One Step Forward for Fair Pay!

The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act will very soon be in the House of Representatives for votes. (The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act passed in the House last time, but the Republicans filibustered it the Senate and the Paycheck Fairness Act also passed in the House but never made it to the Senate floor)

The LiIlly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act corrects the Supreme Court decision that doesn't allow workers to get wages back unless the discrimination occured less than 6 months prior (yeah, how bogus is that?). The Paycheck Fairness Act closes loopholes in the Equal Pay Act and protects workers who disclose their wages.
