A European country has become the first in the world to make it illegal to pay men more than women.
In Iceland, firms that employ more than 25 people must now obtain a government certificate demonstrating pay equality, under new rules that kicked in on 1 January.

The law was announced on March 8 on International Women's Day 2017 as part of the Nordic country's drive to eradicate the gender pay gap by 2022.
It comes after the UK reported a 16.9% pay gap between men and women in 2017.

Iceland's DNA: The World's Most Precious Genes?

Next item on Iceland’s Socialist agenda... Everyone will make the same amount of money... Exceptions made of course for those people who are either politicians, or persons related to or known by politicians. Those people will make extra money, stay at the best resorts and receive additional benefits not enjoyed by the general population.
Well, as long as it’s still ok to pay women more than men...
Just like here, eh?
Don't forget the annual bonuses paid for by taxpayers.
Seems a little off the beaten track for Mohammedan camel humpers …
But they have made no law against women making more than men.
The Muslims’ reach is global and Iceland is pretty much isolated. One could terrorize and control a population quite easily on an island.
Iceland just outlawed meritocracy.
This island country has a population of what? 300,000 or so? And they are mostly all related by blood. So almost anything they agree to do is off the wall. It’s on my bucket list of weird places to visit.
She obviously has a touch of the downs. Corn on now.
Its all Floki’s fault.
Various Muslim terrorist groups have long-standing ties to the IRA with their terrorist expertise/activities.
Perfect socialism at work.
Could have unintended consequences, Cutting Male pay to match Female's.
