Impose legislation to prevent women from being paid less than male counterparts for the same work.

More needs to be done to prevent discrimination against women in the workforce. There are well publicized statistics regarding the fact that women get paid an average of 77% as compared to men in the same positions. How is it that these statistics are gathered & published but nothing is done to correct this? Fields which are traditionally male dominated are among the worst offenders. What few women are hired face denial of moving benefits & signing bonuses. If hired, they usually later find out that male counterparts were awarded these benefits & higher wages. Besides being paid more, men are also typically given more opportunity to train & advance. Companies plaster non-discrimination statements on their walls but never fear retribution for there wrong doings, as he EEOC is useless.
