My coworker, a woman, makes drastically less than another coworker, male, for a similar position and everyone is aware of the monetary difference (roughly 30% less). I am technically an ''intern'' but clearly see this as a hefty violation of workers rights, or simply put, an injustice. The question is: how can I help her get her raise? How can I talk to my boss (its a small business of less than 20 employees). What can I say??? I learned about everyone's pay in a discreet and happenstance manner, not through direct questioning.
What you need to know: there is very limited positions for her work outside of the business so she can't just quit and no it is not inside the US (there aren't extreme cultural differences despite this).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated because it is driving me mad! I had to be vague on details for this post for my own sake, I hope you understand.
