We're simultaneously in the Senate hearing for #SB105, AKA Ensuring #EqualPayForEqualWork.

Pay equity means higher profits, productivity, and employee retention for businesses. It's a WIN WIN!

Passing the Equal Pay in 2019 made CO’s economy and communities stronger. It's time to advance pay equity by further protecting our full-time, part-time and remote workers!

"Unless we continue to strengthen the Equal Pay Act, women will continue to be paid less than men for the same work" coloradosun.com/2023/01/28/col… #copolitics #coleg

Here's a cool thing about #SB105.

Say you're a worker and find out that someone with your ~exact same job~ has made more than you for YEARS.

With updates to CO's #EqualPay bill, you can get up to 6 YEARS of backpay.

That's pretty cool! #COLeg #COPolitics

"A lack of knowledge about the law is not an excuse to break it" #SB105 #copolitics #coleg

On our first panel, Kaitlin Altone from @9to5Colorado and Louise Myrland from @WFColorado talk about the impact #SB105 will have on workers and women.

Kris Garcia from @9to5Colorado talks about experiencing both sides of the wage gap as a trans man.

He knows the gender bias involved in working hard for less pay AND working hard for the right pay.
