Just imagine if our government took the step taken by the Italian government.

What proof do you have that Lebetter sat and waited until she retired? The stories I’ve read she wasn’t informed by an anonymous co-worker or renegade manager until she was ready to retire:

Do you have any concrete information to back up your claim or is this speculation on your part?

Unionism, as the perfect balance to Capitalism, can be re-imagined in the 21st century.

In any community, the market for a particular type of skilled labor is always limited and can be viewed as an oligarchy. Capitalists therefore hold an advantage in that laborers cannot easily go elsewhere.

Capital is tremendously more mobile than labor.

Unionism allows for the creation of a level playing field — the ideal situation for contractual agreements — where both Capitalist and Unionists wield oligarchic power and can bargain in good faith for a rightly limited resource.

I’m all for improving upon Golden Ages.

I am still trying to come up with a solution other than retribution or damages.

Aside from the inequality Ledbetter got her, pension and her social security, she also has comprehensive benefits for her and her spouse.

I am not sure if sitting, waiting, and then filling is the answer, it could encourage that. Ledbetter is not a hero, she took the safe approach, and she risked nothing in her approach. Her chance at heroism expired in the 1970’s.

Am I being paid equitably, to ask the question and then be told you cannot discuss pay is conflicting. That is what needs addressed and every 180 days according to the Supreme Court. The only choice is asking for disclosure of proof of equal pay every 180 days, if denied then file a complaint. If you are terminated then you have the Supreme Court decision to fall back on, equal pay for equal work and any complaint must be filed with 180 days, they must provide the information, they can not hold it against you for asking.

Corporations could be forced to provide groupings and ranks for pay, put it in front of their employees and let them decide if it is fair or not. I they refuse then they can be sued.

Ledbetter is not a hero, she tried to cash in on discrimination after the fact, call it what it is.

See, because I know a lot of witches and. . .
