I have more on the Democrats economic agenda for women and the big White House Summit on Working Families that was held on Monday. The bottom line is that while theyre talking the talk, theyre not walking the walk. The ratio of CEOs to labor-affiliated types who spoke at the summit was approximately 5 to 1. And leading Democrats like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are *not* supporting vital policies such as national paid family leave, comprehensive child care, pay equity (it used to be known as comparable worth), or even an executive order that would improve the pay of low-wage employees who work for federal contractors. Its encouraging that Democrats are *finally* starting to talk about these issues again, after more than 20 years of putting them in the deep freeze. But sadly, the Democrats economic agenda for women is more about giving lip service than about getting real. thebaffler/blog/2014/06/less_than_meets_the_eye
