re: Wage inequality and women

Unpaid. I would bet in general women have more paid maternity than men do paternity.
And I highly doubt that an equal amount of men take 12 weeks versus women. Just goes to the fact that women tend to miss more work than men.

Many employers are required by federal law to allow their employees (both men and women) 12 weeks of unpaid family leave after the birth or adoption of a child under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
But you agree men usually don't take it right? I have never seen a man take more than a week off after his wife had a baby.

According to that study, females took 12.9 days off versus 8.12 for men. So what are the men's excuse for all that sick leave?
i only take off if a kid is sick or my wife is sick and can't take care of them.
i haven't taken a personal sick day since i had the no more baby surgery 6 years ago.
at the end of the day more men take jobs that require longer hours and more strenuous work than MOST women (Good Lord I didn't say all.) Until we can prove a woman working in O&G, Retail, Sales, or whatever at the same level that a man is with the same experience and skill set for less money, it's not even a discussion it's just selective statistics.

Take 12 weeks off as a male for child birth and see how long you last when you get back

I would bet you obviously are talking out of your arse and don't have a shred of proof.

Well that's the men's choice.

I dont think unpaid leave is really relevant. Paid leave is a different story

But should this justify why they get paid less for an equal job?
Just posing question as that is the original reason for thread.
Does a woman missing (on average) 4-6 more days a year than a man really make that much of a difference?

I'd be fine, even though I wouldn't do it. A lawyer would have a field day with that wrongful termination suit though (assuming your production remained at the level it was before the leave).

Link to the extra paid leave women get for having a baby that doesn't come out of their general pool of leave that men get as well?

Right. Because he knows he'll be laughed out of the office if he takes 12 weeks.
It's simple. Statistics show women miss more work due to a variety of factors. So it makes sense they'd earn less because they're less reliable.

That really has nothing to do with you making stuff up, but thanks for stating obvious things.

I think companies are put in bad positions when employees are out for long periods of time. Most will pay the reliable ones a higher wage. I work with someone who has missed at least 4-5 months in the last 3 years...how can she bitch about pay?

You really think men get as much paid leave as women for babies in most companies?

I think he does, and everyone else has to prove their points but him apparently.

Would be fairly easy if everything was constant before and after IMO, which is worth about as much as yours.

Do you think women just get extra paid leave to have a baby?
