Berkeley City Council Limits Employers In The Name Of The ‘Wage Gap’

Let’s clear one thing up, shall we? *clears throat* THE. WAGE. GAP. IS. A. MYTH. Has that really not been made clear yet? Apparently the city council of Berkeley, California has been left out of the loop.

The Berkeley city council is debating a proposal that would prohibit employers from asking potential hires about their salary history. While this policy is ridiculous to begin with, the reasoning behind it is priceless. Members of this local governing body want to use the law to prevent the perpetuation of the “wage gap.”
