HB 6273, An Act Concerning Disclosure of Salary Ranges on Public and Internal Job Postings

The ACLU-CT believes that all women should have equal access to employment, free from discrimination. We oppose discrimination in the form of barriers to women working in male-dominated fields and the systematic undervaluing of work in fields dominated by women. And we work to challenge unfair employment practices that disproportionately harm women experiencing intersecting forms of oppression, including discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, and religion. Automatically providing the salary range on job postings rather than upon request removes the responsibility on people applying to jobs and instead creates an open dialogue from the beginning of the process.
