Comments on: Let’s Get Real about Pay Inequity http://blog-aauw.org/2010/07/23/get-real/ Thu, 16 Feb 2012 15:00:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Rachael http://blog-aauw.org/2010/07/23/get-real/#comment-7402 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 00:49:49 +0000 http://blog-aauw.org/?p=5512#comment-7402 From the perspective of young female college student, like myself, who just got a summer job at a time of far and few employment opportunities especially in the midst of summer, I’m happy to see a fairness in paycheck for myself and my female co-workers. The benefit of The Paycheck Fairness Act not only is a comfort to me monetarily, but also to my family emotionally. It puts a smile on their face to see that I’m working and receiving a fairness of pay. Whether or not I’m chipping in for the college bill, the fact that I’m working and earning a fair wage make my parents believe it all plays in to fostering positive self- growth.

The Paycheck Fairness Act is going to sincerely increase a woman’s ability to have fair pair discrimination. I’m all for many of the ways this act would help woman.

The Prohibiting Employer Retaliation will help everyone learn about other’s wages and make sure that they are on the same level if they are doing the same amount of work.

It has been 80 years since the woman’s suffrage movement in the United States and its time to final increase our ability to have the same pay as our male equivalents.
