Workers who allege wage discrimination by their employers got a pair of new tools Wednesday after Gov. Andrew Cuomo approved legislation aimed at requiring equal pay, regardless of one’s salary history or membership of a protected class in New York.
Cuomo signed the bill in New York City ahead of a parade for members of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team, players of which are involved in a lawsuit in California against the U.S. Soccer Federation for allegedly denying them equal pay compared to the men’s team.
