LA Prioritizes Gender Identity and Pronoun Training for City Employees After Catastrophic Wildfires
Los Angeles is currently implementing new workplace training that emphasizes gender inclusivity and addresses harassment for city employees that could run afoul of federal authorities under a directive signed by President Donald J. Trump. City employees, including those in the Fire Department, must complete annual “Workplace Harassment and Abusive Conduct” training. The training encourages the use of preferred pronouns and addresses gender identity as a protected category. While the Trump executive order pertains to federal employees and contractors, it contains a provision that directs federal officials to stringently enforce certain civil rights and privacy protections afforded under federal law. The Los Angeles government’s workplace training program could be in violation of these protections, drawing civil action from the Department of Justice (DOJ).
