"The gender wage gap can be measured in dollars and cents, millions upon millions of them over the course of woman's working life. It cannot be explained away by rhetoric about women's 'choices' to take lower paying jobs or leave the workforce. The law prohibits pay discrimination. It has for a long time," she wrote. In concert with a high-power coalition of women's groups, Equal Rights Advocates has sent letters to all 50 governors today, the 50th anniversary of the Equal Pay Act, calling for their help in closing a pay gap that disproportionately punishes women of color and low wage-earners.

In recent months, ERA’s legal team has negotiated close to quarter of a million dollars for our clients to resolve allegations of gender and pregnancy discrimination, sexual harassment, and violations of pregnancy leave-related laws. In one case, ERA helped tradeswoman Jeanine Dubois, who works as an electrician for the City & County of San Francisco, receive compensation and other relief for her claims of sex discrimination in pay and promotions. At ERA, we know that tradeswomen are historically discriminated against at work in male-dominated industries. ERA attorneys also have successfully negotiated a string of settlements on behalf of pregnant women who were denied modest accommodations at work or fired when they requested them. One woman, who worked as a machine operator at a mailing and marketing services company and spoke only Spanish, was retaliated against and fired after taking her pregnancy leave. As part of the settlement, that company will improve its leave notices and translate them into other languages. A second woman, an East African immigrant who works in health care, was fired after requesting pregnancy leave. In addition to the monetary settlement, the company agreed to seal her dismissal records and she was able to get a job with a different employer. “ERA takes a truly holistic approach to advocating for the rights of women and girls,” said ERA Legal Director Jennifer Reisch.  “Coupled with our work on broader impact litigation, like Dukes v. Wal-Mart, and our legislative advocacy on issues such as equal pay and fair treatment of working families, we believe that the direct service element of our work is an essential part of our overall strategy to ensure gender justice,” Reisch added.  “It is also extremely effective in bringing about necessary and timely changes in schools and workplaces.” ERA will continue to negotiate and litigate on behalf of women workers who face barriers to equal employment opportunity and fair pay.
