WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Barbara A. Mikulski (D-Md.) and Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) today reintroduced the Paycheck Fairness Act, legislation which would help close the wage gap between women and men working the same jobs. On average, women make just 78 cents for every dollar made by a man.
“Middle class families need a raise and more money in the family checkbook. Five years ago we made a down payment towards equal pay passing the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to keep the courthouse doors open. I’m fighting to finish the job and stop wage discrimination from happening in the first place,” said Senator Mikulski, a senior member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension (HELP) Committee. “Equal pay is not just for our pocketbooks, it’s about family checkbooks and getting it right in the law books. The Paycheck Fairness Act ensures that women will no longer be fighting on their own for equal pay for equal work.”
“Equal pay is not just a problem for women, but for families, who are trying to pay their bills, trying to get ahead, trying to achieve the American Dream, and are getting a smaller paycheck than they have earned for their hard work,” Congresswoman DeLauro said. “The Paycheck Fairness Act will help the Equal Pay Act fulfill its intended objective, offer real protections to ensure equal pay for equal work, and see that women are paid the same as the other half of our nation’s workforce for the same job.”

Then we might end up with Jim Ireton, another female HAG. WTF!!
BARBARA how about you work for free or hand over your ck to me i am unemployed.?
Babs:
you're another Baltimoron, just like OweMalley.
I heard she got an offer for a movie roll in the new Wizard of Oz as one of the Munchkins. Good Riddance you miniature douche bag.
So now women won't whine one week a month when their hormones are imbalanced....and won't take any time off to take care of their kids!
Unintended consequences of this will be the reduction of women in the workforce......
Maybe we need to get these morons out of the government force!
7:07 yea heaven forbid we expect to be paid equally when we all know we actually do more work than you lazy foul mouthed beer gutted idiots.
You are a miserable POS who could not keep up with what I have to accomplish in a day.
Better hope your prediction does not come true, you may actually have to do some work instead of surfing all day.
7:29 - that time of the month eh?
They need to pass legislature that make it so injured workers get full pay when hurt at work. 2/3 pay hurts hard working families.
So when I have to do all the lifting over 50 pounds, and she's not able to, we get "equal" pay?
Let's make it equal to the pounds lifted?
Sorry, negative vote here.
Equal is not gender related, either. Men vs. men in the same job under perform and are paid accordingly.
Somebody needs a PMS check!
IDK if anyone here is aware of this, but there is a difference between men and women! Abilities and production rates differ! Where do you live where everything is the same?

LMAO
You are right Jim Ireton is nothing but a HAG on the RAG!
Babs,
You gonna get OweBama and Mrs. Bill Clinton to pay the females on their staffs the same as the guys?
Check back with us after that.
Equal Pay Act was passed in 1963 and signed by JFK. Remember?
just drop already, you long ago outlived your usefulness!
Next FAR PAY law will give equal pay to 17 year olds and 50 year olds. Age discrimination in reverse.
