Would you want to work for a company

That paid every employee the exact same wage? If not why?

I think that is impossible. You will face the same situation the guy just did that paid everyone $70k. He lost harder worker employees who felt they did most of the work while others slacked off and is now being sued by his brother. In a perfect world where everyone had the same work ethic that would be great but in the real world it does not work like that. Now I do own a business and I do pay more than the industry standard but I have less emloyees than I could and they go through a more stringent hiring process to weed out the less motivated people. Of course that doesn't mean that you don't ever get some who slip through but they don't last long.

I also pay people who have more schooling and experience more. Why would I pay someone with an entry level position with no experience the same as what a seasoned electrician with years of experience can do?

I guess that would depend on what the salary was.

It would depend on the workplace. Is everyone doing the same job, with the same requirements, shifts, educational requirements etc?

My husband works a union job that the new guy in the door makes the same as the 30 year guy about to retire, but he has to have the same qualifications and trainings, and be able to jump right in and do the job (after probabionary period of about 90 days) as any longer term employee.

They make top money in this area for their field (and the health benefits are not to be beat), and are worked hard for that money, so I'd say it is fair, because as much is expeced of the new guy as the 'old' one.

No, everyone has their own assignments from the top down to mail room. Different work and loads to do.

No chance for advancement? No bonus for working harder/longer? People that think it's a good idea need to think it over.

It's socialism and it is gaining popularity that we all should be the same and have the same things. It is an old idea that comes around regularly. It's the everybody gets a trophy way of life. No matter what you do--you get to get a trophy too.

No. The attitude of "doing ONLY what I need to do to gety my paycheck and NO MORE" is already a serious issue in our workplace today. Can you imagine what would happen if there was no incentive to achieve, work harder, go BEYOND the bare minimum?

God help us if THAT becomes the norm.
