Pay Equity Leads Issues Facing City, Workers
Pittsburgh, PA: PA League of Young Voters State Director Khari Mosley called equal pay an issue of basic humanity at today’s Pay Equity Rally organized by the Women and Girls Foundation downtown in Market Square.
“Pay inequity symbolizes how we value each other as human beings, and we need to actively work to ensure that we value the work of women and men and people of color equally.”
The PA League of Young Voters stated that they were excited to work with Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, the Women and Girls Foundation, and other civic leaders to ensure that city workers benefited from pay equity. With regional efforts to retain young people at the forefront of local concern, pay equity would be a significant measure in this direction.
“Today’s rally is a great beginning,” commented Mr. Mosley. “We welcome the pledge by the Mayor to increase diversity in his administration and we look forward to helping him achieve these goals along with meeting his pledge for pay equity.”
The PA League of Young Voters engages, educates and empowers young and disenfranchised voters.
