    WAY OF THE WARRIOR POLITICIAN  WWWDEMLEGALSCENTSCOM

    JUST GOOGLE SEARCH THESE THREE WORDS; DEM LEGAL SCENTS

  • This woman is a thug idiot, if your marginal revenue product is higher than you are paid for then voluntarily ask for a raise or quit. Do not be a coercive thug idiot. Anyone like that thug that acts like a criminal should be charged as such.

  • Manwomanmyth everyone. Check the website out.

  • EVERY place I've worked women were paid the same as men. In fact, a lot of times women did way less work and got paid the same or even more. Just drive down a road that's having construction work done and see who's holding the traffic signs and who's doing the grunt work with the jackhammers and shovels! And what about women living 7 or 8 years longer than men, does this old bitty consider that?! It was old bags from the '70s that went on TV shows spreading this shit. RememberDr. Joyce Brothers?

  • It was already illegal to pay an employee less for the same job based on gender or race. What makes this bill different?

  • @blacksabbathgnr098

    It about a $35 mil increase in budget. Sorry, as a dem I hate to say it but it’s not about helping people. EEOC’s work load didn’t increase that much in the past 6 years but they wanted nicer offices. I just spent two hours researching EEOC’s own reports and the ACT itself. So it’s about taking tax money that could have been used somewhere else.

  • @gnr: "It was already illegal to pay an employee less for the same job based on gender or race. What makes this bill different?"

    In order for the work place to be fair, properly fair, then it is necessary to pass such law's, to make sure that the loopholes are filled & that the worker's, their right's & ultimately their families & the American dream, do not get trampled upon. This is what this law does and that's why it is right!

    Does that answer your question?

  • @SpookeyR this was just Obama playing teeball. He picks a pointless bill that no one in their right mind could oppose and used it to gain points. The bill is clearly irrelevant as the civil rights act and several high court cases have already dealt with race discrimination in the workplace.

    I'm not anti-Obama, but anyone who can't see this for what it is is blind.

  • Govt should not be involved.... PERIOD!!!

    It's their gd business if you feel it's unfair, then QUIT DAMMIT! Are you being held as an indentured servant?!

    Then use your own resources and peanut brain and you open a "fair" pay business.... Idiots!

  • @bone: "Govt should not be involved.... PERIOD!!!"

    No.

    Gov't should be involved when the right's of the individual are being trampled upon and when the justice that they deserve is being denied to them, often merely bc they don't have the mean's to achieve the respect, fairness & justice that is so rightfully theirs.

    But, then again you do support Ron Paul, hmm?! That might give some indication of why you are so politically ignorant.

    You're wrong!

  • @dmgnh2007 No one is making you a 2nd class citizen - there's been no statment of reducing you pay. No talk of depriving men of their right to vote, own property, etc. To become a 2nd class citizen your rights would have to be diminished or taken away. We are speaking of creating equality for all citizens. If anything, that would eliminate citizen classes altogether.

  • @femaleMBA You write as if you do not know or understand how government and political interest groups work. While boys drop out schools and are going to prison in record rates, groups like the AAUW come up with phoney studies stating girls are being short changed, so resources are directed to their interests while boys go on being 5 times as likely to commit suicide as girls but 1/5 as likely to get counseling, etc. This act will attack males. Count on it. My son and daughter deserve better.

  • @dmgnh2007 These statistics come from the US Census and US Labor Board. The majority of studies are conducted by male as well as female PhDs in management, sociology, business and law. Yes, many of these studies are funded by universities, as such could be exgtremely dmaging to said university if falsified. Therefore great pains are taken to verify and authenticate studies according to accepted scientific procedures.

  • @dmgnh2007 Are you claiming white boys commit suicide at higher rates solely due to other races and genders being granted the same rights they have enjoyed for over 200 years? Are you sure there are not several other contributing factors? And again, I ask - where are you getting your facts from since you have yet to disclose citation.

  • @femaleMBA to start: books like Myth of Male Power and War Against Boys. Stiffed sounds interesting, will read. But observation: while AAUW study reports girls neglected in schools, stats on boys were what was alarming. You go to High School graduation yourself and observe and confirm. Girls teary eyed, leaving best years of their lives. Boys hooting like they're getting released from prison. Girls getting top awards. Boys disproportionately going on to worst, most dangerous jobs in USA.

