On March 24, 2023, CWA Local 1180 and PowHerNY gathered at City Hall to advocate for equal pay for women, coinciding with Equal Pay Day. They aimed to draw attention to the wage gap women face, particularly women of color, calling for improvements to existing laws that enable businesses to underpay women. Rebecca Damon emphasized the importance of New York's leadership in wage equity and the need for protective laws. The rally also supported the passage of the New York State Equal Rights Amendment to further safeguard women's rights by 2025.
For years, we have known that women typically earn less than their white male counterparts doing substantially similar work, Middleton said.
It's critical that New York's laws could be a shield for workers. For New York, these plans fall for action, not silence.
