But in this case, it was two teenagers with equal experience being hired for the same low-skill position. Do you think a difference in pay was justified? It's not as though the 25-cent/hour difference was arrived at after a probationary period and a review of their performances on the job. The difference was there from the start.
If a broom pusher is willing to work for a dollar a day, and agrees to it then is it not fair to pay him that dollar? If the next broom pusher holds out and i agree to give him 1.25 a day should again I not give him/her what has been agreed upon?
If I need and can have both broom pushers for what they agreed to work above, then what does it matter to them what the other makes? If I feel I can work the guy making .25 cents more just s little bit harder than the other, even if I don't then it is worth having paid one a little more than the other. especially if I know I can go to him first and he will get it done.
despite if the job is equal or not people are not. I had an opening for a broom pusher job. the last guy I had working in that job was worthless. 8.05 or whatever the government min wage is was all I could stand to give him. The guy I hired today has done more in one day than the last guy would get done in a month. I'm going to give him a dollar more than I have to because of his hustle, and ablity to get stuff done. If he keeps it up for 90 days I'll give him another dollar raise.
Again same experience same job, same job requirement, different attitude, different employee.
Now all that good will ends, if he insists getting paid like a line tech while pushing a broom.
