On the recordJuly 30, 2007
I am a big believer in equal pay for equal work, particularly when it comes to women, because that determines what I get in my packet at the end of the week. But I have to say, I don't like this bill. The reason is, I am sitting here thinking, if you can go back 20 years and say I was discriminated against 20 years ago, we are talking about my first job out of college, and how that may have been, or I am a former small business owner as well. There are folks that I probably don't even remember employing who could come back and start suing me for what I did in small business 20 years ago. I just don't think that's the right way to solve the problem. I am strongly for equal pay for equal work and have fought for it and have given it to employees. I just don't think this is the way to do it, by retroactively allowing people to sue.
