Just as an example.............

Let's take the PO I work at as a microcosm.......

There are males and females in all jobs. Clerks, mailhandlers, techs, etc.

On average, the Males earn about 15-20% more than most (not all) of the females. How is that so, when we're a union shop, everyone's on the same wage scale, and equal opportunity is brutally enforced?

Very simply, out of all the female clerks, there are Three on the OT list. Out of all the mailhandlers, there are two females on the OT list. Out of all the maintenance personnel, there is one female on the OT list.

I would be amused to see the results of a study comparing annual compensation in relation to hours worked for males and females (By payroll data, not census data), but I can't find one.

Maybe Canada is different from the usa in that department. Here in this company, its fairly = as to who gets OT & who does't. It also really depends on the job.
Ex. The people who work in Credits & Accounting all get OT regardless of sex, however the majority are females. Most of the TOP managers have to do OT & they happen to be mostly Korean males (from Korea).. Then in the Call Centre its based on stats & who wants to do it. The top OT person there is a female & shes one of 2 females, as most females don't like call centres, but they do hire plenty, they just don't last as long.

My dad worked at the RRC for 30yrs & was getting they same pay as everyone else. Sometimes even less as he choose not to do overtime, so he could go home & spend time with his kids.

Just from what I've seen from all my jobs & others jobs, OT is based on job, need, & who wants to do it, not Sex... I'm sure if more males are willing to do OT, then DUH males are gonna have a larger pay cheque in the end.. but before OT we're all equal & some raises are soley based on skills/personal stats. As my raise was higher then many males cause I worked my butt off & earned it.
