Great, now let's get rid of all other forms of employment "non-discrimination" and preferences. Rational economic actors will hire and fire based on rational, economic considerations. Those who are not rational will be driven out by a FREE market, if one exists.
If women were really paid 30% or whatever amount, less than men for the same job, why would any employer hire a man? All businesses would want to hire only women, right?
Pay discrimination between men and women is already banned by the Equal Pay Act of 1963. If this issue was really a major problem, then Obama and Eric Holder would have the Justice Department filing some high profile lawsuits on the subject. The law is already in place. There’s no need to pass yet another law on the subject of pay discrimination.
Paycheck Fairness Act = Yet another way for lefty politicians to funnel more money to their union buddies (especially educators) and other preferred special interest groups who in turn support them politically.
