Taft attorneys Robert Dunlevey, Jr. and Nadia Lampton co-authored the article “Wide-Ranging Ramifications of the Supreme Court Decision Protecting LGBTQ Workers – Employers Take Notice” after the recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to include sexual orientation and gender identity/transgender discrimination as forms of “sex” discrimination under Title VII. The article will be published by several Dayton region construction industry associations. The authors advise business owners to make changes in their current processes, procedures, and practices to avoid potential claims.
