What's At Stake
Tuesday 8:22 AM
Certain rights are supposed to be guaranteed in the United States, thanks to legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But recently, Supreme Court decisions have eroded parts of that act, including some workers' right to sue for employment discrimination; the right to bring discrimination cases to court; and a provision ensuring that older government workers have the same rights as those in private industry. Now, a bill called FAIRNESS: The Civil Rights Act of 2004 has been introduced in both the House and Senate to guarantee workers' access to courts for discrimination cases and enforce existing civil rights protections. Join Civilrights.org and tell your senators and representatives to co-sponsor or support FAIRNESS. ACT NOW:
