More than 50 years after Congress passed the Equal Pay Act, the gender wage gap persists. This inequity is magnified for women of color, transgender, and disabled women. Several factors leave women shortchanged, and CWLC seeks to help confront these obstacles by advocating for a range of solutions including affordable childcare, a livable minimum wage, and flexible scheduling. CWLC fights pay inequality by representing plaintiffs who have been discriminated against, by holding public forums to engage our community, and by passing state laws like the Fair Pay Act, one of the toughest laws in the nation, requiring equal pay for substantially similar work.
