As recently as 1997, were unions complicit in discrimination against women?

Historical Statistics – ERA is currently looking for updated data in these categories

Women earned less than men in 99% of all occupations for which data is available.   

Source: U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1997 Annual Averages
From:
http://www.equalrights.org/publications/fact_sheets/paystats.asp

Unionized employees are paid in accordance with collective bargaining agreements.  If unions negotiated agreements that paid women less money for equal work, then weren't unions complicit in economic discrimination against women?

"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

John C Calhoun, "Disquisition on Government", 1840

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

What's wrong with Dwarves? They make great fighters and clerics. Elves, on the other hand....

I always had the impression that the Velcro union would have lobbied to have the dwarf tossing legislation shitcanned. They go through a lot of velcro tossing dwarves. Kinda bad for business to shut down dwarf-tossing.
