Equal worth? So a Phoenix freight company will be forced to pay the data entry woman sitting in an air conditioned office the same as the drug tested, FBI investigated, CDL certified truck driver handling heavy freight in a 140 degree trailer?
I’m really getting sick of this crap. So here goes...
I say that to make it fair, when men and women have jobs where there’s any physical requirement, the men should make more money! How’s that? For instance, I know a guy who’s a nurse at a phych hospital, and he’s huge and extremely in shape. A very big guy. Well, guess who they always want to be there when there’s dangerous patients being dealt with? Yeah, that’s who. Mister “I make the same as a 99 lb female nurse!”
The way it was originally proposed would have required multi-state companies to pay the same regardless of location. It was aimed at making Right to Work states less appealing than union controlled states. I suspect that someone figured out that the companies would move all their jobs to the lower cost states, rather than what they wanted.
Marxist ideology has never worked, always has created mass deaths and poverty. Free markets and Capitalism are the only way to create a free and wealthy society. Employers have the right to set wages and people have the right to accept or decline. Minimum wage is Marxist and should end because it only creates more poverty and takes rights away from the employer. Governments should not be running their businesses and making their decisions. It is what has ruined all socialist countries. Get government OUT of the work place. It is unconstitutional in this country.
Such laws are designed as poisonous solutions to non-problems. If someone doesn't want to pay you what you're worth, he's stupid. Go work for someone smarter and out-compete the bigoted company. Problem solved, and—so sorry!—no employment opportunity created for busybody regulators or ambulance chasers.
If the left were REALLY worried about women, they'd be against the Muslims. They'd close the Mexican border so that OTM’s don't come in. They'd express a little outrage instead of misguided PC tolerance at the Muslim terrorists.
Instead, they say, “Let's kill a few more jobs while the economy is in the toilet!”
Geniuses.
I went through this in the 1980’s. The secretaries thought they should be paid the same as the technicians. Job swapping for a day didn’t go they way they planned.
The law is a trainwreck. What a great parting gift for conservative control of the House!
Here will be a major unreported impact of the law. The major tool for increased compensation in the private sector and some parts of the government sector is competing job offers. An employer who makes or responds to a competing job offer may be in violation of this law however. This strategy requires mobility so I believe that men can more often take advantage of this strategy. Employers may be forced into increasing salaries of women employees if they want to hire or retain male talent. Employers will most likely respond by curtailing competing job offers and moving work abroad to seek top talent. This law will increase the cost of top US talent except perhaps for female top talent.
Any bill they pass with the words ‘fairness, unfairness, affordable, etc’, watch out!
“A major goal of the feminist manifesto is to downplay and discredit male talent. Their ultimate goal is to take away our jobs and turn the tables.”
They would like to make conservative men submit to lefist women. I do not think that conservative women approve however. Conservative women do not seem to have the same voice because women tend to vote for rats. Control and submission are clearly the goals.
Only looking out for what is best for the country while putting personal gain aside. /s
They don't expect to be pampered because they already are. What they want is to push men around and get their money.
There is no such thing as a liberal man.
