The following statement comes from Congressional Act passed during the Kennedy Administration:

No employer ... shall discriminate ... between employees on the basis of sex by paying wages to employees ... at a rate less than the rate at which he pays wages to employees of the opposite sex in such establishment for equal work on jobs[,]requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and which are performed under similar working conditions.

What group was largely responsible for getting this law passed?


1) National Organization for Women

2) U.S. Department of Labor Women's Bureau

3) National Women's Party

4) Presidential Commission on the Status of Women

Respuesta :

1) the national organization of women.

The correct answer is 1) National Organization for Women.

The National Organization for Women is a political activist group that fought for gender equality in America. This organization fought for equality in the workplace, considering that men and women completing similar jobs made very different wages. At this time, men got paid a much higher salary in comparison to a woman who worked at a similar occupation. That's why this law was created, in order to minimize the unequal treatment of women in the work place.
