HB 245, the pay equity bill, & SB 215, the accommodations for pregnant and postpartum workers bill, were reported favorably out of committee. These bills will greatly benefit Louisiana's women, & I look forward to seeing them make their way through the legislature. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

As I welcome @POTUS to Louisiana today, I'm committed to working with him on hurricane recovery in Southwest Louisiana, the ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and on much-needed improvements to the state's infrastructure. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

I proudly support HB 439 by Rep. Newell. This bill prohibits employers from requiring potential hires & employees to agree to arbitration as a condition of employment, which will ensure employees retain their ability to seek legal remedies for workplace sexual harassment. #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

I support SB 215 by Sen. Barrow, which provides women with the ability to stay employed in a way that's safe and supportive of needs related to pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, improving maternal and infant health while ensuring equity at work. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Louisiana's women deserve equal pay for equal work. It's long overdue. That's why I support HB 245 by Rep. Carpenter, which would prohibit retaliation against employees for discussing wages and bar employers from relying on salary history for offers of employment. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

This morning, I met with advocates & legislators to discuss bills in my legislative agenda being heard today: ➡️ Equal pay ➡️ Accommodations for pregnant & postpartum workers ➡️ Eliminating pre-dispute arbitration requirements for workplace sexual harassment claims #lalege https://t.co/2vFv5gCLps — PolitiTweet.org

Louisiana has a rich Indigenous heritage with four federally recognized Indian tribes and 11 state recognized tribes and is committed to partnering with federal, state, interstate, and intertribal efforts to address the injustice and violence done to indigenous women. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

We must remember that each victim is much more than a number but a loved one, whose family and friends are searching for answers. There is a need for urgent action in order to combat this tragedy. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Today, as the nation recognizes Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Awareness Day, I signed a proclamation declaring the same in Louisiana and have created the Governor’s Task Force on Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls. https://t.co/AvUEHeb9OT #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
