Kamala Harris released a plan to overhaul U.S. discrimination laws to ensure women and men are paid equally for the same work.

Harris’ pay equity proposal comes at a time when women are a crucial constituency in the Democratic contest. After months of debate over discrimination and sexual harassment in the workplace, women strongly favored Democrats in the November midterm election, and record numbers of women were swept into office.

Her plan would also bar employers from asking job applicants about their salary history. Forced arbitration would be banned in pay discrimination disputes.

Then why is she paying her campaing sftaff Males MORE $$$ than Females?

And in each case, it will be up to employers to prove that a particular employee did not, in fact, do the same job, at the same performance level? By what measure? What could possibly go wrong?

She's very fake and unrealistic

Who?

Wonder, are women having to be off work more often than men to have babies, or leave work to take care of a babyl that is sick has anything to do with that.```

Seriously.... you're not even trying to be a good radical leftist. This is so stupid

What a Great Woman. Kamala for 2020 🇺🇸

And they would response by simply not hiring women because Kamala Harris made it more expensive to employ women than men. Regulations cost money for companies to monitor compliance, file forms, etc...

Unconstitutional. Nope. Not even close.

On the surface it sounds good. But the major source of pay inequity is occupational segregation. Men and women (still) don’t do the same jobs. What % of framing carpenters are female? What % of nurse’s aides are male? 2nd point: many women work for govt or nonprofits.

Sounds good..easier said than done..politics only

Really stupid, she has no idea of wage economics or performance based salaries

And everytime a woman feels a man is looking at her in a sexy way the company gets fined. Grow up people

Where does this exist? People with same job title, responsibility and experience getting significantly different pay

I support some wage gap analysis. But, remember, performance is still a factor. If a woman is not doing her job, she shouldnt be paid as much as her male counterpart! But, whats imp is a REASONABLE RANGE. discrimination nytimes ivankatrump kamalaharris USEEOC iwv

It’s already illegal to do this. Proof has always been the problem. Proof will remain the problem. Wishing doesn’t make it so.

So, no fine then?

Kamala 'Horizontal' Harris desperate for attention.

Most pressing issue unlike erasure of student loan debt.

Instead of hassling with being hauled into court by the state to face fines, companies just stop hiring women altogether.

Moduro of Venezuela is looking for a weak assistant. Harris this isn’t Jamaica this is America. Dictators need to leave America!

There's already a law. Typical lazy Kamala nonsense. Her next target will be 'criminalizing murder' 😂😂 Such a warrior. She's actually perfect for DC. And she puts out.....

There is no pay gap... that’s a lie

Interesting how that gets enforced, might be hard to prove in some cases,

I would love to see how any of this plan would be quantifiably measured.

What if men are doing better work than women in the same job? What if women are making more than men? What if it fluctuates? How about the Lakers? They don't have any women working at playing basketball. Now that is discrimination. We don't have any male senators. What's up?

Be a Cold day in Hell before she gets elected Pres!!

Lol, this is so dumb. When was the last time Kamala worked in the private sector?

Fascism nice!

Also, every household will own a unicorn and all the fairy dust they can carry! talkischeap

1%, probably should be a figure like 10,000 dollars

She is overpaid.

Funny part is what if you have a company like Tesla that makes no profit. Also when taxing the company were would that money go to? Sounds like a good scam.

Voting for her

Communist parasite

Make. It. Plain.

Those employers could just leave all together if the don’t like her polices.

But KamalaHarris what are you going to do about impeachment? If we don’t save America now, there will not be a Republic left for you to lead. Tell SpeakerPelosi to get the ball rolling! ImpeachTrumpNow 🇺🇸

Welcome to a dictatorship....if the public does not agree with a companies policies, you have the right to boycott them. It is not the countries right to fine them!!!!!

🙄🙄🙄 so if you stay late and earn a raise and some other person takes four million sick days... 🙄

Oh, she’s still running?

Just more identity politics. Perhaps women need to recognize who they're taking on. If women want to be treated like men, don't even try to play the feminist card because I will show them the world I face.

Penalties on drug deals, not employers!

Not a good idea for men. Only gathering women votes and scaring employers off from hiring women.

And if a woman gets higher pay than a man the company receives a tax credit and a free pudding

😂😂😂

if you want to be president , you have to be president for both men and women not just women. So what will you do on companies paying women more than men?

Another Govt money grab. I expect nothing less from Camela Harris

Continuing the Dem sh*t show.

She's an amazing leader and she has great ideas for the future she can take America into the next millennium

Works for me.

And how will she exactly measure all this

Kamala is clueless

When? Once she becomes president? So Never? Ok, I was nervous for 3 tenths of a second there.

Gender Pay Gap is an utter myth and this moron is actually proposing something that in the end going to cost jobs. Hope the jealous people who belive this garbage propaganda realize this.

She wants zero support from commerce.
