By KATHRYNE RUBRIGHT | Pocono Record | Published: May 12, 2021 TOBYHANNA, Pa. (Tribune News Service) U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright and U.S. Sen. Bob Casey have again introduced the Locality Pay Equity Act, a bill designed to close the pay gap at Tobyhanna Army Depot. Pay for hourly employees is based on 1950s military installation placements, while salaried workers are paid based on metropolitan markets in this case, the New York City region. Hourly employees are considered part of the lower-earning Scranton wage area. Last year, the bill was passed by the House for the first time, but did not make it into the final version of the defense bill agreed to by both chambers of Congress. The Pennsylvania Democrats introduced the bill again in the House and Senate on Tuesday.
