Landmark Appeals Court Ruling Extends Title VII Protections To LGBT Employees
Groundbreaking Decision Could Lead Other Federal Courts To Follow Suit
Fisher Phillips, Employment Law Firm reported, "The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals became the first federal court of appeals in the nation to rule that sexual orientation claims are actionable under Title VII. The April 4 ruling is important to employers because it broadens the class of potential plaintiffs who can bring workplace claims against them, and will require employers to ensure fair and equal treatment to all applicants and workers regardless of their sexual orientation."
