That's what's needed to take it to the next level. IE

*Allow employees to disclose salary information with co-workers despite workplace rules prohibiting disclosure
*Require employers to show any wage discrepancies are based on actual and verifiable requirements and special skills and education without regard for gender.
*Whistleblower clause - Prohibit retaliation by employers against women raise inequity in pay as an issue.
*Provide resources to help American women who did not learn that you even COULD negotiate salary - learn that you can - and here's how.


But it won't happen with the House or the Senate as they exist today. That's not President Obamas fault - just as it wasn't his fault women didn't have people in the Senate willing to do the right thing. He would have signed it had it passed. So it's not just about fighting for the President - it's about giving him a House and Senate that won't obstruct like a bunch of petulant little brats.
