To: The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate
Pass the Paycheck Fairness Act
The Paycheck Fairness Act has been referred to the Senate Committee. It has been read twice and has now been referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. With this petition, it is our hope that we can get this bill passed in the Senate and also passed in the House.
Why is this important?
This bill is important because it will not allow employers to limit wage rates based on sex. Employers will only be able to decide wage rates based on education, training, and experience. This bill will also prohibit employer retaliation to employee complaints, meaning, an employer will not be able to make wage cuts to an employee because of another employee complaint. This is an important bill for woman's rights and if passed will greatly impact the future of woman in the workplace.
