The Obama administration is expanding a data collection program aimed at ferreting out abuses of equal pay laws.
President Barack Obama in 2014 directed the Labor Department to collect data from federal contractors about what they pay employees, sorted by gender, race and ethnicity. Obama's new proposal will cover all businesses with 100 or more employees, regardless of whether they contract with the government. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission will collect the data. ...

Will they be “binary” and collect gender data based on male and female? We have been told there are over 50 different gender identities. Will the government data collectors be liberal and divide the data into all these categories??? If not then they are bigoted and committed to an outdated archaic idea of only two sexes male and female. We can’t have that in today’s world...,.....
This is not a job delegated to the current regime in the U.S. Constitution. Employers need to tell these bottom feeding politicians to get lost.
So the 4th and 5th amendments are officially dead? That’s what happens when you start down that slippery slope, like we did when Cruz supporters decided it was OK to ignore Section 1 of Article Two.
the feds want internal financial data?! excuse me??
sorry, private corporations are private. regardless of the size.
the ONLY thing allowing the feds to have ANY financial data on a corporation is if it’s publicly traded.
if it’s private, they can get stuffed.
just another reason to never form any corporation in the US
I refuse to answer or supply said information on the grounds that it might incriminate me!
This thread ain’t about the birther thing, WADR.
Exactly !
The only sex-related right that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect is voting rights as evidenced by the 19th Amendment.
Otherwise, not only have the states never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to police INTRAstate pay equality as you have indicated, but a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate INTRAstate commerce. This is evidence by the following excerpt.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” - Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
And Obama does not deserve to be singled out.
More specifically, although Congress has always had the constitutional authority to stop Obama dead in his tracks with respect to his unconstitutional actions, corrupt Congress has stubbornly refused to do so. So the RINO-controlled, do-nothing Congress is actually condoning lawless Obamas actions imo.
Remember in November !
When patriots elect Trump, or whatever conservative they elect, they need to also elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its Constitutional, Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the new president.
Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
This did not apply to the women in Hillary Clinton’s office.
A bunch of lip service from Democrats, nothing more.
he’s using the federal contractor loophole again. he can pretty much demand whatever he wants out of companies if they want federal contracts.
That’s right; those companies become pseudo-government agencies, and have to put the requisite number of dead-wood preferred minorities on their payrolls (at all levels, regardless of qualifications). When my company started doing this (primarily with white women who were barely working the minimum hours), I (and other guys) stepped back and reduced my own hours. I don’t make a ton of money, but I’ve never had as high an hourly wage in my life and I have a much better work/life balance. The company can do nothing about it because it is too easy to document discrepancies in hours worked (ain’t technology great?).
Solution: Fire black janitors if you have a higher percentage of blacks in that low-pay field.
now it's 'all businesses with 100 or more employees, regardless of whether they contract with the government' (or not)
