[quote=Anonymous]Did the WaPo or any other "fact checking" group bother to fact check the Democratic debates?  
Seems as if Bloomberg wasn't honest in his statements.  I'm sure he is not the only one.

[quote]Billionaire and Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg is taking hits left and right about his answers to questions about his nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) with former employees and his stop-and-frisk policy as mayor. But there’s another claim Bloomberg made in his debut on the Democratic presidential debate stage that’s getting less scrutiny.

“In my company, lots and lots of women have big responsibilities. They get paid exactly the same as men,” said the CEO and majority owner of Bloomberg L.P.

Some of Bloomberg's employees, however, disagree. While the salaries for all Bloomberg L.P.'s employees aren't available, the Communication Workers of America conducted a study in 2019 that found pay disparities amongst employees of Bloomberg Industry Group, one of the company’s affiliates. In a series of tweets the day after the debate, the group’s Guild shared infographics highlighting their findings.

Women constitute 52.7 percent of the workforce at Bloomberg but receive 93 percent of the pay of their male counterparts, the Guild reported in April 2019. On average, men earned almost $5,500 more than their female counterparts.

But the pay disparities aren't limited to gender. Black and Latinx employees at Bloomberg BNA earn on average almost $10,000 less than their white colleagues. Only Asian employees were paid close to as much as white employees on average. [/quote]
