5th District Congresswoman Jahana Hayes says the House has passed the Paycheck Fairness Act.  The measure ensures all workers will get equal pay for equal work, regardless of gender. Hayes says allowing employers to self-police their wage practices would be counterproductive and they should be held accountable for discriminatory practices by someone other than themselves.  Hayes added that as important contributors to the household and larger economy, women deserve equal pay. It is a family issue.
