A fundamental issue of fairness : Paycheck Fairness Act bill to address gender pay gap blocked by Senate Republicans Ledyard King, USA TODAY What to watch next Replay Video UP NEXT WASHINGTON – The Senate Tuesday blocked consideration of a bill opposed by business organizations that would have made it harder for employers to pay women less than their male co-workers. The vote on the Paycheck Fairness Act was 49-50 with Democrats in support and Republicans opposed. At least 60 votes were needed to end the filibuster and move the bill to the floor for a vote. The legislation passed the House 217-210 in April along party lines as well, and is supported by President Joe Biden. The House passed similar bills in the past only to see them die in the Senate like this one.
