Pay Equity


Policy #6 from Bernie's Plan:

6. Pay Equity   Women workers today earn 78 percent of what their male counterparts make. We need pay equity in our country -- equal pay for equal work.     


This shouldn't be controversial. There isn't anything in the country that isn't automated enough for any male or female to be able to handle it. And experience has been proven to remove the differences in performance in the social vs mechanics arena that male & female brains seem to be predisposed to. The only thing where gender is relevant is in sex specific tasks such as providing a womb for a baby etc.
