Equal Pay For Equal Work That Women Do!
President Barack H. Obama has now signed a bill that makes the above qualification possible.
Historically and currently, there are millions of women in the work place that still do not earn the same wage or salary as the men on that job site, who are doing similar or the same work. This bill intends to level the playing field, to ensure that henceforth, all women entering the work place is given equal pay for equal work.
However, this bill may have opened the 'Flood Gates' for those women who may have been victimized on the job years ago, and have retired or was dismissed. And some trial lawyer may have a field day in court with this new bill, to get the legitimately earned wages paid to his/her client.
And employers may also be scrambling to see just how many of their former and current female employees fall into this category. However, this legislation was long overdue, and gives our women in the workplace some economic advances they so desperately need at this time.
The fall out from this legislation is yet to be realized!
