Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg’s LeanIn.org has launched an “equal pay” campaign that claims “women are still paid 20 percent less than men, on average, in the United States.”
The campaign, which launches on Tuesday, also claims on their site that “Black and Hispanic women are paid even less” before offering women 20% off discounts for a range of services in protest.
Several companies have partnered with the campaign, including the popular ride-sharing app Lyft, which will donate 20% of revenue to “organizations that serve women and families” on April 4.
“At Lyft, we celebrate a diverse and inclusive culture, and we participate to make change happen — whether that’s at work or in the car,” the company wrote in a post on their website. “That’s why we’re teaming up with LeanIn.Org on their #20PercentCounts campaign and donating 20% of proceeds from rides taken between 8 AM and 6 PM on April 4 to organizations that serve women and families, including Dress for Success®, Feeding America, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and AAUW.”

More fake news from the snowflakes.
The pay gap is entirely a myth.
So I guess the gender confused will get paid as??
That is a big fake news lie. 20% is B.S. The equal pay for equal work has been a law for years. Back in the eighties I worked in a manufacturing plant and women were paid the same money as men. And talking about equal pay for equal work. The women never worked as hard as the men. Also the management would always give the women the easier jobs and the men the harder jobs. But we were still paid the same. As for independently owned businesses. They tell you their starting pay and you agreed to work for that amount whether you are a man or a woman. So if you don't like the pay you don't have to take the job.
Also if you are working and don't like your pay you can always quit and go somewhere else. I am sure there are plenty of unemployed people that would love to have your job. So quit complaining and just do your work.
