Happy New Year's Day-Earnings Equality for Women Lingers-2021

The Ball dropped it's 2021-Did Women's Earnings Equality Get signed this First Day of the New Year?

The 19th Amendment-Voting Rights Act-Requires NYS to Implement Women's Earnings Equality in NYS.
The 19th Amendment-Voting Rights Act-Requires NYS to Implement Women's Earnings Equality in NYS.

As the Midnight blue sky breaks dawn today on January 1, 2021-Women's Equality of Earnings is still not a State Law in New York State. It's been over 100 years that women were given the right to Vote-which means that Women's rights generally speaking are still being phased in. Is that crazy or what? Women in the Workforce working Full-Time Schedules are prey to Employers including NYS as an Employer-in issuance of Employment Contracts that did not provide Equality in Earnings for duties, roles and work performances held.

Maryann Maltese, a Tenured Communications Regional Downstate Manager fro 18.5 years; holding Management Employment Title and Chief of Staff Title for Multiple Members within the NYS Assembly and NYS Senate is due Corrective Earnings that NYS acknowledged in 2014 Budget passage through 2017 Budget Passages; MUST provide the additional earning's percentage to Maryann Maltese effective immediately. As an Employer-who acknowledged their misgivings their fault in underpaying Female Staff Members-Members are under Oath to correct the Employment Injustice within state required time frames-NYS has failed to do so.

Maryann ran as a Delegate Candidate for NYS Assembly 12th AD Special Election Seat; Petitioned During State of Emergency COVID 19 Pandemic (because Delegate Candidates must follow this role for any Political Party in New York State that is operational) as it's in NYS Constitution to do so when Party Endorsement from the Local Chapter-Suffolk County Democrats-did not endorse Maryann, and after Suffolk Board of Elections denied Maryann a spot on the NYS Assembly Ballot-Maryann filed Election Law case; Maryann Maltese v. Hon. Andrew Cuomo and NYS Board of Elections; 2020-01568.

Maltese v. Cuomo and NYS Board of Elections was not "granted a Hearing", a process allowed by Supreme Court-but has never been considered during State of Emergency Protocols in rejecting the petitioners complaint when that Petitioner is a Tenured State Legislative Staff Member in Good Standing with her Employer; NYS Legislature. Heading into the Court House-or by virtual means-is the safest way for petitioners to discuss Constitutionality of issues surrounding one's bid for an Election and to discuss if language provided in the Executive Order that "eliminated Delegate's time frame of 37 days bounded by Article 6" was violated because every other State Election, City, Town and School Board Election on Long Island and within the confines of the 12th AD was "provided extended election frames to meet candidate compliance matters as well as to permit Voter's safer options to cast their votes".

Maryann Maltese; a 33 Election Campaign Manager on State and Federal Campaigns-has never witnessed NYS Supreme Court deny a Litigant access to the Court Room-either in person or virtually; as Election Law is a Civil Matter and a Primary Matter during State of Emergency Crisis'-it's imperative to safeguard democratic election processes that We hold dear. As a Tenured Public Officer from NYS Legislature-filing my Complaint in NYS spoke to me as my Duty to the Pople of the 12th Assembly District and denial by mutual peers in access for "scholar discussion" is outrageous and discriminatory in every category going. Usage of Poor Person Judgement approved by Judicial to cover costs of submitting paperwork was also rendered by Suffolk Supreme and end Judicial-deny a Female Public Officer running for Office access to "peaceful discussion" as one of them. What would be the fear of Mutual State Employees to hear an Election Law Matter? It's a great question-and one that must be elevated because "voter registration efforts" is federally and state protected-but access for the Delegate Candidate in any Political Party when one of the Delegates is "a Public Officer" is outrageous discriminatory move on the end of the Justice System and screams it-as a Lynching. That Judgement Decision in Maltese does not permit NYS as the Employer to TABLE my corrective employment wages.

It is a Separate Matter-but holds Value and Consideration in prevention of issuance of Salary required in order for the Litigant (Maltese) to pay for Counsel to represent her in an Election Law Process. As the Litigant or Petitioner (Maltese) in an Election Law case-no one is entitled to free legal guidance or representation-thus; denial of a Poor Person Judgement is a cowardly political move as I'm not earning income presently to pay for Counsel and NYS as the Employer (The Legislature) has not issued my Corrective Earnings. The Decision of denying Maryann Maltese her election law case-rendered fully that only wealthy candidates have access to the Ballot and that not even one of us; State Public Officers-are permitted to use Poor Person Judgement (even though their income met credentials because of State of Emergency parameters shutting off her access to Employment in her Perspective fields of licensure) is a huge violation of law and process.

The decision in Maltese-What does it reaks of-injustice to Women in Suffolk County. Denial of Judicial is a lynching by Mutual Peers for unfounded reasons. Why did it happen if Ms. Maltese is in Good Tenured Standing in NYS-primarily because Women in NYS do have Full Equality; Including Earnings Law -Women in NYS are not included-Verbiage in the State McKinney's Law Books and without it being State Statute-well-Courts are permitted to pick and choose what they want to hear-leaving Women vulnerable at large. Where Women in NYS stand generally speaking and in Suffolk County-directly? In Suffolk County-specifically where I live-State Legislators vote against Women's Rights-and Earnings Equality for over 50 years. Women have only had Civil Rights in NYS for 100 years and in the workforce-we have (Maltese) and are receiving Unjustified Employment Contracts for duties provided and in the future. Hence-Maryann Maltese's non-stop reminder to NYS Legislature-of the need to take proactive measures right now in implementation of her Outstanding Earnings Claim as her Employer so that more Beautiful things will happen for women in NYS. By NYS correcting Maltese's earning claim as they Must-Maltese is shedding light on the Importance that Women in NYS deserve Equality.

Women; without Earnings Equality in NYS-are not earning Equal Wages at all and if NYS continues to allow Women to be Unequal in the Employment Workforce by not granting Women Equality in State Code (NYS)-then a Women once again-are at the Mercy of their Employers and if cases arise at the Mercy of judicial renderings, said Maryann Maltese. That is unacceptable business practices in NYS-as the Employer.

Join me today-first day in January 2021-reminding the State Legislature to Sign Maryann Maltese's Corrective Earnings Equality Law NOW-so that Women have Equality Effective Immediately. Reach out to your State Legislators in the district-who are they? Let me know. Maryann Maltese; is UFT Scholar and a Certified Substitute Teacher-Brentwood UFSD.
