Apple CEO Tim cook is calling on Congress to pass a bill that seeks to offer protection against workplace policies and practices that create disadvantages based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
In an op-ed piece published online Sunday by the Wall Street Journal, Cook urges the Senate to support the Employment Nondiscrimination Act, and calls on the House of Representatives to bring the bill to the floor for a vote.
The bill, Cook said, would update federal employment laws to protect workers against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
He cites Apple's antidiscrimination policy as already a step ahead of the government's by offering protections to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees.

(9,462 posts)about equality rings hollow after his efforts to make sure his company's tax burden is grossly unequal. He wants equal rights for all in the community, so long as it doesn't extend to taxes. In that case, he's all for the grossly unequal tax laws that favor corporations.
