LGBTQ+ workers urged to know rights as federal strides set back

LGBTQ+ workers are being encouraged to familiarize themselves with their rights as federal protections have been rolled back under the Trump administration. Despite this setback, New Jersey maintains robust laws against bias, wage theft, and offers temporary leave protections. This situation underscores the importance of local advocacy and the need for LGBTQ+ individuals to stay informed about their rights, as federal policies shift against their interests. The state's strong stance highlights a critical divide between national and state-level protections for marginalized communities.
