Quote:My wife made the top of her union scale when she left to become a full time mom. As a result of the now 6 years she's been out of the market she would be rehired at...the middle of her union scale. Funny how being out of the market for long periods of time impacts your earning power, no? They don't want equal pay, the want the same pay for less work.

 

 

I believe I unearthed your ideology.

 

Should women be given the same amount of front loaded, or accrual rate sick time, as men being that the functionally of a woman's body, ie menstrual cycles, pregnancy is drastically different even though woman can prove they do the same job just as well of not better? Does that constitute in your mind as "less work" because they have those regular body functions which may cause them to go on leave?

 

Back to the first part of your response. Does your wife make more or equal to her counterpart in her position?
