Unequal pay often hides in smaller bonuses, benefits, or commission rates, not just salary. California law protects against pay disparities based on gender, race, and more. If you suspect inequity, document your compensation and responsibilities. Remember, you have rights and can seek legal help without fear of retaliation. You deserve fair pay for your work!

The Estonian Government's argument for opposing the equal pay and pay transparency rules, which were adopted by the Council on 24 April 2023, is not reasonable.
First, equality and transparency of salaries is not adding further burden.
Second, Estonia needs to take pay gap more seriously as it has one of the biggest pay gaps in Europe.
Third, ignoring EU law in such important field affecting lives of people is a mistake.
The problem needs to be addressed, not ignored.
PS Commissioners should not be on holidays in times when the EU is facing significant challenges spanning from oil crisis to inequalities.

Today in Labor History March 22, 1972: U.S. Congress sent the Equal Rights Amendment to the states for ratification. It failed. And to this day, women still earn 84% of what men do. One of the exceptions is public education, where teachers’ unions have fought and won the right to collectively bargain salaries based on years of experience, not gender. The first ERA was introduced to Congress in 1923. The 1972 had wide bipartisan support, including by presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter, and seemed destined to pass. However, Phyllis Schlafly mobilized conservative women against the amendment, arguing that it would disadvantage housewives, make them eligible for the draft and cause divorcees to lose custody of their children. This killed the ERA in the 1970s. From 2017-2020, several states have ratified the ERA. However, it is uncertain whether these ratifications are legal, since they occurred after the deadlines. Schlafly went on to become a major player in the anti-abortion and anti-feminist and anti-LGBTQ rights movements.

Today in Labor History March 13, 1979: The Marxist New Jewel movement, led by Maurice Bishop, overthrew the prime minister of Grenada. Bishop led the People’s Revolutionary Government of Grenada until 1983, when he was overthrown and executed in a coup supported by the U.S. Bishop supported anti-racist struggles around the world and the fight to end Apartheid in South Africa. Under his leadership, Granada gave women equal pay to men and provided paid maternity leave. They also banned sexual discrimination and introduced free public health and literacy programs that brought the national illiteracy rate from 35% down to 5%. In 1983, the U.S. invaded Granada. 19 U.S. soldiers and 45 Grenadian soldiers died in the fighting that ensued. The invasion effectively ended the so-called “Vietnam Syndrome,” where U.S. leaders feared that overt regime change, with U.S. boots on the ground, would spark large antiwar protests, like those that rocked the nation in the 1960s and early 70s. The Grenada invasion paved the way for much more aggressive interventions like Panama, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and, of course, Iran. In fact, the code name Trump's used for the Iran war, "Epic Fury," is a variation of the code name used for the Granada invasion, "Urgent Fury."
