I've been looking at equity data all day on the members in my union to determine if there's a pay gap

Spoiler: women get paid less for the same work 😱

Are there other factors you didn't mention?I have 6 women who changes lightbulbs @ $15. Per hour, five men who are laborers @ $13.50 per hour

@MarineBob Sure you do!

@daisymay the women don't miss work and all have certifications

@MarineBob I'm accounting for a lot of different factors here. Rank, type of job, years of service, bonuses, etc...

And the fact you have some women you underpay slightly less than some men is commendable.

I'm not sure I would elevate this to the level of "fact". Bob is not known for telling the truth.

@daisymay I do that for many reasons besides pissing a union off and tax incentives

@MarineBob You are a totally believable person, too.

@MarineBob Aww, you don't need to get upset for being called a liar, you just need to stop lying.
