Inundation of “the wage gap” soon? Chief Inspector of Labour speaks the language of the feminist agenda

Feminists argue that the average wage difference that men and women receive is not the consequence of the diversity of professions and leave related to the educational task, but of discrimination. This communicative is taken for a good coin by Chief Labour Inspector Marcin Stanecki. The authoritative admitted in an interview with the Polish Press Agency that he was a supporter of state intervention in this substance and forced equalization of payments.

The interview with Stanecki PAP asked erstwhile the EU directive on equal pay would enter into force in our country. – Implementation of EU directives is not a simple task, so the State Inspection Work wants to share its experience, be useful. I personally reported on the work of the squad that will work on implementing this directive – he replied.

As the Head of the Labour Inspectorate explained, the paper is “that a man and a female for equal work, which brings the same results, should be paid the same amount, so that there are no wage differences due to the fact that I am a man and your woman. While further factors specified as qualifications, skills, cognition and experience will be taken into account."

According to the regulations, entrepreneurs will be forced to submit reports for inspections that will check whether they comply with the feminist requirement. – I am convinced that this will be our fresh task. present we already have complaints about discrimination, including pay, but this is not a large number – about 3% of all complaints entering the PIP – Stanecki said. In his opinion, the introduction of "anti-discrimination" provisions "will be beneficial for many people, for example those who participate in recruitment. They will know what the employer offers, whether they are curious in specified an offer. This will besides benefit employers as they will not waste time and resources on recruitment talks that do not lead to anything."

"Implementation of this directive means imposing another bureaucratic work on entrepreneurs, so they will most likely not be happy," pointed out Mira Suchodolska, who was talking. In his reply, Stanecki encouraged attention to "positive" and argued on the basis of private experience that women are treated worse by employers. "In my opinion, the situation of women in the labour marketplace is much more hard than men. I'll tell a communicative of my life: many years ago I had an thought to become an assistant judge. The same thought my wife had, who had long prepared for the interview, was well prepared in substance, and so she presented herself during the interview. I told stories, not necessarily related to the question, so I was certain my wife would be chosen. Turns out no, I got the fortunate ticket. erstwhile I asked the justice why this happened in the next conversation, he said, "Because you're a man. And in fact, I was the only man of 5 candidates for this position," the Chief of Inspection reported. He did not decide for a minute to reflect on the understandable reasons for which his possible employer might have wanted to hire a secretary alternatively than a secretary...

During his interview, Stanecki besides confessed that his "passion" was a conflict for sealing the minimum wage. – I've been fighting for years to make minimum wage the basic wage. Currently, the minimum wage in Poland is PLN 4300 gross, which does not mean that the worker can get so much as a basic salary. The amount to be entered in the ‘basic salary’ section by the employer is limited only by his fantasy. If he wants, he can put 1 gold, 2 or 10 in it. This is possible due to the fact that the minimum wage consists of many components. For example, your employer can give you an extra bonus for having finished your yoga class. This would complement the difference between basic and minimum salaries The clerk complained.

"Now, utilizing the fact that we gotta amend the Minimum Remuneration Act, as the EU requires us to do so, there is an thought that this minimum remuneration should be the basic wage and not include prizes and bonuses. If this works, we will prove that we are a European country of the 21st century – he added.
