House Passes Paycheck Fairness ActBy Betsy Miller Kittredge on 07-31-2008, 07:35 PM in
The House passed the Paycheck Fairness Act today, by a vote of 247-178. This bill will help end the discriminatory practice of paying a woman less than a man for performing the same job by strengthening the landmark Equal Pay Act and closing the loopholes that have allowed some employers to avoid responsibility for discriminatory pay.
