Mikulski\u2019s \u2018Paycheck Fairness Act\u2019 Would Allow Employees to Discuss Salaries & Women to Sue Employers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

LANHAM, Md. (CBSDC)<\/strong>– A \u2018Paycheck Fairness Act\u2019 introduced in Congress last week would require employers to show pay disparity is related to job-performance and prohibit employer\"\"<\/a> retaliation for sharing salary information with coworkers.<\/p>\n

Senator Barbara A. Mikulski and Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, both Democrats, said their legislation is aimed at closing the pay gap between men and women and would also address loopholes in the 1963 Equal Pay Act.<\/p>\n

Currently, the law allows employers to sue or otherwise punish employees for sharing their salary information and women still make just 77 cents on their male counterpart\u2019s dollar, according to Sen. Mikulski\u2019s office\"\"<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In President Barack Obama\u2019s Inaugural address on Jan. 21, he said a priority in his current term would be effectively closing the pay gap. During the first few weeks of his first term, Obama\u2019s signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which overturned the 180-day statute of limitations for women to contest pay discrimination.<\/p>\n

Mikulski and DeLauro said the Paycheck Fairness Act would also allow women to seek punitive damages for pay discrimination, establish a grant program to strengthen salary negotiation and other workplace\"\"<\/a> skills and require the Department of Labor to enhance outreach and training efforts to eliminate pay disparities.<\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country.