  • @dmgnh2007 Your reference to HS graduation is off topic from equal pay for equal work however, I will briefly address it anyway. The emotional display of girls at the end of this rite of passage is most often attributed to the strong social and friendship bonds, not necessary educational experience. If boys do, in fact, feel as though they are being released from prison at graduation, that points more towards teen socialization, effective teaching techniques and parental support of the child.

  • @dmgnh2007 In so much as girls getting top awards... that only serves to support the point that women are just as capable and intelligent as men. Therefore, we are eually suitable to perform on the job thus supporting the point that women are worth the same pay as men. Thank you for your assitance in demonstrating the equal value of women and men in salary value based on equal intellectual merit!

  • @femaleMBA no argument, and, no need for a law. The market will meet their demands. The law will be used to exploit men. That is the dispute you and I are having. Your answer for why men have not simply been fired and replaced with women that cost 23% less? Maybe corporations just have big hearts for men? I doubt it. They tend to be pretty much bottom line types, whether men or women are signing the checks.

  • @dmgnh2007 In general, I am against government intervention in business. However, when business fail to ethically police themselves it becomes necessary for government to step in. Since businesses have paid unequal salaries based on gender instead of merit for well over 50 years and refuses to alter this inequity, it is time for legal action to correct this. The market only bears this injustice because our "choice" has been bear it or get fired - get less or get nothing.

  • @femaleMBA This goes to the crux of what we have been debating. Businesses go for the bottom line. They have not been basing pay on gender. If a woman earns 80 cents to the man's 1.00, they're going to have to take .10 from than man to even things out, even if the man merits more.  If he didn't really merit more, I don't think they would pay him, they would fire him and hire a woman for .20 cents less!

  • @dmgnh2007 Actually, businesses used a lower wage for females of the smae merit as male counterparts to discourage them from working at all in the 1950's. Companies continue to pay a lower wage not on merit but becuase they have been able to get away with it. Your argument is based on lesser intellect and ability based on gender bias. It's no different than racist arguments that African-Americans are suited to menial labor. Race and gender bias are both based on fear and denial... Not merit fact

  • @femaleMBA Wrong. Business is bottom line. If I can pay a woman 20% less than a man, I'd fire the man and hire a woman for 20% less. If a woman earns less, it has to do with many factors, not cuz she's dumb. My sister in law is smarter and has higher education creds than my brother, but earns 1/3 his pay. Her job is a comfy happy mix of family and work. His is absolute hell, which he does for his family. Some day, the extra work would pay off if it is not transfered to a woman.

  • @dmgnh2007 Your getting off course again comparing apples to oranges. We are speaking of equal pay for equal work not equal pay for different levels of work/life balance. If your brother had the exact same job as your sister-in-law at the same company one desk over, he would be making 23% more. That's what this is about.

  • @femaleMBA : Now your getting back to my point. If the fact pattern you describe was reality, no man would have a job. They'd be fired in favor of women who would work for 23% less. Like the AAUW fraud regarding schooling, this 23% thing is subject to all sorts of confounding factors and is painting a picture that does not exist. No problem, no need for a law, bringing us to: What is this law really about? I think it will be used to transfer wealth from men who earn it to women that have not

  • our president is LEFT HANDED!!!

  • @startoy123 A.that book is as ignoorant as you because you probably think communists are still those "bad guys" from WWII when theyre actully a flourishing society in countries these days. and B. That verse had nothing to do with presidency IGNORANCE

  • @WhatTheHeckAnimation @startoy123 A.that book is as ignoorant as you because you probably think communists are still those "bad guys" from WWII when theyre actully a flourishing society in countries these days. and B. That verse had nothing to do with presidency IGNORANCE

    I would say, "ROFLMAO" but people like you make me so sad. I am so sorry you feel this way because what you are doing and believing in affects me and the rest of us. So sad. God help the USA and God bless us all and U 2.

  • Obama, O Annointed One, speak truth to us from your anointed infallible lips!! Why have you accomplished absolutely nothing in your time in office? Why cant you see disaster and danger approaching? Our faith in faltering, O Exalted One!!

