Do you think pay for women and working mothers is improving?

A recent study by the International Trade Union Confederation found that mothers earn almost a third less than men and face many career hurdles. Do you find that to be true or do you think things are improving for women?

Yes. I think the pay is getting better and many employers are more flexible with the schedules of working moms.

No. I don't think pay is improving and I think most employers are not sympathetic to the challenges of being a working mom.

Maybe. I think it may be improving a little, but I think we still have a long way to go.

I personally was in a position were I was an assistant manager for a 400 unit hotel. The former manager left and the position was vacant. These duties of the Manager were done by me for 4 months with no extra pay. The board of directors felt that the position should be filled by a man and that is what happened.

Is this fair??? Hell no, but that is what happens and we can only continue to fight. Shortly afterwards I left and the greatest job ever was being a mother, the rewards and pay were priceless. I no longer needed to prove myself or compete in a man's world.
