Employment Law: Update

Last Week I noted that a parliamentary committee was reviewing the new employment law that attempts to give gay and lesbians some protection against being dismissed from their job on grounds of sexuality. Some religious groups were to be made exempt from this.

I have struggled to fid some update on this on the web but have, at last discovered that this is due to the fact the committee is not reporting until Friday. However, Gay.com reports

While the nature of the “technical flaws” has not yet been announced, the Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association (GALHA) says they are hopeful that it is a sign the religious exemptions, which go beyond the original European Directive on which the regulations were based, could be removed.

All of which, I hope, is good news.

On this day…
