Equal Pay Rally
Women are not paid equally as men for the same work, and at Equal Pay Day events around the country today, activists are rallying for the Paycheck Fairness Act
.

The nation’s workplaces remain far too deadly and dangerous. At Workers Memorial Day ceremonies, union members and job safety activists are honoring those killed on the job and demanding strong workplace safety laws to protect the living. Be sure to read the AFL-CIO’s just-released “Death on the Job” report.
