Answer 1

Equal Pay Act

Step-by-step explanation:

The Equal Pay Act is a federal law that requires employers to pay men and women under the same working conditions equally. Simply put, equal pay for equal work.

This Act was signed into law on June 10, 1963 by John F. Kennedy and it was aimed at abolishing wage differences based on sex, just like in the question above.
