Neutral

No, the current requirements in the Equal Pay Act of 1963 are already sufficient

Johnson signed the Equal Pay Act of 1963 into law, but he also went on to sign the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which expanded on these protections. This suggests he might believe the Equal Pay Act was a good start, but not necessarily sufficient on its own.

Disagree

No, there are too many other variables such as education, experience, and tenure that determine a fair salary

While Johnson would likely agree that education, experience, and tenure should factor into salary decisions, he would likely disagree with the implication that these factors should allow for gender-based pay disparities.

No, the government should never determine what a private business should pay employees
