Comparable Worth
Comparable Worth
I see comparable worth as an illegitimate device that derails the labor from achieving fulfillment from their employment. I believe the person would always worry about their job performance; the use of fear as a motivator is inappropriate and detrimental to production and morale which I feel could affect safety as well. One could argue that if a person does their job well that they should have nothing to fear at time of review. Again this is a problem, the evaluator is human and is prone to mistakes which can only court a one sided view, the company’s mission; profitability. This makes the labor look irrelevant and or a lesser component of the business which creates the businesses profitability by creating products and or services. State, national or even sector comparisons do not serve the general labor market, but works well within the private sector because there is a free flow of money that lures quality workers that make quality products and or provide professional services. I disagree that the market is fickle, if it is a good product and the market share is more than thirty percent, profits will maintain and or grow under the right leadership.
The real elephant in the room is the growing gap in executive and middle management, as well as general labor. The even sadder part to this is the war for the sexes that still seems to be proudly waved in board rooms and stock rooms across America; except minimum wage. Minimum wage does not discriminate about one’s sex and or education level if one is hired. However it does discriminate as to the real value of the labor force that provides the true elbow grease as well as the blood that drives this great country. Minimum wage does not give any human a standard which to live by, it merely affords enough substance to survive until the next check. A check that does not represent anyone’s true value is nothing more than indentured servant wages, because at the end of the week and or month
