San Diego Councilman Ward to Propose Equal Pay Ordinance

[NCTraveler]

San Diego’s newest councilman is expected to announce an equal pay ordinance this week.

In a press release, staff for District 3 Councilman Chris Ward said he would proposed the ordinance “ensuring that city contractors affirm and verify that they provide equal pay regardless of gender and ethnicity to all employees prior to receiving public contracts, and the consequences of violations for pay discrimination.”

The announcement made Wednesday said Ward will be joined by state Sen. Toni Atkins, Assembylman Todd Gloria and his council colleagues Georgette Gómez and Barbara Bry.

The proposed ordinance comes at a time when women earn less than men.
