Pres. Trump’s nominee to become Labor secretary tells Congress that it would be 'wrong' for employers to fire someone because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
The son of a conservative icon and now on track to become the next Labor secretary, Eugene Scalia told a Senate panel on Thursday that it would be"wrong" for employers to fire someone because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
"I do believe it’s wrong," Scalia replied."I think that most of my clients had policies against that. Certainly my firm did. And it's something that would not have been tolerated by me or my firm, or most of my clients." Critics of the plan say it would enable employers to discriminate against LGBTQ workers and other groups by claiming the employee didn’t share their religious views.
The AFL-CIO, one of the country’s largest unions, is opposing the nomination on the grounds that he represented clients against lower-wage workers, including a casino owner who wanted to force dealers to split their tips with floor supervisors. The union described this as wage"theft" by the casino. "I am not necessarily my clients," he said."I will seek to defend them, to vindicate their rights but that doesn't mean that I necessarily think that what they did was proper."
