Question

Under the existing Equal Pay Act, an employer can avoid penalties by showing that pay differences by gender are based on nondiscriminatory factors such as work experience and education.

At the time of this writing, the Senate may soon pass a bill-already passed in the House-that limits the use of these bona fide factors to justify pay differentials by gender by requiring that employers demonstrate that they are job-related necessities (a harder burden of proof). If you were asked for your informed opinion, would you support this changed in the law? Carefully justify your answer.
