Why do you have to respond to some a$$hat who screams at you and calls you names? Is he your supervisor? If not, ignore him. Nothing you say is going to change his mind or bring clarity to his thought processes.

My understanding is that it shifted the burden from the accuser proving that pay was unfair to requiring the employer to prove that their pay policies were non-discriminatory to women.
And you could probably predict what would happen: employers would have to jump through endless hoops to do so.

Well, in the first place, it’s an imaginary problem. Women and men earn the same, at the same education and experience levels. In fact, the scale is tilting slightly in favor of women.
However, if you quit work for 10 years to have a baby and stay home with it, your experience level doesn’t match that of the guy who kept working for those 10 years, so you don’t get paid as much.
Simple as that. Childless women earn the same as men.

Actually, La Lydia has a very good point.
There's no reason to engage this guy further. I wouldn't even reply to his email.
And if he persists, file a complaint with HR.

Explain to him that equality is a fairy tale made up by leftists to grow government at the expense of just about everything that makes a civilization function.

Has your coworker read the bill or is he just acting like a congressman and talking about legislation without reading it?

Women belong behind a vacuum cleaner. They should not be paid the same as a man. Pregnant, doing the dishes and taking care of the house is all they need to be worried about. Seriously... /

And you could probably predict what would happen: employers would have to jump through endless hoops to do so.And then they would realize it is easier to just "hire" male contractors for jobs.
The feminist leftists keep putting up laws to enforce the fanciful notion of equality and the men that actually run the businesses will find ways around it. Eventually, the objective, the worker's paradise, will be reached when legitimate private business closes or leaves the country to avoid the harassment and only the government is left to hire people.
And government will hire women. To shuffle papers from one end of the bureaucracy to another. The men will give up trying and drink away their days in a big grass hut.
Isn't matriarchy great?

He’s a physician in our department. I’m a nurse anesthetist so he is sort of above me. The thing is, if I don’t give him an answer, I’ll never hear the end of it. He’ll take it as me conceding defeat. He’s a pain in the ass.

The Paycheck Fairness Act is as much about Fairness as the Healthcare bill is about health. The health care bill is about control - so is the paycheck fairness act.

hand him a pocket constitution and have him point to the place where the federal government is supposed to regulate how much anyone pays anyone for anything, even labor.
If he can’t or won’t ask him what his problem with the constitution is.

LOL!! yes he is an anesthesiologist! They call us CRNAs overpaid gas passers. Funny thing is that while I’m in the OR running the case, they’re usually reading the newspaper.

Hes a physician in our department. Im a nurse anesthetist so he is sort of above me. The thing is, if I dont give him an answer, Ill never hear the end of it. Hell take it as me conceding defeat. Hes a pain in the ass. My advice is the same, with one modification.
Put him on notice that you are no longer discussing politics with him, because it's detrimental to your professional relationship.
If he persists, file a complaint.
You don't have to suffer through any kind of harassment.

Hes a physician in our department.Howard Dean is your boss? My condolences.

The simple reason to oppose this law is that Hilda Solis, Labor Secretary, is pushing it. Read up on Hilda (democrat, CA) and you’ll know what I’m referring to.
