On the Record
Hachette Book Group, which runs their distribution center in Indiana, has joined in opposition to the state’s controversial new law. The company has signed on to a statement from the Human Rights Campaign “telling legislators in Indiana and throughout the country that we strongly oppose provisions in the Religious Freedom Restoration Act that allow discrimination against any individual or group. With our Distribution Center and 285 employees in Lebanon, Indiana, we are happy to see today that the Indiana legislature adopted an amendment specifically prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. We are grateful to colleagues and authors who have spoken up clearly about this important issue.”
