Share Blue - Ivanka Trump is spearheading a Trump administration initiative to repeal rules put in place by President Barack Obama to combat the pay gap between men and women.
The move is just the latest in a series of actions by Ivanka showing that, despite media reports, she is shoulder-to-shoulder with her father and his advocacy for a right-wing policy agenda.
In 2016, Obama proposed the rule, which would require business owners to document worker pay alongside information about their gender, race, and ethnicity. The idea behind the policy was to amass data to highlight pay gaps among minority groups, which would then be collected and reported on by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
But now Ivanka — who claims to be an advocate for working women — has come out in favor of undoing the initiative.
Women in the United States earn on average 80 cents for every dollar earned by men. The disparity is even more stark for women of color. Black women earn 63 cents for every dollar earned by white men, while Latino women earn 54 cents for the same labor.
