On average, women are paid just 80 cents for every $1 paid to male counterparts. For women of color, the #wagegap is much larger. #EqualPayDay #talkpay aflcio.org/issues/gender-equ…

How can we close the pay gap? Unionize!
Union women earn $231 more than women without a union voice. #EqualPayDay #1uAAPI

It’s #EqualPayDay, but many women of color won't see their wages catch up to those of white men until as late as NOVEMBER. It is time to #TalkPay in this country & close the #WageGap for ALL women.
