[Music] TEXT: FOUR YEARS AGO Barack Obama
promised to fight for equal pay.
Obama (July 10th 2008): The
problem in these cases isn't that the woman is somehow
unqualified. They're doing the same job with the same
qualifications. And they're being paid differently. The
problem is employers aren't treating women fairly. That needs to
be changed, and I'll change it when I'm president of the United States
of America. [applause]
TEXT:

TEXT: putting the law behind the
principle of equal pay for equal work
TEXT:

gender
