Governor Dayton signed the Women’s Economic Security Act this morning in the Governor’s Reception Room in the Minnesota State Capitol. The room was filled with legislators, advocates, and their families.
“The Act will provides access to higher wages jobs, wage disclosure protections, pregnancy and nursing accommodations, ensure that women have opportunities to increase their economic security, and more. It tries to address some of the issues that have prevented many women in Minnesota from gaining an economic foothold and helps provide a pathway to prosperity. This is long overdue!
Mother’s Day is a great time to celebrate legislation that will help all women, their families, our communities and the state of Minnesota.
