— Law banning salary history will be life-changing for workers The law, signed
today by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, is a tool to fight the wage gap, and to lift the
entire economy up in the process. – CHERITA ELLENS and WENDY POLLACK (DIERSEN:
If I had not been denied my 7th Amendment rights in Diersen v. GAO, I
would presented a jury with many examples in which GAO paid its female
employees more than it paid its male employees who had more job-related work
experience, more job-related education, more job-related professional
certifications, and/or more job-related professional licenses. GAO was under
tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to hire, to retain, and to
promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females.)
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/opinion/law-banning-salary-history-will-be-life-changing-workers
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Questions about salary history are extremely common. A recent survey showed
that of 15,000 people currently evaluating job offers, 43 percent had been
asked for salary history during the interview process. Imagine the cumulative
effects of being asked about previous wages when considering a new job over the
course of a career. Salary history questions are a major contributing factor in
both racial and gender wage gaps. And this is exacerbated for women of color,
who, because of the realities of intersectionality, often face both. Black
women working in the U.S. make just 61 cents to a white man’s dollar. For
Native American women, it’s 58 cents. For Latinas, 53 cents. And when a
potential employer asks for past wages, it allows that pay inequity to
continue, impacting future wages and earning potential. Over a career, a woman
of color can lose over $1 million to the wage gap, further widening the wealth
gap. This loss of income has an impact on opportunities afforded to their
families, support for their communities and the economy at large.)
