news! The US Senate passed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act (S.181) on
Thursday, January 22! It will be reconciled with the version passed by
the US House and perhaps be the first law signed by President Obama.
However, the Paycheck Fairness Act
(S.182-http://www.pay-equity.org/PDFs/PaycheckFairnessFactSheetJuly2008.pdf)
has not been passed, though it is on the Senate calendar. Please
contact
your Senators and encourage them to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act
also.]<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">President-Elect
Obama is ready to sign both the Paycheck Fairness Act and the Lilly
Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law during his first few days in office.
But
before that can happen, the Senate needs to pass pay
equity legislation, too.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span class="MsoHyperlink"><b><span
