2012 Idaho Fair Employment Working Group HOME "In Idaho, sadly, you can still be fired just because you're gay." •Who We Are: The Idaho Fair Employment Working Group is a large and informal group of people from across Idaho working to advance fair employment policies for gay & transgender people by adding four words "sexual orientation, gender identity" to Idaho's Human Rights Act & Civil Rights laws which prohibit discrimination in employment, housing education and public accommodation. • Find us in Idaho Falls, Twin Falls, Pocatello, Moscow, Emmett, Meridian, Hailey, Eagle, Caldwell, Nampa, Salmon, Coeur d'Alene and beyond.
