Oh they are captainKBay, the company I retired from after 40 years has had a push on for years to hire women in all positions!  The current president has a mandate to have 50% of the current workforce women! Will be fine in office positions (professional workforce — jobs like engineers and accountants) but like the article said It's two weeks on and two weeks off, and the good jobs are technicians and not many women go to college for such! But still there are more women in positions on the slope then one might realize if they had ever worked any where on the slope!
Federal laws are in place that hourly personal are paid the same in the same positions. Salary jobs are different and all are paid differently, including between men in the same position! But then you won't have a story if you didn't have some headlines about equality or someone being downtrodden!
