Equal pay for comparable work for women
We need a new commitment in this state to support women's success, at home, at work, and in the community. It is unacceptable that in the strongest democracy in the world, women are paid 73 cents for every dollar a man earns for the same job.
As Governor, I will make it a priority to finally get a pay equity law passed that ensures equal pay for comparable work in New York State.
