Lance has pretty much shut up! I believe he knows when he's been outnumbered. I sure am curious to know if he's in the U. S. Gov't. If so, what branch? He's a sexist pig!

..thanks I was going to mention the same thing, but I did want to add, that if a female Dr. saved his life, should she be paid less...the answer is, we should smack her for saving it!!!

I don't think I have ever worked in a factory as a supervisor and been ALLOWED to tell how much I made. You don't discuss your pay. It was one of the rules.

The last 19 years have been in a UNION shop, to where I receive equal pay as the men. We all do the same job, so why wouldn't I get the same pay? I am not saying the guys don't help sometimes, but then I also help anyone that needs help too.

Lance isn't real <grin>.

You're right, I'm not real. My wife and daughters have suffered under the inequality of pay and my faceitiousness brought about the intended responses. I'm just disappointed there weren't more of them. My apologies to just an observer as I tend to agree with everythng you say.

Thank you for being honest. It should be an outrage, but it is not. When I worked in upper management, I was required to "train" a son of one of the board of directors for a engineering job. They were paying him TRIPLE of what I made (someone forgot to tell him about the "DO NOT TELL RULE"). Really burnt my butt that he didn't know how many were in a dozen. Corporate America <sigh>.

Union Lady..to bad Lily Ledbetter isn't on here. She worked at our plant years ago, and has sued Goodyear over discrimination. she was a supervisor and claims Goodyear paid her less than the men supervisors. you can real all about it. I'm not sure of the website, but she's taking it to the Supreme court, I think they're reviewing it now. She was awarded I think $3.8 million, but a judge reduced it down to like #360,000. I think those figures are right, they may be off, but it's close.

Lily worked in our plant. she sued because she said she wasn't getting paid the same as the men supervisors. All I'm gonna say is "NO COMMENT". let the supreme court decide. I know her, that's all I'm gonna say.

The company I worked for filed bankrupt . This was a garment industry and over 20 years ago. I learned a lot about the corportate ladder though.

I have read about Lily Ledbetter. I hope the Supreme Court upholds the lower court.

I have been a union steward in 2 separate unions and an executive president of another. and because our local was #4, you know it was one of the earliest in that particular "industry" which happened be NTEU. That's government, by the way, so there WAS some perception earlier in this forum. Have a great weekend.
