Drazkowski offers GOP’s fourth bill to repeal women’s pay equity act
Rep. Steve Drazkowski, R-Mazeppa, has introduced another version of his bill to repeal the Pay Equity Act (PEA), a program started in the 1980s that ensures that women are paid a comparable wage to men in local government jobs. As of Thursday, when Drazkowski introduced his new bill, Republicans have authored four bills this session aimed at repealing the Pay Equity Act. Twenty-two Republicans in the House and Senate are sponsoring the legislation; 21 of the sponsors are men. |
yes repeal a REDUNTANT law
most female actually earn more than men in comparable jobs, with comparable experience
the pay gap, is a liberal lie
fact is there is ALREADY a FEDERAL law on the books

the 'pay gap' is a lie
its total crap of a bill
there is no real gap, its a made up agenda from the politico's
I have 2 laywer friends one male and one female...he makes(charges) 300 an hour, she charges 200 an hour....is there a pay gap.....no....he has 30 years experience, she has 5 years experience
but the politicos will tell you that's a pay gap
and for the ones that "take' less paying jobs.....when you apply for a job, you are a POTENTIAL employee SHOULD KNOW the going rate for that job in that area
If you know a CPA in the new york area with 5 years experience starts at 90k, are you going to accept a job at a 70k rate??? if you do than yes you DESERVE that lower rate, because YOUR YOURSELF lowered your standards
the fact is that ANYONE who is applying for ANY job, should know the going rate for an employee, with such and such experience for that area
as a mechanic, with over 20 yrs eperience, I know that the rate is on 25-35ph, I certainly wouldnt take a job offer of 15ph
the fact is that ANYONE (male, female, black, white, or freaking green) should know a little bit about the field they are choosing and know what the going (a ballpark) rate for the area and amount of experience...if you dont research, how would you even know if you are underpaid..except by scuttlebutt (which most times is not even true)
if you except a job that is lower, you are hurting EVERYONE....
but YOU are allowing the politicos to influence your thinking...
when I said about CPA, I was talking about my SIL,. she is a CPA, she understands what a STARTING salary is, she understands what the AVERAGE salary in a field, in a peticular area is
she knows that a CPA with about 5 years, (kinda starting out, but no completely wet behind the ears) should get about 90k in the new york area..she KNOWS (an educated consumer) that it would be STUPID to take 70k, when the avergage is 90k...on the other hand if she MOVED to North Carolina, she also knows that the average might by only 50k there
why does the left continue to TRY to discriminate and separetae and fractionalize everyone to have everyone waring with each other worriying about what they 'otherperson' gets...why is the left so hilt on classwarfare???
