Non-Discrimination in Compensation – Compensation data collection Tool
Wednesday, August 10th, 2011
The Obama’s administration early announcement that they will be proposing a new data collection rule related to “Compensation Discrimination”. This is another attempt on the part of DOL and the Obama’s administration to force contractors to report data on employee and management compensation under the guise of identifying and preventing compensation discrimination. In reality it is a back door effort to force government contractor to either become unionized or to pay wage scales dictated by the union. If also smacks of the heavy handed approach
to government dictating how business are to pay their employees. This is no different than DOL efforts to tell Boeing where it can set up business operations and that any effort to operate in Right to Work states will be met with lawsuits from DOL.
You have an opportunity to comment, please use it. However, the only real way to prevent this proposed rule from becoming finalized it to contact your Congressional Representative loudly and
often. Because this is another attempt to kill capitalization by the Obama administration.
