Equal pay for equal work

Equal pay for equal work is the concept of labor rights that individuals doing the same work should receive the same remuneration. It is most commonly used in the context of sexual discrimination, in relation to the gender pay gap. Equal pay relates to the full range of payments and benefits, including basic pay, non-salary payments, bonuses and allowances. Some countries have moved faster than others in addressing the problem. Since President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act in 1963, it has been illegal in the United States to pay men and women working in the same place different salaries for similar work.

Early history

As wage-labor became increasingly formalized during the Industrial Revolution, women were often paid less than their male counterparts for the same labor, whether for the explicit reason that they were women or under another pretext. The principle of equal pay for equal work arose at the same time, as part of first-wave feminism, with early efforts for equal pay being associated with nineteenth-century Trade Union activism in industrialised countries: for example, a series of strikes by unionised women in the UK in the 1830s. Pressure from Trade Unions has had varied effects, with trade unions' own patriarchal character sometimes promoting conservatism. However, following the Second World War, trade unions and the legislatures of industrialized countries gradually embraced the principle of equal pay for equal work; one example of this process is the UK's introduction of the Equal Pay Act 1970 in response both to the Treaty of Rome and the Ford sewing machinists strike of 1968. In recent years European trade unions have generally exerted pressure on states and employers for progress in this direction.

Pay Day

[Verse 1:]
Don't act surprised, I got soul like Jackson 5
Class get it in with the classic vibe, I'm a four course meal ain't no appetizer
Word, everybody gotta pay up
Forget the everyday stress for a minute
We'd rather celebrate like we're in the 9th inning
Two outs and bout to win the pendant
I'm waiting on my pay day like I'm living in my heyday
19 in the club like JJs drink it up like mayday mayday
If I keep going this way I need AA today
But I'm feeling good and the cheques straight
Finally got paid now the day late
So I work all day in the job they hate so that they could play all night anyplace they like
And it's
[Hook]
Pay day, pay day
Whether its 9 to 5 I do it writing rhymes
I just gotta survive to get by
Till its pay day and it's pay day
I've been going all day all night all week
Waitin' on a dream and a cup of coffee
Get in like, I do
the same old thing [x3]
[Verse 2:]
And I've been waitin' all week on this paycheque
Cause I hate debt, and I got bills to pay before the day sets
Trying to keep right but I stay left I ain't checking out
But need a rain check, and my girl wants a brand new pay up
So I guess I gotta buy another outfit
And both kids roll out their own kicks
I stretch money like aerobics, love getting paid but hate getting taxed
Love getting laid but hate chasin' ass
You can't have one without the other, ask a friend
You either work it out before you cash it in
[Hook]
[Verse 3:]
When this pay cheque comes I'mma give her
A little harm to the lungs and the liver
Under the sun with a blunt on the river
I give it my all I don't under deliver, feelin' like I'm about to slow down but I get up
We live it up, we don't ever die down
Ready for it all, see it in my eyeballs
Till I fall then I'mma stand my ground, I work hard for the pay off
Play hard before I had a day job
I get it in like cool hands Luke, till it blew in my face like blue man group
