Equal pay rally with U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell January 31, 2009

Join U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell in Snohomish Hall 304 at Edmonds Community College to celebrate the Senate's passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to redress workplace discrimination. Despite passage of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, women today make only 78 cents for every dollar made by a man. With a vote on January 22, the Senate seeks protection for women and minorities from pay discrimination. Jerrilee Mosier, the college's Vice President of Workforce Development, and Deborah Knutson, Director of the Economic Development Council of Snohomish County, will speak at the event. Women from the community will share their experiences with unfair pay practices. Get directions to campus: www.edcc.edu/campus
