Paycheck Fairness Act passes the House

The US House has passed The Paycheck Fairness Act — a bill aiming to increase workplace protections for female workers and close the gender pay gap. The bill makes it illegal for employers to seek salary history information when recruiting and protects workers who discuss their salaries, while President Joe Biden stated, “Closing the gender pay gap is more than just an economic imperative — it’s a moral imperative as well.”
