Fight for

Equal Pay For

Women

The Paycheck Fairness Act, an act introduced by
Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Representative
Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn) was overwhelmingly passed
by the House last July and is now awaiting passage in
the Senate. It is a bill to help put an end to workplace
inequality based on gender.

Forty five years ago President Kennedy signed the
Equal Pay Act (EPA) into law, which made it illegal to
pay unequal wages to men and women who perform
substantially equal work. In 1963, at the time that the
act was passed, women earned merely 59 cents to
every dollar earned by men. Things have improved
over the years with the help of this law, but still today
on average women earn 78 cents for every dollar
earned by men. San Diego Women can show their
support for passage of this important bill by writing
your senator. Visit http://senate.gov and help make
a difference by putting an end to discrimination in
wages for women.
