Statement in support
* Ending Familial Status Discrimination
Women with children are less likely to be recommended for hire and promoted, and, in most cases, are offered less in salary than similarly situated men. This type of discrimination impacts those who are perhaps most in need-70% of children living with single mothers are poor or low income. Currently, State law protects against familial status discrimination in housing, but not employment. This bill would prohibit employers from denying work or promotions to workers simply based on their familial status.
