Being a woman doesn't warrant lower pay. <BR/><BR/>During the affirmative action presentation in my english class, I learned that in 1999, women still only made 76 cents to every dollar a man earned. <BR/><BR/>A person's salary should be based on qualification and experience, not gender or race. It is absoloutly ridiculous to think that because Ledbetter is a woman that she is any lesser than her male coworkers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33925703.post-11294122391944392212007-05-23T08:30:00.000-07:002007-05-23T08:30:00.000-07:00Court Explores Complexities in Job Discrimination ...Court Explores Complexities in Job Discrimination Case.<BR/><BR/> Everyone should make the same pay for doing the same job. What happened to Lilly M. Ledbetter was not right. Over the years she should’ve gotten the same pay as the men she was working with.<BR/> I think it was horrible that at first they gave her 3 million dollars then they cut it down to $360,000, after that they took it all away. I’m sure she spent her own money to pay for the court case. It’s not fair at all, even though time went by. I think the companies are just afraid to lose all that money. If they weren’t so cheap in the first place none of this would’ve happened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33925703.post-84304450111513549442007-05-23T08:11:00.000-07:002007-05-23T08:11:00.000-07:00Justice Dep.

Sues New York City, Citing Bias In Hiring Firefighters <BR/>When I took that little quiz in school yesterday about firefighters I found the questions really confusting. I did not get them all right. I think they should give the physical test first, then go from there. The written test should go second. If I was in a fire, I would like a strong person to take me down the ladder and out of the fire. I understand that especially in New York most firefighters are white and that isn't right either. Maybe they should change the people that actually hire everybody.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