  • @wildetaube

    Geez  Righties are lazy.

  • Fair pay only works if a person has a job. at 10.2% unemployment this bill has little effect. Also yea we are all created equal but it does not mean we are all equal workers. Was Lilly a good of a worker as her comrades or does that matter anymore. Is it equal pay for equal work, or different pay for different performance?

    Self employed people have to go by a different standard because they get paid directly from their performance.

  • @joskemom Oh, please.

  • Wow woolfwriter, you give me alot to think about from your comment. Let me go now and ponder your indepth response to my comment because, I think you may have changed my mind.

  • God Bless You

  • obama is hope of all America, hope to all race of people need united grand leader like him. I hope his future will be breaker of alot of walls that divide our nation. Bless America and president with just acts. With honor of all presidents before him, may his life be guided into highest freedom.

  • First Bill and First Broken promise! He was going to keep all bills on his desk and posted on the web 5 days before signing. HE DID NOT DO THIS, a First of many broken promises.

  • Watch "The Obama Deception" in HQ! This is the truth about Obama that you must know!

  • I read Warren Farrell's book, "Why Men Earn More", however, chapter 11 deals with why women earn MORE than men. I am confused on why the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act is needed.

  • I could have SWORN we already had anti-discrimination laws in place... what is this???

  • we do, but the lady was screwed over because she didn't know she was being payed less, and the case was thrown out because the time period that she had to file a complaint was expired. this protects women/everyone else from such a bullshit technicality.

  • well that's all well and good. I just hope that they didn't put anything into the background of this bill that we wouldn't want, but then again, that goes for every bill they'd pass, and the sad part is, they usually DO.

  • The dogs may bark, but the caravan moves on :)

  • Back bone of my country, you developmentally stunted, politically, socially, & religiously ignorant TROLL, ...my ass!!!

  • Dont hate that im the one that grows your crops, thats food for you city people!! And butcher/kill cows so that you may have food on your table for you and your family!!

  • ...you very likely weren't the first, that's how you justify it!

    Ahh, I get it now!!

    I don't believe that you grow shit, except for perhaps the mushrooms that have poisoned your small brain! Besides the fact that no one fucking farmer grows everything for the entire United States as you so imply, you ignorant jackass, it is actually kind of scary that some developmentally stunted religious fundamentalist FREAK even works on a farm, making anything for anybody or anyone other than themselves!

  • Wow! you really showed your intellagence level there! It aint very high! I never said i grow everthing for the usa. Your ignorance level misunderstood it!! You know everything i grow i submerg it in cow shit!! and ship it to the store! and every farmer does this!!! LMBO!!

  • You show your "intellagence" level every time you misspell a word, you ignorant moron!!

    What you implied is what I responded to. Maybe you need to reread your own comments, but since you are nothing but a hopeless inbred who fear mongers over EVERY little thing, I don't hold much hope that you will even do that!

  • The governments brainwashing tactics are sure working on idiots like you!! Thats just what they want you to do so they can push there agenda threw!! IDIOT!! GO GIVE BARBACK HUSSIEN OSAMA A BJ!! LMBO!!

  • Gee, look who's been brainwashed!!

  • Can you tell me what the Patriot act stands for? And what it will cause on this country? and has already caused?!!!!!

  • The USA PATRIOT Act, commonly known as the "Patriot Act", is a statute enacted by the US gov't that GW Bush. signed into law on 10.26.2001. The contrived acronym stands for Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.

    Professor Orin Kerr, of the George Washington University School of Law, believes that the ECPA "adopted a rather strange rule to regulate voicemail stored with service providers" because "under ECPA, ...

  • thats what they want you to think it is.

  • ..if the government knew that there was one copy of an unopened private message in a person's bedroom and another copy on their remotely stored voicemail, it was illegal for the FBI to simply obtain the voicemail; the law actually compelled the police to invade the home and rifle through peoples' bedrooms so as not to disturb the more private voicemail." In Professor Kerr's opinion, this made little sense and the amendment that was made by the Patriot Act was reasonable and sensible.

    FAIL!!

  • youve been brainwashed to much!

