The Paycheck Fairness Act by a vote of 58-41, did not have the 60 votes required to move forward in the Senate.

I remain committed to the fight for this commonsense reform, and my department will redouble its efforts to ensure America’s women are not treated as second class citizens by employers who refuse to compensate them in a fair and equitable manner.”
