Can someone explain how the Equal Pay bill in the news differs from current law? All the news articles say that it prohibits employers from retaliating against employees when they discuss wages or benefits with each other. However, that seems redundant since the NLRA already prohibits that.

The Paycheck Fairness Act that was recently voted on does a lot of things, but in addition to other things, it also broadens the nonretaliation section of existing law:

Well I guessed that, but in what way does it broaden non-retaliation? I have a hard time reading the law itself because it's written in "striking" and "inserting" language. Is it a law of substance or is it a political football? What are we losing by not passing it?

vvv thanks
