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.
