I am a woman and find it offensive that Hillbillary and the Dems think we need to change the laws so we can extend or eliminate the time to sue for discrimination. I find it offensive that women, or anyone for that matter, will sue their employer for discrimination.
If I don\’t like the job\’s pay, I have the freedom to move on. If I am worth anything, they will offer me more to stay. If they don\’t and I am any good, they will end up loosing.
I am so disgusted with this type of thinking. Another attempt at squashing employers.
\”This is not what Congress intended when we passed the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1991, and we need to restore full protection against wage discrimination.\”…well Senator Kennedy, if that was not what was intended, why did \’you\'(meaning Congress) construct it that way AND vote for it too??
I have no problem with pay being gender neutral….seems fair to me. However, if Congress writes the \”contract\”, like an insurance company writes a policy, you have to live with what the courts decide when a \’claim\’ is made. Usually, both insurers and Congress can amend their \”contracts\”….so get to work.
Kudos to you, ma\’am. This used to be a free country. The Dems reveal more each week their stalinist tendencies and debt to the trial lawyer bar. Please Lord save us from \”Liberals.\”
No one can \’reverse\’ a Supreme Court decision, as the Associated Press incorrectly reports here. They can only change the law that the Supreme Court used as their basis for decision.
Bravo to the Court for actually reading the law and applying it as written. I do think it should be amended, as pay discrimination may not be immediately apparent (or even apparent six months into your job), but that is something for legislatures to do, not for courts to mandate based upon a poorly written law.
I don\’t understand how this is deemed to be discrimination. Didn\’t the employee agree to accept the job? Why should anyone expect a retroactive renegotiation of compensation?
Congress can indeed overturn a supreme court decision by taking the subject matter out of the jurisdiction of the federal courts, and thereby allowing the states free reign.
And what is \”pay discrimination\” but the denial of my right to dispose of my property as I see fit? I think the First Amendment ensures the right of free association, last time I looked.
But then I heard john Edwards talking about how such things as college, a \”living wage,\” and health care are \”rights,\” but firearm ownership is \”a privilege.\” So it\’s no wonder that the country is going to hell with \”thinkers\” like this so close to power.
May you have many children born to you – and all of them daughters. Then raise them to tie their apron strings tightly around their widening, Mid-America Republican girths or just ignore them when they come home from work upset about the idiot in the next office who gets paid more for doing less.
At what point are you going to tell them to Suck It Up and Accept it Like A Girl? I must have missed that part of your narrow viewpoint – are YOU going to fight for their right to equal pay and equal opportunities?
And if you are not going to fight for them, would you expect them to wipe up after you when your incontenence diaper leaks, just becuase you are \”The Man\”?
Get real, pard. May your wife read \”The Trojan Women\” and hold out until you turn deep purple.
Many years ago( 37 to be exact) I had been teaching for approximately 3 years when one day, my male counterpart spoke of the great raise we had receivd that year. When I questioned him he stated he had gotten $1,000 -I had just received $500- we had the same experience but I had credits towards my masters, he had none, we had both been cited as exemplary teachers and both been given many student& parent accolades. I went in to discuss this with the powers in charge ( male) and was told- he had a family- I was single, living at home. He needed it more. Even then I knew it was wrong and would not concede – I finally won & recieved the raise as a bonus. I knew right then that I would teach any daughters I had not to accept that type of double standard. Fortunately,both of my daughters are intelligent, hard working young women that have fought for equality in the jobplace. I would hope that no woman( or man for that matter) would have to put up with any type of discrimination.
*May you have many children born to you – and all of them daughters.
I have a daughter. She\’s going to college for free and teaching in Spain next year.
*Then raise them to tie their apron strings tightly around their widening, Mid-America Republican girths or just ignore them when they come home from work upset about the idiot in the next office who gets paid more for doing less.
In a free country businessmen can pay their high producers less than the idiot in the next office, or more if he wants, because he\’s free. As for girth, Rosie O\’D is a democrat.
*At what point are you going to tell them to Suck It Up and Accept it Like A Girl? I must have missed that part of your narrow viewpoint – are YOU going to fight for their right to equal pay and equal opportunities?
No, because using government power to limit my countrymen\’s freedom is called tyranny. Or socialism. Or Communism. Take your pick. I prefer freedom to government-enforced codes of behavior. You apparently prefer, \”Mommy tell the boys to let me play! Waaaaaa!\”
*And if you are not going to fight for them, would you expect them to wipe up after you when your incontenence diaper leaks, just becuase you are \”The Man\”?
Why not, I changed plenty of hers when she was helpless. But that involves love, about which you apparently know little.
*Get real, pard. May your wife read \”The Trojan Women\” and hold out until you turn deep purple.
claimsgal, I can identify. I have been in the business for many years. In fact, I started when women were NOT underwriters. BUT, your final comments on your daughters\’ success says it all. I probably would not have used the term \”fought\” though, because I would guess it was probably only doing excellent or above average work in the workforce.
I left my first job (started in high school), AFTER I offered my employer the opportunity to pay me more and recognize me with a title. After being told what I didn\’t like, I looked for and found another job paying more money. I became a legend at that first job, because, as I was told, it took two full time and one part time person to replace me.
My thoughts personally, make yourself indispensible. It isn\’t hard to shine as an employee, since so many others in the workforce have such lazy work ethics.
I went one step further in my plan to make myself more important. I started and finished college at night school. One more thing in my profile when and if I have to look for my next job.
I DO NOT WANT THE GOVERNMENT MEDDLING. The only people that need the govenment to handle their job conditions are people who do not want to put forth the effort on the job or the effort to look for a satisfying job, whether satisfying is pay or the reward of doing the job you are doing.
As far as the comments by The Clarion, what can I say. Please do not try to represent me in the workforce!
