The White House has halted an Obama administration rule that would require businesses to report worker pay data by gender, race and ethnic groups in hope of narrowing wage gaps among workers.
The plan was announced by President Obama in early 2016 and was set to take effect early next year.

MAGA
Good
Fetgub has WAY too much power.
Now we’re getting somewhere...
As it should be stopped!
Color blind

Ivanka was unwise to stand next to her father and announce she was going to fight for equal pay.
It’s sounds racist to me. Maybe collect it by legal citizen, legal resident and other.
Expect a court challenge soon.
>Fetgub has WAY too much power.
Correction, Fedzilla has USURPED way too much power; per A1S8 and the Bill of Rights, it has a *VERY* small scope of authority.
Shakespeare was correct re: lawyers....
The next thing the Trump Administration needs to kill is the “Hispanic” white designation
But . . . but . . . McMaster is running the WH now.
Affirmative action, race and gender profiling, should be banned.
Winning
I don’t even care if the RINOs at the Chamber of Cronyism Commerce want it....this is the right thing to do.
Freedom means running my business without government dictating payrolls.
OMG - the very requirement itself is racist.
