*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management.* Title: Let’s Expose the Gender Pay Gap *Source:* NY Times *Author: * Joanne Lipman Date: Aug 13, 201*5* *Summary: * The Securities and Exchange Commission <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/s/securit…> took a shot at it last week, approving a rule that would require companies to disclose their C.E.O. pay gap <http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/06/business/dealbook/sec-approves-rule-on-ce…> — comparing how much chief executive officers take home compared with ordinary employees. That’s a fine idea. But here’s a better one: require companies to publish their *gender* pay gap.

Forbes: Wendy's Explains What Really Happens With A Minimum Wage Rise: Job Losses
by SMLR Library 11 Aug '15

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management.* Title: Wendy's Explains What Really Happens With A Minimum Wage Rise: Job Losses Source: Forbes *Author: *Tom Worstall Date: Aug 11, 201*5* *Summary: *It’s entirely true that whatever rise in the minimum wage there is will hit all low wage employers the same. But the substitutes for fast food aren’t just other fast food chains. They are also things like making a sandwich at home, maybe even going home to eat. Thus price rises are going to feed through into a reduction in demand for the output of low wage labor. Simply because not all of the possible substitutes use low wage labor. So, again, job loses as the industry shrinks a little.
