AFL-CIO Unions Urge Congress To Act On Hate Crimes
AFGE and other AFL-CIO unions have endorsed the "Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act" (LLEEA) (S. 625 and H.R. 1343), which recently was reported out of the Senate Judiciary Committee by a vote of 12 to 7. The LLEEA would amend the federal hate crime law which currently permits federal prosecution of violent crimes motivated by bias based on race, religion, national origin or color, but only if the victim was exercising a federally protected right, such as voting. The LLEEA amendments would remove the overly restrictive protected rights requirements and would add sexual orientation, gender and disability to the list of covered groups. For more information on LLEEA, visit the AFL-CIO at www.aflcio.org/publ/press2000/pr0719.htm.
