Fair Pay for Women Now! E-action



http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/140340698

Target: U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Sponsored by: Center for American Progress Action Fund
A new report found that the average woman loses approximately $434,000 over a 40-year period because of the gender wage gap (the annual difference in median wages between men and women who are employed full-time). Other studies show that moms, especially single moms, fare even worse with the gender gap.

The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act are important steps to making sure that women are paid what they are worth. These pieces of legislation would make it easier for women and their families to recover lost wages due to bosses who discriminate. And they would require the federal government to be more proactive in preventing and battling wage discrimination. But the U.S. Chamber of Commerce opposes both the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act!

Tell the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to get out of the way of fair pay.
