Equal Pay Day 2013

Did you wear red?  The red is to symbolize how far "in the red" women and minorities are compared to men.  The National Committee on Pay Equity site (http://www.pay-equity.org/day.html) features a "what you can do" link and directs workers to the Wage Project site (http://www.wageproject.org).

There workers can evaluate their "wage worth" and have a starting point for negotiations.  Yes, negotiations; we can and should speak up regarding our right to earn an equal wage.  We have the technological tools available to determine if our earnings are in line with comparable positions in our areas.
