(Overview) Recently, one state in our country made yet another change, or at least is working on change. Let me explain. The state of Mississippi is trying to mandate equal pay for women and the opposing sex. This means that men and women will be earning the same amount, whether it is by the hour or by salary. If officially passed, women will achieve the same pay as men under similar working conditions. Advocates have been pushing the bill for years, but finally got the Mississippi House to agree with an ok working in Ms. Welchlin’s favor. (Background – Federal Law) Cassandra Welchlin is an outstanding leader of the Mississippi Black Women's Roundtable Association. She inspires and helps African American females, who are more likely to be hired at low wages, to be treated as equals as white men or women. Ms. Welchlin’s overall goal is to keep pushing the bill so that black and brown women can have opportunities to make good for themselves. Without unethical companies lowering wages and cutting corners just because they look and are different than the typical white man or woman, A federal law requiring equal pay for equal work was enacted in 1993. Typically, every state has that law enforced so that there is no unequal banter. In Mississippi's case, they are the only state without an equal pay law, which can cause much controversy as well. (Position – Legislative Viewpoints) Furthermore, passing an official law is more complicated than just writing down a new law. The bill has other challenges which say that employers could claim several defenses in lawsuits against the corporation if unlawful acts are present. That goes along with not paying an employee the same as another employee in the same position due to suspicion of a different sex. There are a lot of positive outcomes that can come out of the new bill. The legislation is still reviewing different viewpoints to interact with their decision. If an employee were to win the pay discrimination lawsuit, the employer would have to increase wages rather than decrease wages to match the lower wage. Knowingly, Mississippi is still working on their equal pay law so that their first bill can be implemented and maybe one day spread to other states. (Position – Citizen's 14th Amendment) Rights define a person in America as a free, independent male or female. In the article that I am discussing, it explains how the legislative system is trying to overcome, or in some ways, bring in a new law for Mississippi. The fact that the manner is taken very seriously with Mr. Criswell, as he states that he is convinced that the bill is not needed. He goes on and says that he doesn't like passing laws just for the sake of passing laws. People have their own rights to think or speak about a situation. Especially, an ongoing law that’s being passed. (Position – Responsibility) The Mississippi House has a responsibility for the people of the great state. The legislative branch directs laws that are being formed or processed. The house’s approval is responsible for the people, which affects how they go about their day-to-day life. Responsibility is a big key in politics, mainly in government. People will give their strongest opinions about something that they either like or dislike. Political parties have a lot to do with certain aspects of this new law. There is a lot of back and forth in order to agree or persuade on what is best for the state. Being able to not look embarrassed while creating ideas is a big one in politics, even when people try to deny it. (Conclusion – The legislative Motive, Leaders, and Responsibilities) The equal pay bill will benefit woman with job opportunities.
