Brandi Rhodes: 'Equal Pay Means Equal Opportunity Regardless Of Sex'

Brandi Rhodes Clarifies Pay Scale Remarks, Says ‘Equal Pay Means Equal Opportunity Regardless Of Sex’

Yesterday’s rally for All Elite Wrestling was full of groundbreaking announcements. One such announcement came from the Chief Brand Officer, Brandi Rhodes.

Brandi announced that All Elite Wrestling will have a women’s division. Brandi said that AEW is looking into bringing in talent from all over the world.

However, one of the biggest headlines from Brandi’s portion of the press conference came when she proclaimed, “men and women will receive ‘equal pay for equal work.'” Furthermore, she said, “there will be no sliding scale.” Being that this is such a hot-button topic, there have been a lot of people who have been questioning what exactly that means and when exactly we would be getting clarification. Well, Brandi Rhodes has taken to Twitter to provide some further clarification:

“Equal pay means equal opportunity regardless of sex. It does not mean that everyone will be paid the exact same salary regardless of their position. It means the gender pay gap does not apply. An entry-level woman won’t make less than an entry-level man because of her gender.”

Equal pay means equal opportunity regardless of sex. It does not mean that everyone will be paid the exact same salary regardless of their position. It means the gender pay gap does not apply. An entry level woman won’t make less than an entry level man because of her gender.
