The Advocate has learned that the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee will hold a hearing on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act November 5, according to a Senate Democratic aide.
The legislation, introduced by Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon in August, would prohibit employers from firing an employee or refusing to hire or promote a person because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. ENDA currently has 41 cosponsors.
