“Ha All Obot voters I’m sure.”

I would not be so sure of that. I was a UPS shipper, and saw the driver every day. I remember only three guys that serviced my company, one was black, but all seemed to be conservatives. This, of course, was long before anyone had heard of Obumbo, 1970s to 90s.
The jobs like driver, sorter, loader, washer are union, management and the relatively few hourly clerks in a couple of departments are not.
I disagree with that thought process.
I say this as a married man with no children. The same mindset could describe employees who have no children versus those who do as feeling they are discriminated against because they somehow get less than those with children.
I do not begrudge any “extra” benefits given to a worker who has children in the same way I never begrudged any benefits to married couples when I was single.
If a company offers benefits to attract quality workers, it is up to them to decide how they want to do it.
DUH!
Who AIN'T???
Yes, you can also argue that companies should be able to pay men way more than women for the same work, if they so choose, but I don’t think that’s right any more than I think it is right to pay someone almost twice as much if they are covering an entire family with health insurance. Let people get paid the same for the same job and then choose how much of that they’d like funneled into the various benefit options.
Interesting UPS is not mentioning GAY RIGHTS and parasitic marriage as the culprit, but that makes sense now.
Funny no one speaks about women getting the men’s paycheck anyways.
If it is a mandate, that is wrong.
If a company offers it as a benefit to attract people, that is different, and that is what I am referring to.
I should be able to run my company as I see fit.
