Include Race into the Equal Pay Law.

Created by L.W. on April 17, 2014

I am asking that the Equal Pay Law be equal for everyone, race and gender. It is not fair when you are discriminated against with your salary and to be told that because you are both females, you can't use the Equal Pay Law. The hardest thing to prove is that you were discriminated against because of race. Under the Equal Pay Law is equal pay for equal work between a man and a woman. But when you have a black women receiving a lesser salary than a white women in the same position, it is not covered under the Equal Pay Law. I ask that Congress go one step further towards making equal pay for equal work, to include everyone race and gender.
