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!

Pay differentials are permitted when they are based on seniority, merit, quantity or quality of production, or a factor other than SEX.

Everyone, without regard to their sex, creed, race, sexual persuasion or the fact that they are a Senator for the United States Congress should be paid equally for their work as all other members of that work force who are doing the same job.

Why shouldnt women get paid the EXACT same amount as men?!?! We are just as competent at whatever jobs there are and maybe even MORE competent at some. I DONT think pay should be based on gender but rather on competency, talent, skill, and character!!

This act acknowledges women are paid less than men and entitles women to have access to judicial review of their claims. This act DOES NOT force corporations to pay women the same amount as men...it states an employer cannot pay a woman less because she is a woman. This legislation provides tremendous public policy by creating strong independent women whose income should be based on abilities not her gender.

What reasoning could you possibly have for denying women equal pay for equal work? Women get no breaks in the amounts of the bills they pay, nor in their taxes. If our bills are equal to men's, our pay should be also.

Equal pay for equal work is an idea whose time came in the last century, and here we are still with a gender gap. It's shameful!!
