Tell President Obama: End Retaliatory Pay Secrecy Policies Among Federal Contractors

Equal Pay Day, April 9 in 2013, represents the day that the average woman's wages finally catch up to the average man's earnings from the year before. You read that right: we had to get more than 3 months into 2013 before women's wages caught up with men's from the prior year. 

President Obama can take the next step by signing an executive order on equal pay that would ensure that contractors who do business with the federal government cannot retaliate against workers who discuss their own pay. The order would affect over 20 percent of America's civilian workforce. 

Thank the President for his leadership on fair pay and ask him to take the next step by signing an executive order on equal pay.
