To: The Oregon State Senate
Tell the Oregon Senate: pass the Paycheck Fairness Act!
Oregonians believe in equal pay for equal work. Yet, women in Oregon still earn only 79 cents for every dollar a man makes. You can’t ask for equal pay if you don’t know you’re being paid less. It’s time to outlaw retaliation against employees for discussing pay, benefits, and working conditions. The Oregon House has acted. Now, it’s time for the Oregon Senate to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act!
Why is this important?
Despite being the first state in the nation to pass an equal pay law, women in Oregon still only earn about 79 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts.
Here’s a big part of the problem: You can’t ask for equal pay if you don’t know you’re being paid less. Too often, employers discourage workers from talking about pay, benefits, and working conditions – sometimes they even punish or fire them for doing it. That needs to end.
Oregon has a chance to lead on the issue of pay transparency. The Oregon House recently passed the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would outlaw retaliation against employees who talk about salaries and working conditions. Now, it’s up to the Oregon Senate to act.
Sign the Petition: Tell the Oregon Senate to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act without delay!
