> EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK, SAYS UNION VETERAN
It already exists. Under this banner many try to get equal pay for unequal
work. For example, a hospital cannot run without a functioning kitchen or
laundry. Is THAT reason to pay the laundry machine operatives the same as
the orthopaedic surgeon, or has training duration / intensity / ddemands /
responsibility / replacability something to do with the pay differentials
perhaps?

Huh???? You have a funny way of interpreting "equal pay" concept. Or else,
you're trying to distort the issue.
Ken
Not AFAIK.

Of course you are! Equal pay for equal work and you come up with these
disparate comparisons?
Ken
Equal pay for equal work absolutely. Another one is equal pay for work of
equal value - so that a worker in catering might get the same pay as a
worker in haulage within the same company if it can be demonstrated that the
work of the one is as valueable to the company as the work of the other.
This argument taken to extremes says that for the running of a hospital (for
example) it is as vital to have a competent neurosurgery department as it is
to have a functioning laundry. Therefore a laundry worker should get the
same pay as a neurosurgeon. Get it?
