Kamala Harris released a plan to overhaul U.S. discrimination laws to ensure women and men are paid equally for the same work.
Harris’ pay equity proposal comes at a time when women are a crucial constituency in the Democratic contest. After months of debate over discrimination and sexual harassment in the workplace, women strongly favored Democrats in the November midterm election, and record numbers of women were swept into office.
Her plan would also bar employers from asking job applicants about their salary history. Forced arbitration would be banned in pay discrimination disputes.
