We must achieve #equalpay across the United States and its territories for every family. ❤️15 Sep 2026 18:57 +0000at://did:plc:f24bl3qmcxb2gnv2axtctsfz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvlciupoi52bhttps://bsky.app/profile/familyvaluesatwork.org/post/3mvlbthagyr26Unequal pay and lost wages affect Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders ability to retire and their family’s future. To make matters worse, these women lack access to jobs with paid family or even sick time. It’s time to protect our workforce with #equalpay and #timetocare. 15 Sep 2026 18:45 +0000at://did:plc:f24bl3qmcxb2gnv2axtctsfz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvlbthagyr26https://bsky.app/profile/familyvaluesatwork.org/post/3mvla5tzu5l2sIt is not enough to talk about how women in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands are being paid 67 cents to the dollar for the same work and with the same qualifications as white males, we need action to end wage discrimination. #EqualPay15 Sep 2026 18:15 +0000at://did:plc:f24bl3qmcxb2gnv2axtctsfz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvla5tzu5l2shttps://bsky.app/profile/familyvaluesatwork.org/post/3mvl7esepri25Today, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women have finally reached the earnings of white non-Hispanic males from last year. No, 67 cents to the dollar us unacceptable. This is just a small example of the inequality women of the NHPI ancestry face in the workplace💔 #EqualPay15 Sep 2026 18:01 +0000at://did:plc:f24bl3qmcxb2gnv2axtctsfz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvl7esepri25https://bsky.app/profile/familyvaluesatwork.org/post/3mvl6yarhsc24The 67¢ earned by NHPI women for every $1 earned by white, non-Hispanic men reveals a painful inequality. This income disparity compounds over time, impacting the ability to support families and create a financial safety net for unforeseen challenges. #EqualPay15 Sep 2026 17:54 +0000at://did:plc:f24bl3qmcxb2gnv2axtctsfz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvl6yarhsc24https://bsky.app/profile/familyvaluesatwork.org/post/3mvbasug3xi25#BackToSchool can also mean getting the call: your child is sick. Too many caregivers fear answering because missing work to care for a child can mean losing pay--or even a job. It doesn’t have to be this way.
