2015 Equal Pay Focus

Author: Communications Committee/Thursday, April 2, 2015/Categories: Politics

This year we are focused on passing the equal pay portion of the Women’s Equality Act which is coming up for a vote as early as the week of April 20! A separate bill –A6075/S1 – was introduced by Assembly member Michele Titus in March. It is one of a series of bills the Assembly will take up this session that addresses the needs of New York women.  The New York Equal Pay Bill, A6075/S1, will help insure that women receive equal pay for equal work. Since the Senate passed a “same as” bill earlier this year, if approved in the Assembly, it will go to Governor Cuomo to be signed into law.
