Seriously did she say why? Marilyn must be unhappy

From Nadirah's facebook: "I am taking a stand on this one because I believe in Equal pay for Women."

No further details...

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?

Discussing her business with Jimmy to the media is a quick to get herself OUT of the CRB :-?

She's talking about her and Tina appearing at MoTM with Mac, Peter, Mike Utley and Robert Greenidge, not her deal with Jimmy.

Correct, I should have been more specific, I figured it was implied. This is JUST about 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.
Generally speaking, women still get paid less then men...makes my blood boil.

a true fact, though improving vastly in many fields.

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

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.
