Stephanie Murphy on Civil Rights

Equal pay for equal work

To combat this inequity, Stephanie will lead efforts to pass the bipartisan Paycheck Fairness Act in Congress, which would strengthen the Equal Pay Act and establish stronger workplace protections for women. Stephanie also supports raising the minimum wage to a livable wage as women make up 2/3 of minimum wage workers.

We must protect the rights of employees to collectively bargain, and we must raise the minimum wage to a livable wage because if you work 40 hours a week, you shouldn't be living in poverty. Finally, it's time to pass paid family and medical leave because no American should ever be forced to choose between taking care of their child, their own health or a sick relative and their job.
