Democrats Keep Up The Fight For Fair Pay Even Though Republicans Will Block It

Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) Equal pay is the law but not the reality in the United States. That's why, on Wednesday, Democratic Sen. Barbara Mikulski and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) reintroduced the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would update and close loopholes in the Equal Pay Act of 1963. This is one of those popular, necessary pieces of legislation that Democrats introduce in every Congress and Republicans block in every Congress. The reality the Paycheck Fairness Act is intended to change is a harsh one, as Jocelyn Frye of the Center for American Progress lays out: Full-time, year-round working women today earn only 78 cents for every dollar earned by men.
