Trump rescinds women's fair labor act...

[WOT?*]

Have we discussed?

...The Fair Pay order banned forced arbitration clauses for sexual harassment, sexual assault, or discrimination allegations. These clauses, which are deployed with increasing frequency in employment contracts, mandate private proceedings and secret filings, with the intention of keeping allegations of sexual impropriety out of the public record. “[T]hey often help hide sexual harassment claims,” Maya Raghu, Director of Workplace Equality at the National Women’s Law Center, told NBC News. “It can silence victims. They may feel afraid of coming forward because they might think they are the only one, or fear retaliation.”

The now-defunct order also required employers to provide details on pay scale and salaries, which in turn helped ensure that companies were paying female employees the same rates as their male counterparts.


(ahem...ESF , just wanted to make sure you didn't miss this gem.)

Good thing Ivanka is speaking up for women in private.

He really has a twisted way of promoting Sexual Assault Awareness Month. I don't why I would expect anything different from hiim regarding sexual assault or women's rights.

And all those women in construction management for Trump Companies must be thrilled!
They can just find new jobs after the arbitrator says that there is no sexual intent with the crotch-grabbing and lewd comments, after all, so it's not harassment. It's just the cost of doing business.

Of course he did. 😡

No one loves women like Trump does!

I've said it before, I'll say it again - as long as he keeps undoing the acts and laws that Obama (and the DEMS!) put into place and are smart, common sense laws - he's going to slowly chip away at his supporters. Never his true base - they are the true idiots who will never see the light of day. But the people who aren't as much his base but voted for him for other asinine reasons (even just "he's not HRC") - he's going to piss them off, he's going to make them realize what an unfeeling, uncaring, idiotic asshole he actually is.

He is such an asshole.

I know I feel equal today. I mean, if there is no law protecting me, clearly it must mean there isn't a problem!

I hope they realize it's not just him, but the entire party.
Remember this in 2018.

DH sent me a tweet yesterday that said something like, "Trump started out sexual assault awareness month by defending Bill O'Reilly."

IF they are actually aware of what is going on and IF they actually connect it to Trump.
