The Clorox Company announced Tuesday that it has joined the Business Coalition for Workplace Fairness. The Coalition comprises a group of US employers who support improving workplace fairness for LGBTQ employees. The coalition supports the Employment Discrimination Act (ENDA) which would establish workplace protections similar to those that exist for other groups, for LGBTQ employees. Essentially, the Coalition would like to establish federal standards that treat all employees the same, and protect them from 'irrational discrimination.' Clorox CEO Don Knauss calls the decision to join the Coalition "one of our key social responsibilities" and also a vital business imperative.
