I think there's a big difference between men and women and in some cases it makes sense that they get paid less. This obviously depends on the job. There are a lot of work they can do as well as men do, but some job, as in heavy labour, men are naturally better at. There's also a much bigger chance we won't disappear for several months which would force an employer to employ yet another person to replace her.
I think the discrepancy in pay is more of an issue in the corporate world, rather than manual labour.
Also, employers aren't allowed to discriminate in view of pregnancy.
Hmm.. I don't have much to say about that, really.
I know they are allowed to discriminate in view of pregnance, but I think it makes sense that they would like to do that.
I can get that employers might want to be able to shy away from taking on an already pregnant woman, but at the same time I think it's only fair that the law says they can't (openly, at least).
