In an clear act of discrmination, the Metro of King County, Washington has considered denying death benefits to only adminstration assistants if they die from domestic violence.
While there is a movement to provide specific support measures for victims such as non-discrimination in hiring decisions or special leave options, this is the first time I have read about a policy to specifically discriminate against domestic violence victims. Additionally, it is targeted only towards a specific position.
While it is unlikely that this provision will pass, it is outrageous considering the history of the city with the Police Chief murdering his wife just a few years ago.
