has been building in every part of the state. There are only a few more days to have your voices heard. Even if you think your representative and senator support the freedom to marry, you should let them know "the time is now" for a vote. Here is what you can do: Call or email your legislator. Have your friends and family members contact them. You can find their Springfield office numbers and email them HERE. So much wonderful support has been pouring in; it's heartfelt, but it's not accidental that it is coming during this crucial period as Illinois lawmakers are returning to Springfield. Here's what's happening: 1. Equality Illinois is a founding member of the Illinois Unites for Marriage coalition, along with Lambda Legal and ACLU of Illinois. Scores of other organizations have come on board. Together we are making the case for the freedom to marry. 2. Just this morning, African-American leaders released a letter in support of the freedom to marry.

  • The Impact of a Ban on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Discrimination on Federal
    The Impact of a Ban on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Discrimination on Federal Contractors1 M. V. Lee Badgett, Amanda Baumle, Steven Boutcher, and Eunjung Jee March 2019 Abstract This paper analyzes the impact of President Obama’s 2014 executive order forbidding federal contractors to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI). We use data from charges of SOGI discrimination filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or a state nondiscrimination agency from 2013-2016. The charge data for private sector employers are matched to the EEOC’s EEO-1 of establishments to create a pooled cross- section dataset of establishments with and without charges. We estimate the probability that an employee files a SOGI discrimination charge against an establishment both before and after the executive order was signed or implemented. We find that from a baseline average charge rate of 2.0%, the probability of a charge rose for non-contractors by 0.4 percentage points after the executive order was signed (a 20% increase), and for federal contractors the probability rose by 1 This report was prepared for the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy, Chief Evaluation Office, under grant number EO-30272-17-60-5-25.
