Charlotte City Council Considers Nondiscrimination Ordinance Wednesday, July 28, 2021
Charlotte is considering passing an ordinance that would extend nondiscrimination protections to employees of businesses with 14 or less employees. On July 26, 2021, Charlotte’s City Attorney sent a memo to the Mayor and City Councilmembers outlining this proposed new ordinance.
The proposed ordinance would prohibit discrimination based on “race (including natural hairstyle), sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression), gender, religion, national origin, ethnicity, age, familial status, veteran status, and disability.” As opposed to the definition of “employer” under many federal and state antidiscrimination laws which apply to businesses employing 15 or more employees, the proposed Charlotte ordinance would exclusively cover businesses employing 14 or less employees “[t]o address this gap in discrimination protection.”
