House Passes Fair Pay and Paycheck Fairness Bills; Now, on to Senate

Posted on January 9, 2009 by Daniel Schwartz

To the surprise of absolutely no one, the U.S. House of Representative overwhelmingly passed two employment law bills addressing compensation issues.  

The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, HR 11, pretty much split among party lines 247-171. The Paycheck Fairness Act, HR 12, passed 256-163.  

The bills now move on to the Senate, where the vote is expected to be closer.
