https://medium.com/@teamwarren/valuing-the-work-of-women-of-color-c652bf6ccc9a

Our society and our economy demand so much of women but they place a particular burden on Black, Latina, Native American, Asian, and other women of color. More than 70% of Black mothers and more than 40% of Latina mothers are their families sole breadwinners compared to less than a quarter of white mothers. Black women participate in the labor force at higher rates than white women, and Latinas share of the labor force has nearly doubled over the past 20 years. And at the same time, Black and Brown women have more caregiving responsibilities, with Black and Latinx caregivers spending 50% more hours a week on caregiving than white caregivers.

While millions of families count on Latinas and Black women to deliver financially, they face a steeper climb to provide that financial security. In 2017, Black women were paid 61 cents for every dollar white men made. Native women made 58 cents to a white mans dollar and Latinas earned just 53 cents to a white mans dollar*. And its getting worse: the gap in weekly earnings between white and Black women is higher today than it was forty years ago.

Employers tilt the playing field against women of color at every stage of employment. During the hiring process, employers use salary history to make new offers creating a cycle where women of color are locked into lower wages. Once in the workplace, Black and Brown women are disproportionately mistreated. In a recent survey, nearly two-thirds of Black and Latina women reported experiencing racial discrimination at work.
The path to higher-level management jobs is also rockier for women of color a reflection in part of having fewer networking and mentorship opportunities with members of their same race and gender. Even though Black women and Latinas are often the leaders and decision-makers in their own homes and communities, they hold only one spot on the Fortune 500 CEO list and less than 5% of Fortune 500 Board positions.
The experiences of women of color are not one-dimensional: sexual orientation, gender identity, and ability all shape how a persons work is valued in the workplace. But our economy should be working just as hard for women of color as women of color work for our economy and their families. For decades, the government has helped perpetuate the systemic discrimination that has denied women of color equal opportunities. Its time for the government to try to right those wrongs and boost our economy in the process.

Thats why I have a new plan: a set of executive actions I will take on day one of the Warren Administration to boost wages for women of color and open up new pathways to the leadership positions they deserve. I will:

Promote equity in the private sector through historic new requirements on federal contractors. Companies with federal contracts employ roughly a quarter of the U.S. workforce. By imposing new rules on companies that hope to receive federal contracts, we can take a big step towards creating equal opportunities for Black, Latina, Native American, Asian and other women of color. I will issue an Executive Order that will:

Deny contracting opportunities to companies with poor track records on diversity and equal pay. I will build on existing disclosure requirements by requiring every contractor to disclose data on employees pay and role, broken out by race, gender, and age. And I will direct agencies not to enter into contracts with companies with poor track records on diversity in management and equal pay for equal work.

Ban companies that want federal contracts from using forced arbitration and non-compete clauses that restrict workers rights. 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. And abusive non-compete clauses for low- and middle-wage workers needlessly hold them back from pursuing other job opportunities. Companies that impose these restrictions on their workers will be ineligible to receive federal contracts.

Ban contractors from asking applicants for past salary information and criminal histories. Companies will be barred from winning federal contracts if they request previous salary information or violate the EEOCs criminal records guidance, which prevents discrimination against formerly arrested or incarcerated people.

Ensure fair pay and benefits for all workers. Federal contractors must extend a $15 minimum wage and benefits (including paid family leave, fair scheduling, and collective bargaining rights) to all employees. This will have an outsized effect on Black and Brown women, who perform a disproportionate share of lower-wage work.

Make the senior ranks of the federal government look like America. 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. White workers make up nearly 80% of the senior civil service despite making up only 63% of the overall federal workforce. If were going to demand more of the private sector, we should demand more of the federal government too. My Equal Opportunity Executive Order will recruit and develop leadership paths for underrepresented workers by:

Diversifying recruitment: Direct real resources towards attracting entry-level applicants from HBCUs, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and other minority-serving institutions, and reforming our higher-level recruiting process to attract diverse experienced hires into senior management positions.

