635 Waverly Street, Rte 135
Framingham, MA 01702
Representative Carolyn
Dykema (D-Holliston) joined
her colleagues in the Massachusetts
House of Representatives
to unanimously pass An Act to
establish pay equity, landmark legislation
establishing equal pay for
working women.
S.2119, which Representative
Dykema co-sponsored in its initial
House form, prohibits wage
discrimination on the basis of
gender. The bill prohibits employers
from reducing salaries
to comply with the law and protects
employees’ right to discuss
their salaries with one another,
while still allowing for differential
pay based on reasonable,
non-gender-based criteria. The
bill is supported by many labor
and women’s advocacy organizations,
as well as the Greater
Boston Chamber of Commerce
and the Associated Industries of
Massachusetts.
“I am proud to cast this vote
not just for working moms like
myself but for my daughter’s future
as well,” said Representative
Ron Saponaro

Dykema. “Equal pay legislation
is a major victory, not just for
women, but for all employees

fairly for the work they do.”
The bill, having passed the
Senate in a similar version, was
sent to the governor for his signature.
