Support the Fair Pay Restoration Act (S. 1843)

Ensure that all workers have access to justice

Recently, AFJ joined more than 250 organizations on a letter urging senators to support the Fair Pay Restoration Act. You can help ensure that all workers have access to justice by contacting your senator today.

Alliance for Justice urges the Senate to pass the Fair Pay Restoration Act to re-establish critical civil rights protections for American workers lost as a result of the Supreme Court's recent controversial decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber. It is crucial that the Senate pass this legislation before more Americans are harmed by the race and sex discrimination ignored by the Supreme Court's narrow reading of Title VII in Ledbetter.

Retroactive Immunity for Electronic Communication Service (ECS) providers

AFJ urges Congress not to grant immunity to telephone companies who broke the law and violated the privacy of Americans.

AFJ applauds the courage of leaders in the House who are standing up to the Bush administration and urges Congress to pass the House-passed version of wiretapping legislation, the RESTORE Act, which refuses to give amnesty to phone companies for illegal conduct.  On the issue of illegal breaches of Americans' privacy, Congress must side with ordinary citizens, and not with telecommunications giants and an Administration dedicated to concealing its own misconduct.  Congress should refuse to undercut the judiciary and immunize illegal conduct at the behest of the White House.
