Yeah, I would agree with amrita. While I dont think its right that some women may not have been payed fairly, this is gonna just open the flood gates to a lot of lawsuits, some deserving and some probably undeserving.

Just another step in the wrong direction for the growing entitlement generation. I’m not saying there aren’t some cases where discrimination does occur, I’m just tired of people being able to blame all their problems on others, and this certainly isn’t going to help that.

Every little change in the right direction helps – and makes a difference. Most people would choose quick-fixes but long-term solutions tend to be better.

More law suits? – I hope not.

More responsible/caring employers? – I hope so!

I think this was a good bill for Obama to sign early on. Equality is a good message. It's set up more fair now. I've been fortunate to not experience this situation in my career but I know it exists in many places. Maureen´s last blog post..MyInternetBusiness: A Review of MyInternetBusiness

I used to work for a national retailer. When I found out they were paying a male 10,000 more to do the same job and I had more experience, I asked them what was up. They offered me 1700 more. I said no... and left the company. 4 years later I get a call about every 6 months asking me to come back. They still won't pony up. It was probably my favorite job ever. I never thought of suing. I am just not a litigious person. Christina thecoffeelady´s last blog post..Playing Catch Up!

I remember a tv ad from the 70s where Batgirl comes to save batman and robin but she leaves them tied up and leaves because she wasn't getting equal pay for equal work. TheSnackHound´s last blog post..Own a Magical Apple

In Greece, many employers dont hire young women because they are afraid of the strict laws that protect the mothers and pregnants so the goverment is working on this!

Our legal system doesn't need anymore lawsuits, so hopefully it will prevent employers from discriminating as we move forward. corrin´s last blog post..The Unusual Suspect

That is just awful. I don’t know how some people sleep at night knowing they have ripped someone off.
