"I strongly believe that we must address the significant inequality in compensation experienced by an estimated 30,000 employees."

"As it stands, some Federal employees do not receive equal compensation and benefits for their equal contributions."

"We lost an engineering professor to another university that did offer domestic partnership benefits because of his feeling that the lack of those policies was unjust."

"I regard this as an issue of equal compensation both in pay and benefits, but predominantly, we're looking at benefits for equal work."
