How do you prove the same amount of work? A woman who leaves early to take care of kids and dumps her workload on others to complete is not worth the same as a man who stays and does her work and his. The man who makes himself available nights and weekends is more valuable than a woman who can't give that much of their time.

If everyone is self-employed, you wouldn't have any labor. Everyone can't be self-employed.

impose harsher penalties for pay discrimination

Just going by this, I would say this is fraught with potential good intentions going bad.

I also feel that employers should have the right to put in an employment contract that employees aren't allowed to share salary information.

If you apply to a company that has such a clause, don't accept a job from them if this is a problem.

I dropped out, it's not fair that a person who graduated gets more. That is just wrong. Dropping out is hard too. I wanna see what those who got educated get paid, so I can compare.
