Deb Fischer said "this amendment I think satisfies the desire for all of us to reassert and reaffirm our support for equal pay for equal work. Senator Mikulski spoke earlier about an amendment that I questioned because it ends merit pay, which I think hurts workplace flexibility and truly limits career opportunities for women. My amendment again reaffirms that support, equal pay for equal work. But it also affirms the course of free speech, because free speech includes the right to discuss wage information with fellow coworkers, and that reflects the President's action that he took in 2014 to prevent retaliation from employers against employees who discuss wages with other employees or seek such information from their employers. This is an amendment I believe all of us can support. It again reaffirms equal pay for equal work and the nonretaliation clause. I thank the Chair. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Ms. Ayotte). The Senator from Vermont." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
