The Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRC) released its 2010 Corporate Equality Index report on the 1st of October 2010.
Northrop Grumman Corporation, a leading global security company which employs over 120,000 people and which provides innovative systems, products, and solutions in aerospace, electronics, information systems, shipbuilding and technical services to government and commercial customers worldwide was among 337 companies to receive the top score this year from HRC, the nation's leading lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans gender (LGBT) civil-rights organization.
A spokesperson for Northrop Grumman Corporation advised that workers are protected from employment discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression because of their employers' policies on diversity and inclusion, training and benefits. Federal law does not protect employees from discrimination based on real or perceived gender identity or sexual orientation, although many cities, counties and states have such protections. Similarly, employer-based health insurance benefits typically do not cover LGBT workers and their families.
