Where are the definitions of what constitutes positions for which equal pay should be the case? Should a female clerk be paid the same as a male truck driver? Is an employer not allowed to judge which employees actually deserve higher salaries based upon their individual talents?

This bill just says inequity exists, threatens lawsuits without defined bases, and trumps up government pork to run workshops and pay grants for “training”.