  • No, that's what the Patriot Act actually is!

    You're the developmentally stunted one that is fear mongering and I've been brainwashed!??

    LOL!!!

  • What did you do copy and paste it?? lol

  • And they break there own rules! you dont live in a republic/free country! you live in a control society by your government!

  • This is how they deflate the dollar and bring our standards of living down. They are not for the america we know and hold dear to our hearts. They are for themselves.

    Socialism works until you run outta other peoples money.

  • Is that your justification for misogyny and discrimination!??

  • The only thing that should matter in this case is whether or not the person CAN do and DOES do the job well.

  • I agree, but loyalty to the company does count whether you think so or not.

  • Why would you say that? Why don't you just support him and stop hating

  • go search new world order then get back to me and tell me if you stell like him!!

  • What New World Order are you talking about? There's like a thousand of them

  • Ive only herd of one called the new world order/ONE GOVERMENT were the plan is to have a center bank and mark ever one! (mark of the beast) you must take the mark or be killed just like its written in the bibble!! Dont believe me? youtube/google NEW WORLD ORDER!!

  • Quit with the conspiracy nonsense. You can't even spell words.

  • Yea thats why its on the news!! and when you step back and look back over time at all the things that have taken place it all makes since!! plus it is written and happening right now in front of your face!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Once again, YOU CAN'T SPELL WORDS.  When I hear it from someone with some intelligence, maybe I'll believe it.

  • O forgive me profesional I didnt no this was a spelling bee!! I thought this was you tube!!! LOL dont believe me and fall for the new world order of your loving president and burn in hell for eternity! for all I care!! Is that spelled right teacher!!!

  • It is youtube, you're right. But when you're trying to sell somebody a serious idea like NWO, you should be able to complete a sentence. All you conspiracy nuts are the same. Go hang out with Rosie O'Donnell.

  • New world order!! Its written on the back of the dollar! Novus ordo seclorum and you call it conspiracy?! IDIOT do some research!!

  • LOL!!!

    It's not real, you jackass!!

  • Thats what they want idiots like you to think!! Mean while they tax you brainwash you and construct a new world order.

  • The NWO is a marketing gimmick, created by the likes of Ron Paul and Alex Jones! I don't even agree that it exists, but I understand that if it does exist it is within the fear mongering ideology of those who can't stop circle jerking over it...

    Goodnight, failure!

  • Then what do you call the end of the US dollar? And the beganing of a one world currency. What do you call the nafta??What do you call the computer chip that the government wants to put in you to track you??!!(mark of the beast) What do you call a government created swine flu?? What do you call 9/11? I call it an inside job! (Steel melts at 2000 degrees by the way) What about secret societys?? And then theres revelations?? Goodnight UNAWARE AMERI-CANT!!!

  • The US dollar is doing well, considering the current economic climate. I don't see a one world currency, but if I do, I'll let you and Gene Roddenberry know about it, you might be foaming at the mouth about it, but, I'm sure that he will be proud.

    There are no computer chips as you described, no gov't created flu's, no gov't conspiracy of 9.11, you're an idiot!! And you are fear mongering about things that you don't understand, you sad, sad, pathetic little troll!!

  • "The US dollar is doing well" Really?? You dont see a one world currency? maybe you should researce the euro!! No computer chips? What do you call the chips inside your id/car Now all they need to do is put it in us. Theres been familys thats vol taken it already!! youtube it!! the gov created the swine flu! They also created 9/11 and again steel melts at 2000 degrees! If it was that hot in the building fire fighters wouldnt have entered. and the remains would be melted! So what about building 7

  • blahblahblahblah...one world currency...blahblahblahblahbla­h...computer chips..blahblahblah...swine flu..blahblahblah..9.11...blah­blahblah...building 7...blahblahblahblahblah!!!!

    Soo, basically, ...you blame technology, right!! As our society makes advancements in things you use a self-fulfilling prophecy ideology to justify your fear mongering conspiracy theories! Tho, you aren't the only one to blame, bc a lot of other motherfucking idiots do it and have done it for a long time and..

  • AND YOU CALL ME STUPID? THE PROOF IS SITTING RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE! its called the internet! idiot!!