Supporting development: Create new paid fellowship programs for federal jobs for minority and low-income applicants, including formerly incarcerated individuals, focusing especially on agencies where Black and Brown women are most underrepresented.

Opening up promotion pathways: Require every federal agency to incorporate diversity as part of their core strategic plan and create support networks through a government-wide mentorship program that centers Black and Brown employees.

Strengthen and target enforcement against systemic discrimination. Sectors that disproportionately employ Black and Brown women such as the low-wage service industry have higher rates of discriminatory practices. But women in these sectors are much less likely to report violations. My EEOC will more closely monitor these fields and bring in top talent to enforce claims in those areas. It will also issue first-of-its-kind guidance on enforcing claims involving the intersectional discrimination that women of color face from the interlocking biases of racism and sexism.

These executive actions are just a first step. We need to do much more to make sure that women of color have a fair shot at opportunity and financial security. That means everything from enacting my affordable housing, universal child care, and student debt cancellation plans to passing legislation to expand protections for domestic workers to creating stronger enforcement mechanisms that protect the right of all workers especially the most vulnerable to call out discrimination when they see it.

Its 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.

* Much of the data doesnt let us fully describe the experiences of people with different and overlapping identities in the workforce. The data here assumes a gender binary but we know that peoples experiences arent. There is much more work to be done to understand the barriers people with different identities face in the workplace.

Because they're not very good, either, thus comparing the two would look artificially "normal."

The reality is that both are way underpaid.

Maybe if she promises enough stuff she'll never actually be able to accomplish, she'll get enough votes?

If her presidency winds up being anything like her Senate career, it'll be filled with a whole lot of speeches with people nodding, a bunch of symbolic failed votes, then blaming the GOP for whatever she couldn't accomplish.

Tulsi Gabbard actually can get things done. She's got a grounded platform that makes sense. Hell, even Bernie has a more fleshed out platform than Warren.

From day one, Warren has always been a person who tells you whatever you want to hear, and you desperately want to believe it even though her actual results amount to basically nil.

Wages are definitely an issue, but it goes deeper than that. They do need to go up, but in a way that can't immediately get exploited by industry by raising prices / inflation.

Asians actually have a higher average income than Whites.

While millions of families count on Latinas and Black women to deliver financially, they face a steeper climb to provide that financial security. In 2017, Black women were paid 61 cents for every dollar white men made. Native women made 58 cents to a white mans dollar and Latinas earned just 53 cents to a white mans dollar*.

What none of these plans ever have is an exit clause. If this is to combat some sort of inequality, at what point is the job considered "done" and these policies automatically removed?

Also:
Ensure fair pay and benefits for all workers. Federal contractors must extend a $15 minimum wage and benefits (including paid family leave, fair scheduling, and collective bargaining rights) to all employees. This will have an outsized effect on Black and Brown women, who perform a disproportionate share of lower-wage work.


She (and others) needs to cut this bullshit out. This is like the Green New Deal where it claims to be about one issue but tries to slip in a bunch of other policies and hopes that nobody notices. Mandatory unionization of all federal contracting employees has nothing to do with boosting opportunities for WOC, no matter how hard she tries to spin that it does.

I hate it when republicans do this shit (say, tie a military budget plus-up into a school funding bill or something similar) and I hate it when Warren does it. If your issue can't get support by standing on its own, don't hold other things hostage to try and force it.

Wages are definitely an issue, but it goes deeper than that. They do need to go up, but in a way that can't immediately get exploited by industry by raising prices / inflation.


Didn't you recently make a topic about how you paid off close to 100k worth your student loans within a year?

A policy that will benefit all workers will absolutely benefit WOC


If we increase military spending by 300%, it will benefit WOC by making sure they're never the victim of an enemy attack. Sound good? We can call it the "protecting women of color act".

Oh my bad, I forgot you have no desire to be honest

You're the one spinning "mandatory unionization" as a policy that should be part of a bill designed to specifically support WOC, not me. I just provided an example of exactly what you did for a policy you wouldn't support, so of course you'd reel from it. I just expected you to be a bit more self aware I guess.
