Hey FOO
I'd love everyone to be paid the same for the same job.
But the fact of life is that that rate would not be the top of the ATCO2 scale.
Everyone, YES everyone, would lose out of an equality system, and the differnce between the men and women argument is that everyone does earn equally over the span of their career. Let's keep it that way.
Also for a company running an incremental scheme, it also poses an incentive for the less experienced staff to stay!