  • I won't be called an idiot by someone who can't construct a sentence. I know what the fucking NWO is. In fact I probably know more about it than you. Maybe it's you who should research. Go away.

  • Then why do you deny it?????!!!! The governments after you but yet you deny it!

  • LOL, ...who the fuck do you think you are talking to?? Who the fuck do you think I was talking to!??

    Wow, look at that massive fail?!!

  • A message to hogsonquads: go sow your seeds of deception elsewhere. We can see that Obama is clearly for truth and justice, if you weren't so blind you could see. However, the truth is only apparent to those who have seen it before. For one so easily hoodwinked as you, you will wander a long road in darkness, and when you die, your soul will not have learned anything, and will wither, shrivel, and may you be reincarnated as a fly on the ass of a hog.

  • Seeds of deception?? i call that obama!! do some ressearch, the idiot aint even your president. hes just a puppet to the higher people bankers, trill,billionares that run the country and the world do some research idiot! watch the obama deception on youtube!! wait your in denial!! Im sorry!!

  • I don't believe in the NWO honestly, but I do understand the idea that if it actually does exist at all it does so within the realm of ideological fear mongering. So, if the NWO exists at all, it was created by the very ppl that fear monger about it! Ron Paul and Alex Jones may not have specifically invented or created the NWO but, they are profiting from it and they, and those like them, essentially are the NWO.

    You spread the same fear mongering conspiracy theories!

    YOU ARE THE NWO!!

  • Im just waking people like you up!!!

  • watch the obama deception on youtube and you will believe it!!

  • NOVUS ORDO SECULORUM: a world order based on our common law, my friend, where no one state is attacked because it is less powerful, but all states are equal in the eyes of the law. That is the whole goal of the new world order: so you don't blow yourself up. Be grateful, and stop trying to pull down what we have built, not for the glory of any one man, but for the good of All!

  • I find it funny that the democrats are the new republicans, having to defend the republic against the uneducated. Go look up republic on wikipedia, if you want us to look up NEW WORLD ORDER. THERE IS NO DEFINITION OF REPUBLIC ON WIKIPEDIA, ask yourself why THAT is. If you go in the comments, you'll see dozens of pages of people saying that the definition is wrong. As long as you don't understand or know the meaning of political science, you will continue to be disenfranchised :(

  • totally brainwashed!!

  • Go watch The Obama Deception on ChangeDaChannel's YouTube channel, then tell me what you think about Obama.

  • PROPOGANDA FAIL: you've been sucked in by an even higher deception. the new right propaganda sucks! let's work together to fix our government!

  • Thank you!

    I agree with you wholeheartedly!!

  • how did my comment get negative votes, when I am the one who is educated, and you are the one taken in by right wing propoganda? this is a sad state of affairs, and I don't think it bodes well for the future of the country. The seeds of ignorance have been sown deep, and right wing propagandists appeal to uneducated left-wing radicals, and the hate coming from there is worse than even the South could spawn.

  • vice grip says obama alone cant fix this economical crisis that affect people from all races vice grip sing one of the world best top song 4 obama about the economical crisis that affect all of us

  • Watching the libs and the media slobber all over this empty suit as he flushes the economy down the toilet is getting truly entertaining. I wonder what they are going to do when inflation hits double digits and the unemployment rate does the same? Congratulate him for his real great work?

  • The Ledbetter Bill is BS it is a "Feel Good" piece of legislation designed to suck in the idiots in society who are more interested in being victims than in succeeding. This is a sure sign of Hypocrisy, Obama signs this BS bill while his wife draws a 6 figure income for sitting on her ass in an office.

  • No, there is no requirement for the people to "obey" the government. Governments elected by the people are not elected to rule over the people they are elected to lead the people. Leadership has no guarantee of followership. The right of redress of grievance is a part of the system of the U.S. government.

  • Yes, when a government is demorcratically elected and there has not been gross violations against those elligible to vote or disenfranchising them, then the gov't should be obeyed, but this doesn't mean people can't complain. Per amendment 1 of US Constitution, "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom to petition the Government for a redress of grievances..."

    so yes, we can and SHOULD complain.

