Should EU law require equal pay for equal work regardless of gender?
In 2014 the U.S. Senate blocked the Paycheck Fairness Act which would make it illegal for employers to pay unequal wages to men and women who perform the same work. The goals of the act were to make wages more transparent, require employers to prove that wage discrepancies are tied to legitimate business qualifications and not gender and prohibiting companies from taking retaliatory action against employees who raise concerns about gender-based wage discrimination.

This is something that is hard to legislate (as is the race pay-gap) because of variables like education, experience, and tenure.

Yes, they should earn the same salary, if they work harder and do the same amount of work/hours, under the same conditions in the same position, and are just as competent unless they can't perform the job as adequately.

Yes, women should have an opportunity to earn the same amount of salary as men, if they work harder and do the same amount of working hours, under the same conditions in the same position, and are just as competent unless they can't perform the job as adequately.
