Equal Pay for Equal Work.
Equal Pay Day symbolizes how far into the year women must work to earn what mean earned in the previous year. Each year, this symbolic day is used to raise awareness around and to combat the impact of pay inequities. The pay gap varies among different communities, particularly for women of color.
In 2022, women earned an average of $0.82 for ever dollar a man earned. Through the Southwest Mountain States Carpenters, women have a career path that pays equally to men, bridging the gender and wage gap one Sister at a time.
Women deserve equal pay for equal work. SWMSRCC is proud to stand up for equal pay and equal opportunity.