  • If freedom and equality are tenents of "communitst ideology" thanour founding documents (and court rulings) are communist. First of all, freedom and equality are not solely reserved to neither the socioeconomic structure of communism nor the political ideaology of communinsm. Second of all, "Obeying the government elected by the majority is called "democracy". " is def democratic, but with democracy comes change, so should the masses want "freedom and equality" they should get it, and u obey it

  • actually, voting is undemocratic! it's tyranny of the majority, so it's "ochlocracy," the opposite of democracy.

    only in a republic can you vote. get an education before you believe in propoganda.

  • not the rothschilds only, thers also the rockafellars

  • are you serious? imagine if we all felt the way you do, where would this great nation be? Yes I agree, that there is a reallity that we all live in, but we have the ability to effect change and to create a more perfect union and in realizing our ideals and precepts that we put forth through our governing laws. your comments teeters on the brink of hegemonostic argument, which is dangerous for all, and it is in that communism lies. Your views of "accepting reality" sound comunist, fascist even?

  • I've always been a strong proponent of equal rights/responsibilities. Here's an interesting factoid: when people negotiate their salary - on average they get 20% more starting pay. And most women don't negotiate - they take the first offer.  Learning to negotiate would eliminate 20 out of 22 cents of pay inequity. Women, we have to take responsibility for our outcomes ourselves - that's a fact in business.

  • nice PR job, what damn u doing P

  • 9:24

  • lol

  • If employers all paid women the same as men for the same work, this law would not be needed. They don't, and that's wrong. So we need this law. It's simply about fairness and equality.

  • Women give birth to men. That's where we came from. It's about time us men grow up and care about women all the time. I hope we can give women the options of life and choice, the freedom and equality in the workplace, and ending demonic acts of sexual violence committed against them. I would want my future daughters to get the same pay my future sons would receive. In America, ALL are created EQUAL!

  • Reason # 4,152,125,856 not to open a business in the United States. Just what we need during an economic crisis, threaten businessmen with more lawsuits. Brilliant

    Hey heres a better idea, how bout we get all the lawyers out of our lives and out of our government . Just do away with the godawful profession altogether.

  • As long as EVERYTHING is equal-the broads' skillsets, education, performance and job responsibilities are EQUAL to the man's...If not, this bill set us back 40 years. BTW-I am a woman with 30 years experience working as an Engineer

  • narutowizpower

    Reality is that everyone is equal.

    This is dealing with reality. Making it equal for equal people.

    If you "don't care because I am not a woman", then that just proves how selfish you are.

    As long as you have all the rights screw the others that don't? Is that it?

  • Suffragette city Wham Bam Thank You Mam

  • This was one of the promises he made during the campaign and he followed through with it...Cool!

    John McCain would have ripped that bill up as soon as it hit his desk lol!

  • thewillofthe313 - McCain said passing this bill would be too expensive. It's pretty dang expensive to the families living on less because a woman is being treated as if she's less worthy due to her gender.

  • All one has to do is tale a brief glance in any office to realize that women are far from victims of discrimination. its ridiculous!

  • It's not just for women

  • zionists = the new nazis

  • sorry but i can't reply to wet brains...

  • Comment removed

  • Yea for Lily Ledbetter. Fair pay is logical for the United States. The only people who could object to workers getting the same pay for the same job would be those who think women are not equal to men. Thank goodness our government will support equal rights.

  • Since women in my section get paid more than the men they are gonna hate it when I file my suit.

  • Geographer76, why would they hate it? If you are doing the same job as them, that is. And the company is who you are suing, so it isn't like the money is coming from them. I'm sure you are such good company they will be happy for you to be getting paid fairly.

  • They will hate it because when I get done suing the company into bankruptcy those females will be on unemployment.

  • I'm wondering if you feel that your mother or sister should be paid less than a man for doing the same job to the same level...

  • As a man who works for a corporation that frowns on employees disscussing what they get paid (even though employees generally violate that company policy, because each employee negotiates their own deal for employment, and a man who gets paid less than some women, I may want to get paid the same as others but I know that it is not going to happen. But when I sue, everyone may enither take a pay cut or lose employment altogether, so I figure that they won't be too happy.

