sally and I work for the exact same company , we have the same job...sally because she is a woman cant lift as much as I acan, and gets an extra day off a month, because its that time of the month...I do twice the work of her and you say she should get paid just as much as me because her TITLE is the same......how about PAY FOR PERFORMANCE
An extra day off a month for cramps? Where do you work, 'cause I wanna work there! And any job I had that required lifting had minimum requirements for the job, and not different ones for men & women.
It doesn't matter. The employer is still going to be sued and it's cheaper to settle. Say goodbye to raises for ANYONE! We are all going to work for the same crappy wages females accept.
1 pay grade for all is something that Obama has said that he wanted. It looks like he is trying to get it too.
John and Sally both work for a company that has an illegal policy of paying women 25% less than men for the same job.
John and Sally both leave that company and go to work for another company, doing the same job.
The new company has a policy of paying new employees 10% more than they did on their previous job.
Sally gets paid a lot less than John purely because the new employer's policy institutionalizes the sexual discrimination of the previous company.
And you think that's okay?
I think Sally should approach her new boss with industry standard salary statistics and say "I am being paid 25% below what is average for my position and I am a high performer in this company, can I have a raise to normalize my salary?"

I have a friend that has the weight situation going on at his job. There is a female working there getting the same pay as him, but he has to do ALL the heavy lifting which is part of the job. They got her a forklift thing, but she can't even use it so he still does all this for her. How is that fair if someone has to do some of their job FOR them on a daily basis but gets the same pay?

It's not. If she can't do the job, even using assistive devices supplied by her employer, she either needs to be let go or offered a position that she is capable of performing. Company policy is likely that x job gets x pay.
Now Obama's pitting the sexes against each other because racism is passe or to keep everyones attentions off the oil in the gulf and the heavy spending in DC?

I agree, but in today's lawyer happy world she could sue them for discrimination, even if it is total BS.
