General Motors has taken an additional step forward to reduce and eliminate gender bias regarding pay scales. According to The Wall Street Journal, GM and 29 other companies were the latest to sign the White House’s pledge to conduct an “annual gender pay analysis designed to eliminate inequitable compensation.”
