I know, I was sworn to secrecy but they asked me to fill in for her! 
Seriously did she say why? Marilyn must be unhappy

Re: Nadirah not going to MoTM
Someone mentioned to me that a few posts ago she made a comment that she and Tina weren't being paid as much as the rest of the Reefers - I wonder why it wasn't an issue in previous years?SchoolGirlHeart wrote:From Nadirah's facebook: "I am taking a stand on this one because I believe in Equal pay for Women."ScarletB wrote:I know, I was sworn to secrecy but they asked me to fill in for her!

Re: Nadirah not going to MoTM
She's talking about her and Tina appearing at MoTM with Mac, Peter, Mike Utley and Robert Greenidge, not her deal with Jimmy.Lightning Bolt wrote:Discussing her business with Jimmy to the media is a quick to get herself OUT of the CRBScarletB wrote:Someone mentioned to me that a few posts ago she made a comment that she and Tina weren't being paid as much as the rest of the Reefers - I wonder why it wasn't an issue in previous years?SchoolGirlHeart wrote:From Nadirah's facebook: "I am taking a stand on this one because I believe in Equal pay for Women."ScarletB wrote:I know, I was sworn to secrecy but they asked me to fill in for her!

Re: Nadirah not going to MoTM
Correct, I should have been more specific, I figured it was implied. This is JUST about MOTM>C-Dawg wrote:See's talking about her and Tina appearing at MoTM with Mac, Peter, Mike Utley and Robert Greenidge, not her deal with Jimmy.Lightning Bolt wrote:Discussing her business with Jimmy to the media is a quick to get herself OUT of the CRBScarletB wrote:Someone mentioned to me that a few posts ago she made a comment that she and Tina weren't being paid as much as the rest of the Reefers - I wonder why it wasn't an issue in previous years?SchoolGirlHeart wrote:From Nadirah's facebook: "I am taking a stand on this one because I believe in Equal pay for Women."ScarletB wrote:I know, I was sworn to secrecy but they asked me to fill in for her!

Re: Nadirah not going to MoTM
To Nariah, I say "you go girl". I believe, for her, she's correct. She has a very popular cd out, is so talented and she can draw a crowd. I don't look at her as purely back up ( sorry Tina ). Her voice is so strong and beautiful that she should be paid well.SchoolGirlHeart wrote:From Nadirah's facebook: "I am taking a stand on this one because I believe in Equal pay for Women."ScarletB wrote:I know, I was sworn to secrecy but they asked me to fill in for her!

Generally speaking, women still get paid less then men...makes my blood boil.

But if it makes you feel any better, check this fact (statistic) I learned today here...

Re: Nadirah not going to MoTM
OK, I'm not trying to start a fight here, I'm all for equal pay for equal work (I do have two daughters, ya know!) but . . . .
In no way am I downplaying Nadirah's and Tina's contributions, but there's a big difference between supplying vocal harmonies and playing in the band! Mr Utley is playing keyboards and singing, Mac is playing guitars and singing, Robert's on the pans and singing . . . . I don't know anything about the pay structure, and I don't know if the pay has anything to do with their gender, but the guys are doing a whole bunch more than the ladies! (Not because they're guys, because they're musicians.)

I know the voices in my head aren't real, but sometimes they have really good ideas....

I understand what you're saying. However, at MOTM and other Reefer events, she is often the main singer, especially if Mac isn't there. When it's a Jimmy show, it's a different thing.
