Support Women's Right to Equal Pay
Target: U.S. SenateSponsored by: National Women's Law Center
Too many women in this country are getting paid less than they should be. If our leaders really want to stimulate the economy, they should boost women's paychecks by making sure they can earn an equal wage for equal work.
Unfortunately, a recent Supreme Court decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber severely limits workers' ability to protect their rights. The decision makes it virtually impossible for workers to sue for pay discrimination and rewards employers for hiding inequities.
But a bill awaiting a vote in the Senate would help women fight for fair pay. The Fair Pay Restoration Act would correct the unjust Supreme Court ruling and give all employees a better shot at a fair workplace.
Now, with the Fair Pay Restoration Act advancing through the Senate, Congress can correct the Supreme Court's wrong -- and make sure women are earning more than just peanuts. Urge your Senators to support the Fair Pay Restoration Act today!

Equal pay for equal work--why is that such a difficult concept? So many households are headed by women in these modern times, getting paid a fair & equal wage is more important than ever!

Fair Pay Restoration is needed because many women are single moms or simply on their own trying to raise a family alone. Equal pay for equal job performance is only fair, esp if the level of edu., and job performance are equal. Just like color and race, sex sould not matter in most jobs and the pay should be equal. The same equally qualified persons should be paid equally for performing the same jobs, unless one is going above and beyond the call of duty, then they should be paid more accordingly for doing so.

Pass the FPRA now! Gender-based pay discrimination is morally indefensible. The Congress must stand unequivocally for fair & equal pay for women and all employees.

The Fair Pay Restoration 'Act will eliminate sex and other forms of discrimination in the work place. Lets give workers an equal chance at wages and working conditions and get rid of discrimination all together and follow our own Bill of Rights and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

As a single mother, I implore you to support the Fair Pay Restoration Act. It's time to right this imbalance of equal pay for equal work.
