WASHINGTON–(ENEWSPF)–April 9, 2014. The Senate today stopped the Paycheck Fairness Act from moving forward with a vote of 53-44 against cloture. The Paycheck Fairness Act, an update to the Equal Pay Act of 1963, would give workers stronger tools to help end wage discrimination in the workplace. President Obama took executive action on equal pay during an event at the White House yesterday.
