According to the current version of the INVEST in America Act, which passed the Senate on August 10, 2021, all "contractors and subcontractors utilized in carrying out activities funded under title 23, United States Code, should institute respectful workplace policies and provide effective, ongoing workplace training to create safe, respectful work sites that are free from bullying, hazing, discrimination, or harassment."
For clarity, title 23 of the United States Code is the law about highways. So, if you plan on working on the highways, anti-discrimination trainings must start now!
Do you think that this should be part of the law?
Is anti-discrimination training needed?
Either way, this is a signal that discrimination lawsuits are happening with increased frequency. So, protect yourself today and learn the law.
