In 29 states, it is legal to fire someone because of their sexual orientation. In 32 states the same is true for gender identity or expression. Because of the patchwork of state and federal marriage laws, same-sex couples experience a complicated array obstacles in the workplace.
In a majority of states, a union contract is the only protection that LGBT workers have. For all workers, the power of standing together as part of a union is the most effective way to win fair working conditions.
