<br /> The Fight for Pad/ Equity: A Federal Road Map
<br /> Updated September 2015
<br /> In 2014, U.S.women working full time,year-round were paid just 79 percent of U.S. men's median earnings-a gap
<br /> of 21 percent.The Equal Pay Act has not been updated since 1963; immediate legislative and executive action is
<br /> needed to enable women to bring home the pay they have rightfully earned.
<br /> Issue executive orders and memoranda expanding pay equity protections.
<br /> f.f President Barack Obama signed three orders in 2014 to address gaps in federal equal pay protections-thereby
<br /> protecting segments of the civilian workforce from pay discrimination despite congressional gridlock.
<br /> Issue regulations to enforce executive actions. To implement executive orders and
<br /> memoranda, agencies must issue draft regulations,take public comments,then issue final regulations.
<br /> M Prohibit retaliation against employees of federal contractors who talk about their salary with their co-workers
<br /> Collect compensation data from federal contractors including the race and sex of their employees
<br /> 0 Require federal contractors to disclose labor law violations
<br /> riPass the Paycheck Fairness Act (5. 862/H. 1619). This much-needed update would close
<br /> loopholes in the Equal Pay Act of 1963 by creating incentives for employers to follow the law,empowering
<br /> women to negotiate for equal pay,and strengthening federal outreach and enforcement efforts.
<br /> Florida: Tell your member of Congress you want fair pay!
