In addition, the enforcement of nondiscrimination guarantees remains uneven." (HUMAN RIGHTS JOURNAL) The author examines sexual discrimination in the workplace and suggests that "although most sexual minority employees may have some kind of legal protection against discrimination...finding the appropriate legal theories and the venues in which to pursue them can require truly resourceful lawyering in those places where direct, express statutory protection is lacking."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