  • If the individual is responsible for negotiating their own deal, then the capitalistic view would be, that person should work on and improve thier negotiating skills... Again, not necessarily a gender issue...

  • No person should get paid MORE than another for doing the SAME job to the SAME level.

  • So you are totally against longevity raises?

  • No, not as long as they are deserved, as usually those are based upon performance reviews. They still don't have anything to do with GENDER.

  • were they in the same job class or are you looking for crap?

  • It sounds like you are lumping together staff that had different levels of responsibility.

  • since when google was and authority....get off the cross please.....we need the wood man.....

  • Mr. President,

    I work at a local retailer in my town. My employer is Unionized by the UFCW. My question concerns this act. I am "classified" as a Part-Time Grocery Clerk, hired to do the same work as a Part-Time Checker Clerk. I have been employed for over 3 years. My coworkers are doing the exact same work for nearly twice the pay. My hourly rate is $9.25, and their hourly rate is $13+. There are employee's with LESS time than me who are paid more as well. Plz Help.

  • Now there is legislation in place you can hire a lawyer and bring a case under this new Act. President Obama cannot deal with your case personally, but he has put legislation in place to help you. Good luck!

    As long as the other employees are a different race/gender, you may have a case. If you all are the same race/gender, you won't have a chance in hell to win under this act. If you are a white male, you automatically have bias against you. The best alternative is find another job that pays you more. No one is forcing you to stay at that job. Good luck on the path you choose.

  • If I were you I would question the union. They should be able to get a print-out of the Grocery Clerk's responsibilities and thsoe of Checker Clerks. If you are doing the higher paying duties, then approach your manager and politiely bring it to his attention and ask for the higher pay. It would help if your union had a representative present for this. Good luck getting your deserved raise.

  • OwnagelncBFinch, my original message showed up as a regular comment. I'm sorry you'll have to search for it. Adding to it, make sure to practice firmly and politiely talking to your manager. I have had great results when I've maintained eye contact and good posture. It is amazing how much it affects people's opinion of others. If the manager gives you a hard time, don't quit but start looking for a job with better management. A bad boss negatively affects your health. Good luck,

  • Amen.

    its about time!

    You are doing a Superb Job so far President Obama!

  • Dear Mr. Ehud Olmert, Mr. Ehud Barack and Mr. Barack Obama

    Be warned:

    Germany is in the EU the Trojan horse of Iran.

    Using the negotiations as a front, Germany is supporting Irans uranium enrichment program with technical information and procrastination of the negotiations.

    Thereby, the rulers in Berlin strive for the fulfillment of the olden German dream of extermination of the Jews.

  • All of these Kool Aidcrowd. I hope your heart don't get broken. Look at Hong Kong for a flourish nation. Not US with Obama at the helm. A left course will lead us to more unemployment, more American jobs going overseas, horrible public education, higher crime rates due to the worsenning economy. Obama wants guns out of las abiding citizens. That is when this civilian service crew is all about. Gangs and harden criminals will participate. It could get very grim.

  • America should and was meant to be a beacon and lighthouse to the world. Respectable and dignified once and for all!! This was the dream! May the Most High unphold this dream!

  • Obama 's father is a British citizen not an american. that makes Obama natural born citizen difficult for the Obama clan to prove that he is an Natural born American born citizen. Obama 's school records, passport is conceal. Think of what reason why?

  • President Obama take his job seriously. Despite the critics, he is working hard to find solutions.

    Not distractions. And for those who continue to find issue with birth certificates, born alive, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and "socialism"...

    How can this help you find a job, when it's shuts down and your locked out the building?

    President Obama faces bigger challenges than some fringe group of right wing opposition who bemoan the official White House page.

  • That only takes effect if the country has a no double-citizenship policy, like China does with America. I'm a Hong Kong permanent resident and an American citizen. Also, just because you live in a country for a long amount of time doesn't mean that you've necessarily naturalized, your not forced to.

    If you can provide proof that he was naturalized please show me, because you can be president even if you only live 14 years in the United States.

  • u mean that the supreme court and the US government was wrong and you are right?

    enough with this propaganda.....Barak Obama is the 44th president of the United States of America...he is your and my president period.
