White House Backs Bill to Collect Employee Pay Information from Businesses
CNSNews.com ^ | July 22, 2010 | Penny Starr

The Obama administration is backing legislation that includes regulations requiring U.S. businesses to provide to the government data about employee pay as it relates to the sex, race and national origin of employees.

In an orchestrated effort that included a statement by President Barack Obama and an event at the White House featuring Vice President Joe Biden, Attorney General Eric Holder and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, the president and his cabinet endorsed the Paycheck Fairness Act.

The House approved the act in 2009, but the Senate did not approve it. In the 111th Congress, both the House and the Senate have offered legislation that covers a wide range of workplace requirements and regulations, including training girls and women to become better at negotiating pay and benefits, and the establishment of a data base of U.S. workers’ pay in both the public and private sector.

At the White House on Tuesday, Biden was the keynote speaker at a Middle Class Task Force event where he told invited guests that the Obama administration is “on the right side of history” by passing legislation to ensure women are paid the same as their male counterparts.

“Women make up nearly half of all workers on U.S. payrolls, and two-thirds of families with children are headed either by two working parents or by a single parent who works,” Biden said.

Realistically, men have never had that option. Although I have heard that some now try to take that option, it’s really the exception rather than the rule. As I said somewhere else on this thread, I’ve yet to review a resume where a man says he took a few years off to raise his children.

How this is not blatant discrimination based on race and ethnicity is beyond me.

What it is, is back-door reparations.

References to Hilda Solis should always include her affiliation. Please use Hilda Solis (D, Aztlan).

What happens is that enterprising Native Americans have formed shell companies that they use to bid on government contracts to take advantage of these racial preferences. They merely subcontract the actual work to other companies that are, generally, not minority owned.

I’ve seen this happen.

"Hi there, voters. Just dressing the part for the cause."

On the I9 you must produce certain documents that can be used to derive that information. Drivers license and birth certificate contain that information or the ability to get that information.”

The I-9 is the form that the employer must use to determine if the person is legally allowed to be employed in the USA.

Having the interviewer ascertain that they have seen a birth certificate, military discharge papers, etc, is information that stays inside the business payroll records of empllyment.

The location of your birth doesn’t tell what ethnic heritage you are.

This is more info that NObama is demanding which puts more pressure on every business out there.

What's a Hispanic?

Good question. Have you ever heard of the Black Irish? Irish of Spanish descent. Why cannot a black haired person with an Irish name claim to be Hispanic via Balck Irish.
