Join PowHer NY on April 14, 2015 – NATIONAL EQUAL PAY DAY – for the symbolic day in 2015 when women’s salaries catch up to men’s earnings from 2014. That’s right – over fifteen months of work for one year’s pay!
This year we are so close! If we can pass the equal pay bill (A6075) introduced by Assembly member Michele Titus which matches the bill the Senate already passed (S0001), it will become with the Governor’s signature. Check out some of the links below on how to get involved:
