Survey shows working sole-breadwinner moms are far more likely to earn less than dads

May 5, 2016 | by Eric B. Meyer

Yesterday, I blogged here about New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s conditional veto of a bill which was intended to level the wage gap between men and women performing substantially similar jobs in the Garden State.

Serendipity.

Last night, I came across this survey from CareerBuilder, which examined the pay disparity between male and female sole breadwinners.

Governor Christie conditionally vetoes an equal-ish pay bill in NJ

May 4, 2016 | by Eric B. Meyer

There’s an equal-pay-for-women movement going on nationwide. Maybe you’ve heard of it. The most-commonly cited statistic is that full-time American female employees are paid only 79 cents for every dollar paid to men.

Locally, here in New Jersey (technically, I’m typing this post in Cherry Hill, NJ ~~in a diner located between two jughandles~~), the battle has waged on for some time. On Monday, on Governor Chris Christie’s desk sat a bill, which purported to foster equal pay for men and women.

He vetoed it.

EEOC: Not letting transgender employees use the restroom of their gender identity is sex discrimination

May 3, 2016 | by Eric B. Meyer

Around this time last year, I blogged here about Guide to Restroom Access for Transgender Workers. According to OSHA, “all employees should be permitted to use the facilities that correspond to their gender identity.” And, it’s up to the employee to determine for him- or herself “the most appropriate and safest option.”

It should come as no shock that the federal administrative agency tasked with enforcing anti-discrimination law has released a fact sheet, which reaches the same conclusions.

This sad, sobering video is a reminder that your company still employs knuckledraggers #MoreThanMean

Most of you have either seen or heard about Mean Tweets from Jimmy Kimmel Live! That’s the segment where celebrities stand in front of the camera with smartphone in hand awkwardly reading the snippets of vitriol that Twitters users can spew about them in 140 characters or less. The celebrities have a good sense of humor about it. And the segment is generally good for some LOL moments.

Well, the folks over at Just Not Sports took Mean Tweets to another level with #MoreThanMean tweets.
