    Trump revoked 2014 Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces order

    in Action/Activism

    Donald Trump has revoked the 2014 Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces order, which President Obama put in place to ensure companies given federal contracts complied with labor and civil rights laws, including certain protections for female employees: wage transparency and a ban on forced arbitration clauses for sexual harassment.


    From the article: "The wage transparency requirement forced companies with federal contracts to provide each employee with a 'wage statement,' making clear the rate of pay, the number of hours worked, the total amount of pay and any specific additions or deductions." This was to help employees make sure they are paid the same as their male counterparts.
