No More Pay Discrimination on the Basis of Gender
Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: I Am Progress/CAP Action
Sponsored by: I Am Progress/CAP Action
Women may lose $434,000 in income, on average, over a 40-year period due to the career wage gap. That's why it's so critical that Congress adopts the Paycheck Fairness Act. It's already made it through the House. Now it is time for the Senate to act!
The Paycheck Fairness Act puts the burden on employers to show that the difference in compensation between two similar positions is based on something other than gender. It gives the federal government a more proactive role in preventing wage discrimination, prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who share salary information, and sets aside money to train women on how to negotiate salaries.
In today's tough economy, legislation like this takes on added importance - which makes it critical that the Senate act swiftly. Urge your Senators to support the Paycheck Fairness Act to end wage discrimination today.

Paycheck fairness speaks to the truth about the attitude toward women-it's called putting your money where your mouth is.

This is the Progressive and the Fair thing to do. It will immeasurably help women who are heads of their households; and it will help two-paycheck families also. It will help women to go to college, to receive important higher education and to pay off college loans; and to provide for their families and children, including daycare and medical expenses. It will reduce a woman's financial dependence on the men in her life. That is perhaps the best benefit of all {and the most resisted by the old-guard males!}.
