Ivanka Trump 'was complicit in this rollback in equal pay,” a spokeswoman for Democracy Forward said.
After a federal court late Monday struck down the Trump administration’s rollback of Obama-era equal pay protections, a watchdog group that sued on the matter reiterated that first daughter Ivanka Trump was “complicit” and claimed that she backed an “illegal action that hurt women and that hurt American families.”
Democracy Forward has been particularly critical of the first daughter because she assumed her role as a senior White House adviser promising to advocate for women, children and families. But five months later, she backed her father's decision to hold and review the equal pay rule that was slated to go into effect later that year. She was silent on Equal Pay Day last year.
After the court’s decision Tuesday, Troiano said that “essentially, Ivanka Trump supported an illegal action that hurt women and that hurt American families, and I think that it’s pretty plain and simple.” A lawyer for Ivanka Trump declined to comment to Newsweek on Tuesday. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The new ruling means that safeguard tools against pay discrimination are once again available to nearly 63 million American workers, according to Democracy Forward Executive Director Anne Harkavy.
