Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Friday unveiled a new plan to tackle the pay gap between men and women as well as racial disparities in employee compensation if she is elected president.
In a Medium post, the 2020 candidate touted a set of executive actions that would impose new requirements on federal contractors, and penalize companies shown to have poor track records on race or gender-based pay by ending contracts or refusing future business.
The executive actions would also prevent companies seeking federal contracts from forcing employees to sign non-compete or forced arbitration agreements that Warren said restricts rights to raise concerns about issues in the workplace.
"Forced arbitration and collective action waivers make it harder for employees to fight wage theft, discrimination, and harassment — harms that fall disproportionately on women of color," Warren wrote on Medium. "Abusive non-compete clauses for low- and middle-wage workers needlessly hold them back from pursuing other job opportunities."
Other provisions in her executive orders would mandate a $15 minimum wage for all federal contractors and ban companies that discriminate against formerly incarcerated people from obtaining contracts.
"Make the senior ranks of the federal government look like America," she wrote. "The federal government does a dismal job on diversity and inclusion. The share of Latinas in the federal workforce is about half that of the entire workforce. And even though Black women are disproportionately represented in the federal workforce, they are nearly absent from its leadership ranks."
"It’s time to build an America that recognizes the role that women of color play in their families and in the economy, that fairly values their work, and that delivers equal opportunity for everyone," Warren continued.
Her proposal comes following the release of her plan to help minority-owned businesses last month by creating a $7 billion fund to support new companies run by women- and minority-owned companies.
Warren sits in fourth place among 2020 Democrats in a Hill-HarrisX poll published earlier this week.
If you pander to enough subgroups you just might squeak-out a victory.
Well find a Trump appointed Judge to throw it out ,LOL
“Make the senior ranks of the federal government look like America,” she wrote. “The federal government does a dismal job on diversity and inclusion. The share of Latinas in the federal workforce is about half that of the entire workforce. And even though Black women are disproportionately represented in the federal workforce, they are nearly absent from its leadership ranks.”
I know she’s talking federal, not state and local government. I can say from experience, in local San Diego Government offices, it’s hard to find a white male working in these offices. There are plenty of “Latinas” as she puts it, and many of various ethnic backgrounds. Are we allowed to say “Latinas” anymore; I thought that was somehow bigoted now?
The same federal government which had led the way on diversity and inclusion and affirmative action, has done a horrible job in the opinion of the Elizabeth Warren liberals of the world. That’s a dismal thought, when we all know how much government employment has been a place of great diversity for years.

Not a word about the importance of competency, skills or knowledge. All that matters is your color and gender.
She would quickly get us into a Depression.
If she wins the nomination, that registration card should be our standard counter-campaign sign.
Her minority-championing clout will fizzle.
And after all isn't that what's really important?
Hey, you fraud. You took the spot of someone more deserving. Go away
Fork-tongued one speaking for war tribe. Give us your children, your dollars.
The times must be ripe for her thoughts. Why else would thy go all out. Kamikaze leftists?
All that identity politics and not one mention of her fellow Native Americans? Her lack of loyalty to her people is sad.
I don't think minorities are that into her.

Well, and harvest and forge enough ballots.
Soon to be the tribal states of america. The only possible way to get your share of the free tax money is to overpower the other groups and elect a member of your tribe. Then you can cut off free stuff to the other tribes, give it to your tribe and lord it over them. You will not be a representative anymore. Just a tribal leader who looks out only for his tribe at the expense of everybody else. Someday, populations will get lopsided. And the loser tribes oppressed by the other tribes will start to have coups and revolutions
If you want equality between the sexes, instead of laws. Pay people by the job , or by the piece. Oh wait, my bad, women and minorities are already paid the same as everybody else for the same job. So whats this inequality some folks are talking about?
Grey Beaver have big plan.
Poke it
Poke it with a stick
Run
Run like hell.
Does this mean men in IT will get a raise since women in IT get paid more than men? Or does it mean women will get a pay cut?
