It is of the highest importance to provide equal access to the labour market. Governments should act to establish equitable employment standards and penalise racial discrimination.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that... discrimination in the job market is a very important area where work needs to be done.
Ensuring fairness in the American workplace should be a cornerstone of our economic policy.
We must ensure not only that everyone receives equal pay for equal work, but that they have the opportunity to do equal work.
Free trade is very important if we respect equality among nations.
I believe men and women should get equal pay for equal work.
I think that affirmative action programs can be very important.
I do believe that, under the law, under the Constitution of the United States, and under our public policy, that women deserve and should have a right to enjoy equal employment opportunity.
Labor has a proud history of tackling discrimination and introducing important social reform.
I think that whenever businesses harm the economy, harm workers, harm consumers, or undermine human rights in any way, then it is the role of the government to make sure that they don't do that and to make sure that markets are fair and they operate properly.
Government's role should be only to keep the playing field level, and to work hand in hand with business on issues such as employment. But beyond this, to as great an extent as possible, it should get the hell out of the way.
