Demand Equal Pay for Equal Work! >" hspace="14" src="http://dingo.care2.com/actionalerts/takeaction.gif" width="157" border="0"> Forward to friends and colleagues >> Hi lynn, Did you know that the average woman loses approximately $434,000 over a 40-year period because of the gender wage gap? Moms - especially single moms - fare even worse with the gender gap, which is the difference in median wages between men and women who are employed full-time. Demand fair pay for women now! >> 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 by requiring 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! Improving pay equity leads to greater economic security for women and their families. It improves a family's ability to send several kids to college, to set up secure retirement accounts and to make payments on home mortgages. Tell the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to get out of the way of fair pay >> Thank you, LiAnna Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team P.S.
