Wait a minute. So a business decision not to pay two people for the same job is now gender discrimination? When someone goes on maternity leave you need a replacement. You need to hire that person, train them and get them all sorted only to find out the person on leave is back and you don’t need this guy anymore.** For a good 8 months you are paying 2 people for the same job which only 1 person is doing**. From a business point of view it is hardly a profit making idea correct?

I can’t believe you don’t see this as gender discrimination. Women don’t have babies for their own sake. The day men start having babies, we will stop complaining! Women do not get pregnant for fun. Regardless of what you believe, many employers let pregnant women go for “confidential” reasons. confidential my behind! As a matter of fact my friend at my old job was let go after having been with the company for 8 years. They came up with a bogus reason to fire her. They reserve the right to terminate anyone with or without reason. If this isn’t discrimination then I don’t know what is!

I would like to see the facts that back up that statistic. The reason I say that is because minimum wage is not gender biased and most multinational companies have a strict pay structure which is based on experience and the contract you sign. That no longer is gender biased. I believe it is illegal in the EU to pay a woman less for the same job a man is doing.

Yes, I know! It doesn’t happen at the time of the employment. As people move up within their respective organizations, the women aren’t offered the same pay as their male counterparts for the same promotion. I see this changing though. The funny thing is childrenless single women have been reported to earn the same as their male counterparts. Unfortunately this entire trend is leaving women wanting to remain single and children-free… Freedom for women doesn’t come without a cost. Haven’t I said this before?
