Although the world has temporarily slowed down due to COVID-19, we cannot. With the legislature on hold, we have the opportunity to flood the committee members’ mailboxes with support for AAUW-TN’s Eliminate the Salary History question bill (HB 2545). HB 2545/SB 2641 calls for the elimination of salary history questions from job applications. Questions concerning salary history routinely keep women in lower-paying positions than what their skills and the current market rate indicate. AAUW can’t do this without your support and willingness to take action.

Call or email your legislators and let them know you support HB 2545 for the economic security of women in Tennessee. Clicking the email address will provide you with a template email that you can send as-is or edit as you see fit.
