I am grateful for the leadership of Speaker Mariano and my colleagues for supporting the legislation.” “I was proud to join my colleagues in passing the Francis Perkins Workplace Equity Act not only to close gender and racial wage gaps but to empower workers broadly across the Commonwealth,” said State Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian (D-Melrose). “Greater pay transparency is a tool for correcting gender and racial wage disparities. Salary information further empowers all workers with greater leverage as they navigate the job market and seek income aligned with the value of their work.” This legislation builds upon the measures taken to promote an equitable work environment with the Legislature's passage of the Massachusetts Equal Pay Act in 2016. Additionally, this legislation was named after the fi rst woman to serve as the U.S. Secretary of Labor – a proud Boston native, Frances Perkins. On October 5, the Massachusetts Senate referred the Frances Perkins Workplace Equity Act to its Committee on Ways and Means. If the Act is signed into law, Massachusetts would be the eleventh state to require employers to disclose salary ranges and to mandate pay transparency. from 9:30-11:30 a.m. and meet on the first & third Wednesdays.
