Pay Equity, Marilyn Waring

[heisenberg]

Well, no, we don't. We make a fairer tax system, that lets everyone be paid a decent wage for the work they do, irrespective of their gender. One that recognises the value of that work to the community. A surgeon's work is already valued, so should be the work a cleaner does. Or a caregiver, or nurse, or early childhood teacher.

It's about fairness not greed. About the work, not who does it.

Exactly; Time we recognised that we do all depend on one another.

And getting our politicians to take a turn at, for example,cleaning now & then might help them to stay focused on the reality for some voters.

i assume you only mean the current coalition government politicians not those caring labour green partly maori politicians
