I have a question about this whole women-men wage rate differential.

Am I blind, or aren't the unions supposed to negotiate rates based on tenure,
not gender? And also, how do they get the men to admit that they are being
overpaid?

Found an interesting piece in last week's BusinessWeek (11/30/98, p.8).
There's a brief write-up of a feature of the AFL-CIO website which
looks at the reality of the 74 cents women make for every man's
dollar. This site enables "Everywoman to calculate the actual sum she'll
lose during her lifetime - and what that means in lost dinners out and
vacations in Jamaica".
