If you say you have a concept of a plan, is that code for having no plan for equal pay or in general?

Why did it appear as if trump’s campaign will not engage with women’s increased workforce participation

Do you have a Plan For Working Families

Will he make sure Companies pays female employees fairly

What will the trump admin do to change the appearance that his has zero interest in increasing access to high-quality, affordable childcare

I don’t know about you, but I did NOT hear trump or anyone in his campaign discuss or have a plan for working families before election 2024. Working families need comprehensive national solutions to pay equity and child care— which the campaign either lacks or outright opposes— but in order to ensure that working families have a fair shot at financial stability, families also need access to paid family and medical leave, paid sick days, a fair minimum wage, fair scheduling, and access to reproductive health care.
