Equal Opportunities

That's not my point. We are not talking about what some recent unnamed report has "verified" .... the thread is based on the report linked in the opening post. Nowhere in it is there any suggestion that incompetents are to be hired merely because they fit a particular profile. Look at what happened ... some guy used the term "usual rubbish", possibly because, like many of us, he considers that, like the warnings on cigarette packs, having to publish regulations every time an ad goes out is pc "rubbish" ... and this got published. As if none of us is aware that all jobs are open to qualified applicants regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation etc. And that's it. And because of the pc climate, this necessitates some unctuous bitch from PR, getting up on her hind legs and issuing ass-covering statements. To attack the whole affirmative action system, much of which is positive, based on such flimsy "evidence" is ... well, dumb ... and it serves no purpose other than to allow folks to sound off with their biases.

I realize it is not always the case. Things have changed a helluva lot since I was in clogs. But, whatever spin you put on it, equal pay for workd of equal value still ain't here yet. It's getting close ... but close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades;):D
