Urge Your Senators to Co-Sponsor the Paycheck Fairness Act
The Paycheck Fairness Act would deter wage discrimination by closing loopholes in the Equal Pay Act and barring retaliation against workers who disclose their wages to coworkers. In this tough economy, more and more families are counting on women's earnings. Unfair pay practices make things even harder, especially for those families who rely solely on female earnings. Please voice your support.
Ask President Obama to End Retaliatory Pay Secrecy Policies in Federal Contracting
April 17 is Equal Pay Day — the day that a typical woman's wages finally catch up to a typical man's in 2011. Nearly fifty years after President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act, women working full time are paid just 77 cents on the dollar compared to their male counterparts. And the wage gap is far worse for women of color. In recognition of Equal Pay Day, join us in calling on President Obama to end retaliatory pay secrecy policies in federal contracting.
