E.R.A.


No this isn’t about a baseball pitchers earned run average, but rather about the equal rights amendment to the US Constitution. I remember when my wife was promoted and the guy who replaced her as the fifth grade teacher and who had half her teaching experience started at a higher salary than she had been paid for the same job. Frankly outrageous and she did not complain but I was pissed for how the male head of school had effectively slapped her in the face!

I remember running a manufacturing company and I had one lady that could make 75 tools per hour while another guy could only make 50. Unfortunately the passage of the ERA will not result in more pay for more work. But rather the political socialist with their union and plaintiff lawyer allies will dictate equal pay for the same job regardless of performance. Karl Marx would be very pleased!

And that is all I’m going to say about that.
