In class we have previously talked about fairness in the work place and one issue or law is the equal pay act. Even though the equal pay act was put into place so ppl who are (females/males, possibly color) can not be treated unfairly with different pay for the same job. Companies find many ways to get around this act and i think it does not do much, but i can not blame the government for this because ppl do live in different situations where the same job say in a different state should be payed differently. I read in a newspaper article the other day of someone suing because she had the same job as a male working but they worked 5 miles away from each other and the male had a higher wage. Like i said this is unfair but it is very hard to stop companies from doing this.
