It is equal pay for equal work. My God people.How does Family and Medical Leave address the fact women are paid 79 cents on the dollar?Organized labor created workplace safety, the 40 hour week and benefits. If those are the only workplace issues, you may have a point. But wage disparity, equal pay, family leave and pensions are still active and vital issues for working families.Well the reasons they give for private sector unions, wouldn't make sense for govt civil service jobs. Unions may have been necessary, but now they are not. You have safety regulations, you have a 40 hour workweek, you have benefits. The problem with modern unions, like all organizations is they have to make up fights and cause unnecessary issues to justify their existence. Like NATO, no point in it anymore, it was designed to counter the Warsaw Pact, scrap it, if you find you need a new organization, then make one, but NATO's reason for existing is over, but people would lose jobs, sorry folks.
Labor is not just another commodity or raw material. And that's how labor is regarded among Conservatives and employers, public and private.
Equal pay?
We have FMLA, I thought Clinton solved it
It doesnt, you had two questions.
Ok, equal pay, Show me that report and lets see if it addresses issues like women taking off prime earning years to have kids?
Do women stay as late at the office as men?
Do women do dangerous higher paying jobs lime men?
You cant just look at a spread sheet without taking into account that men and women are different.
Give me an example.
No one opposes it.
Show me somone who does or show me data proving your point.
