Equal Pay For Women
https:/
How can equal pay be agreed if the men and women are doing different jobs? Surely it's only cut and dried if they are doing the same job. Otherwise it's just a grey area.

Spath it is pointless to say physical effort deserves more pay. If that were so those with physically exerting jobs would be the highest earners. Two colleagues working in say B& Q male 1 female 1 male. The male gets the heavy lifting the female gets to sort out dissatisfied customers as she is more diplomatic. Different skills but equally necessary.

We didn't need management types to grade jobs. Over tens, sometimes hundreds of years, they were sorted by a supply & demand system. (including men-men and I'm sure women-women)
Some blokes were happy with a steady job in a warm factory a hundred yards from their house. Others travelled 40/50 miles to graft on a site in all weathers.
One could argue that the Labour Government started eroding those differentials when they opened the market up to cheap foreign labour. Now they're trying dehumanise the working classes further by imposing grades on them.

Wow that is as vast generalisation, judging by some of the females on here and the fact that one seems to get much better treatment from call centre's male operatives, than the rather curt females that I have experienced.

One could but then one would be wrong. The issue (and the fight) go back to 1968 and before that https:/
