Nominating 3 New Members to the He-Man Woman Haters Club
Back in September Brett Davis was nominated to the He-Man Woman Haters Club.
Today we have 3 new nominations in WI AD 51 Steve Freese, WI AD 28 Mark Pettis, and WI AD 1 Gary Bies.
All three men voted against 2001 AB 294, which was pay equity legislation that requires Wisconsin businesses to pay women the same as men for the same work.
The Business and Professional Women's Foundation laid out some disturbing statistics:
According to the 2005 Census Bureau, full-time working women, on average, earn 77 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterpart. For minority women the wage gap worsens as African American women make 66 cents, Latinas make 55 cents and Asian American women make 80 cents.
Freese, Pettis, and Bies... join Brett Davis in the club.
It’s a good thing we have Ame Grail running against Gary Bies, Steve Hilgenberg against Steve Freese, Ann Hraychuck running against Mark Pettis, and of course Janis Ringhand running against Brett Davis. Support their campaigns here and do something about pay equity for women.
