The evil idiot wants to shame companies into equalizing pay by sex and race, regardless of the skill levels of the jobs.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I am sure the data will also be posted on public websites so that the aggrieved will be able to see exactly what all of their colleagues are being paid.

It’s Alinsky Community Organizer 101.

These Federal contractors will do whatever their customer wants to get the contract. They will just up the price a little to cover it.

[null and void]

If there really was a gender gap, companies would hire more women to save money.

[mrsmel]

For true parity, men should get paid paternity leave just the same way women do. After all, biology is a racist/sexist construct now.

[DungeonMaster]

Forbidden fruit offered to women again.

[rktman]

So, uh, if there is x-gendered entity, do they get double pay?

[refermech]

That is what they do at the university where I work. There is no merit pay and everyone gets the same raises. Socialist paradise.

[eyeamok]

Why can’t these companies just refuse??
No Warrant, No Records!

[Army Air Corps]

Employers should encourage their female employees to “identify” as men. Voila, gender gap closed!

[Buckeye McFrog]

I suppose lots of payroll accountants are going to be running around trying to verify the genders of employees named Pat and Terry.

[ealgeone]

If there really was a gender gap, companies would hire more women to save money.

THIS POST SAYS IT ALL. CLOSE THE THREAD. NOTHING MORE NEEDS TO BE SAID.

[major-pelham]

Rule based on what statutory authority or is this E/O again?

[Lazamataz]

If I am a company CEO, I simply REFUSE THIS PETULANT MANCHILD.

[Buckeye McFrog]

He’s probably just “clarifying” oppressive Dept. of Labor OFCCP rules that have been in place for some time.

[Buckeye McFrog]

If I am a company CEO, I simply REFUSE THIS PETULANT MANCHILD.

Sounds good until your company lands in the headline "XYZ Company Given Record Fine for Pay Discrimination Against Women"

[cuban leaf]

I have a question regarding the first sentence: Can he?

Can a president just tell people they have to do something because he says so? I think not. Now, if congress passes a law, never mind.

What an ignorant and arrogant little sh*t.

[bray]

The war on men continues.

Pray America wakes

[null and void]

Fewer women will be hired.

[originalbuckeye]

How long before the Feds take control of all the private businesses? Will the Republicans push back on this overwhelming overreach?? Stay tuned, Freedom lovers, I don’t hold out much hope.
