Today we observe #MomsEqualPayDay to highlight the significant pay gap between moms & dads. Pregnant workers and moms often face biased assumptions about their capability, commitment, and needs, which contribute to discrimination and lower wages. It’s time to close the gap.

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act is already helping countless pregnant & postpartum workers stay healthy and working, as we're seeing through our helpline. We spoke to @brycecovert @thenation for this excellent piece about this critical new law's impact: https://t.co/5HYA5OPEf3

Public Justice is working to ensure people who are incarcerated have access to the justice system & can meaningfully hold corporate & government wrongdoers accountable.

"The suit highlights Amazon’s failure to provide adequate bathroom breaks and details how the company is creating an illegal disparate impact on people with typical female anatomy, Public Justice states."

Taking a stand & telling your story can literally change the course of history. Grateful to @KarenOcamb & the entire @Public_Justice communications team for helping the courageous advocates fighting L.A.’s unjust & inhumane cash bail system have their voices heard.

Do you want my job at Public Justice? It's an incredible opportunity to tackle cutting-edge legal issues with brilliant people working to make the civil courts a forum for achieving justice and rebalancing power. The benefits are also excellent, including a four-day work week.

Last Friday, we filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought against 3 Virginia Tech students by their former employer when they reported wage violations to the Virginia Dept. of Labor.

@ShiraWakschlag @acslaw Congratulations! I’m so glad for this recognition and for the platform you’ll have to discuss disability issues.

@hannnahmmarie @mjs_DC @deepakguptalaw And don’t forget that @BennJennett also argued and won the New Prime v.Oliveira case in 2019, the prequel to today’s opinion in Saxon.

[kgilbride @kgilbride]

On the substance of her opinion in Morgan v. Sundance, telling lower courts they can't make up rules favoring arbitration anymore seems like a big deal. Only time will tell how big of a deal it turns out to be, but my non-impartial take is to share the optimism of @kateashaw1 .

[kgilbride @kgilbride]

I've never met or spoken to her, but as a long-time admirer of Justice Kagan's intellect and writing, I was made giddily happy by the way my name was combined with hers at 55:30 of today's @StrictScrutiny_ episode. 1/2 https://t.co/2nTzuRWo5l

Excellent analysis by @mjs_DC of yesterday's unanimous #SCOTUS ruling in Morgan v. Sundance that the Federal Arbitration Act doesn't allow courts to make up rules that favor arbitration. https://t.co/rx4jNxraIQ via @slate

"Sexual harassment & assault victims deserve their day in court. But so do people of color who are called racial epithets at work, restaurant servers whose bosses steal their tips, & people with disabilities who aren’t given the accommodations they need to perform their work."

[kgilbride @kgilbride]

I was proud to represent Robyn in the U.S. Supreme Court and hope the Court will tell Sundance and other employers they can’t play these arbitration games anymore.

[kgilbride @kgilbride]

First, Sundance cheated Robyn Morgan and her coworkers out of wages by playing games with its time records. When she called them on it by filing suit, they started playing games with the federal court system.

[Public Justice @Public_Justice]

New blog post! Our @KarenOcamb wrote about @kgilbride's recent #SCOTUS argument, featuring reflections from our Executive Director @FPBland:

"'Sundance 'is really playing games,'' Bland says."

[kgilbride @kgilbride]

So Sundance tried to fire him and move the case to arbitration under a contract Robyn was required to sign in order to get her job, a contract Sundance had never said a word about during the eight months the case had been in court.
