OAKLAND, CA -- 11/03/09 --
The Clorox Company (NYSE: CLX) today announced
that it has joined the Business Coalition for Workplace Fairness, a group
of leading U.S. employers seeking to address workplace fairness for gay,
bisexual, lesbian and transgender (GBLT) employees through a federal
standard that treats all employees equally.
"The Clorox Company shares the Coalition's strong commitment to eradicating
discrimination in the workplace," said Don Knauss, chairman and CEO, The
Clorox Company. "Creating a culture of diversity and inclusion where
everyone is treated with fairness, dignity and respect represents not only
one of our key social responsibility principles, but it is also a business
imperative that is vital to the success of our company."
The coalition supports the Employment Discrimination Act (ENDA), which is a
federal bill that would provide the same basic employment discrimination
protections to GBLT employees that are already afforded to workers across
the country. ENDA will help ensure all Americans have basic employment
protection from discrimination based on irrational prejudice. The bill is
closely modeled on existing civil rights laws, including Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
