Laws across states are ramping up to protect employees' rights and create safer workplaces. Let's highlight some key changes:

Michigan's Senate Bill 4 extends Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act protection to gender identity and sexual orientation, promoting inclusivity in larger workplaces.

Illinois' Gender Violence Act empowers employees facing workplace gender violence to take legal action against employers or colleagues, emphasizing the need for safe workspaces.

These changes reinforce employee rights, fostering diverse and safe work cultures. Advocating for these advancements means moving toward workplaces where everyone feels valued and secure. Stay tuned for more updates!
