The whole "equal pay" issue is bogus, in that it revolves around demanding "equal pay" for jobs that may not be equal. If somebody is being paid more because he's willing to go on trips to wherever on zero notice, or is willing to work late hours when needed, then that should not result in an "equal pay" lawsuit.
True. The Ledbetter Act has to do with time limits on filing discrimination lawsuits. It’s really on the periphery of the “equal pay for women” issue. Yet the Obamabots tout it as some giant stride for equal pay for women.
Some liberals talk about “comparative worth” in jobs, as something that we need new laws or lawsuits to deal with. For example, they may say that a secretary has comparative worth to a maintenance worker. If maintenance workers are paid more, then they claim discrimination, because most maintenance workers are men, while almost all secretaries are women. That sort of thing could be the new frontier of discrimination claims in our future.
