Now there’s a cunning scheme. Preferentially hire people you can pay less, not because they’re less capable, but because they’re historically underpaid.

In the OFCCP’s second amended complaint today, the office alleges Oracle “impermissibly denies equal employment opportunity to non-Asian applicants for employment, strongly preferring a workforce that it can later underpay. Once employed, women, Blacks and Asians are systematically underpaid relative to their peers,” the complaint alleges.
Not surprising at all. This just needs universal fixing and enforcement of equal pay. Of course, we need ERA, and a federal law that requires equal pay for equal work. Women, Blacks, and Asians have been complaining about this forever, but white men hold the keys to equality and the ones in power don’t want to pay us all equally. Do you know what they actually said to Congress? They actually said that it would inconvenience corporations to pay women equal pay for equal work. Those actual words. And the white men in Congress nodded sagely and tossed out the idea as ridiculous. After all, they wouldn’t want to make their friends have to pay money or do the right thing. That would be inconvenient. And it might cut into the bribes they get. Ugh.

I’m surprised #MeToo hasn’t come for Larry Ellison yet. He’s legendary for *ing his employees, both literally and as shown above.
