Today marks #EqualPayDay, symbolizing how far into the year women have to work to catch up to the earnings of men from the previous year. And women of color have it worse — nationally they’ll need to work several more weeks or even months to achieve equal pay. #wagegap
WA is ranked the best place to work partly because we have rules to ensure #equalpay, accommodations for pregnant workers, sexual harassment protections and laws prohibiting pay secrecy in the workplace. We also have strong unions that raise the bar for all workers. #EqualPayDay
We’ve started a paid family leave program offering some of the most progressive benefits in the nation to all WA workers — regardless of their employer. Closing the #wagegap is complex, but we're up to the challenge. We have a lot more work to do, but we're doing it. #EqualPayDay
