Why Pennsylvania Needs a Change to the Anti-Discimination Law
Business Has Lead the Way
If you appreciate reading my posts, would you like to thank me with a coffee?Many major businesses in Pennsylvania have employment policies prohibiting such discrimination. More than 100 employers, including some of the largest corporations, in Pennsylvania have non-discrimination policies including sexual orientation and/or gender identity. 462 Fortune 500 companies, including all 27 Fortune 500 companies headquartered in Pennsylvania, prohibit discrimination based upon sexual orientation. These companies recognize that attracting and retaining the best workers is critical, and that employers with a reputation for respecting diversity are at a competitive advantage with these protections.
