The Women’s Bar Association of Massachusetts (WBA) is writing to express strong support for HB 3883, An Act Relative to Comparable Work, as amended. The WBA is a professional association of women attorneys and judges founded in 1978, with over 1500 members across the Commonwealth. At the WBA, our purpose is to achieve the full and equal participation of women in the legal profession and in a just society. Women have not yet achieved full and equal participation in the work place. For over a decade our organization has supported An Act Further Defining Comparable Work (originally filed as HB 1767 this Session), which has now advanced to the House Ways and Means Committee.
