Paycheck Fairness Act

Apr. 9, 2014 | S. 2199
The Paycheck Fairness Act would have required employers to demonstrate that wage gaps between men and women doing the same work were actually due to factors besides gender. It also would have prohibited retaliation against workers who shared salary information or inquired about their employers' wage practices. The bill would have brought Equal Pay Act remedies and class action procedures into conformance with those available for other civil rights claims, and required the Labor Department to provide training and collect wage information. The bill failed.

This is Good for working people.
