Challenging the gay rights movement and labor unions to join forces in order to advance workplace rights for all.
Today in thirty-nine states, employers may legally fire workers simply because they are known or thought to be gay. Clearly, the struggle against workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation has a long way to go. In Out at Work, a distinguished group of prominent gay rights activists, union leaders and members, policymakers, and academics-including U.S. Representative Barney Frank, AFL-CIO president John J. Sweeney, and rights advocate Urvashi Vaid-offers a spirited assessment of the challenges faced by lesbians, gays, and other sexual minorities on the job.
