Labor Day Pay 2007

The Women on the Job Task Force wants to tell Congress that women demand protection against gender-based discrimination.

When Congress returns from summer recess in September, they’ll have the opportunity to pass two important pay equity bills.  The goal for our Labor Day Pay Equity Campaign is to let Congress know that pay equity is important to voters and makes a huge difference for women and their families, especially those on the lower end of the earnings spectrum.

Suggestions for action:

1. Urge members of Congress to co-sponsor/support/push the Paycheck Fairness Act (H.R. 1338/S.766) and the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act (H.R. 2831)
2. Remind members of Congress that we will be watching their votes and will remember how they voted come next election.
3. Write a letter to the Editor in local newspapers to raise the profile of the Equal Pay issue and the need to support wage equity.
