I am a huge proponent for equal pay for equal work. But, I am not sure that is what these women are addressing. They state that they were hired in at lower levels than male counterparts with similar experience.

Nowhere in the article does it say they were paid less than those in the same position. It is a lot harder to prove you were looked over for an initial job simply because you were a women. My other cause for pause is that Google has been ranked the number one company to work for six years in a row. I happen to work for a company on the list. A huge factor in determining the list is employee morale.

The associates are asked to judge their company. If so many women are being treated unfairly, why would they rate their own company the best place to work? I would be interested to follow this suit and see what comes of itDiscussion Question #2 at least 60 words

OSHA is the investigating body and requires us to take certain actions. What are the requirements OSHA requires for your industry in ensuring employee safety?

The current hurricane made me think about as the human resource manager for the local and state government, how we ensure the safety of our first responders? They are not evacuating. The CDC provides some information on how to keep first responders safe while working.
