Does this mean sexual harassment is no longer verboten?

The original EO was an additional layer of bureaucracy in effect it was a presidential order to follow already existing laws. However in a couple of cases actually negated Federal Labor Laws and creating a special class of people.
I deem it highly ironic and prejudicial that under the repealed EO that a female/woman or whatever you want to call them could demand that they see my paycheck and paystub, yet I could not request or demand to see hers. I'm sorry but that is not 'Equal Rights' nor is it "equality of outcome."
The really sad part - all of the educated (and I use that term loosely) people (my grandfather would say 'fool') do not understand what they are even saying. Here is a good example (taken from the article): “But as you move up, women are not occupying places at the top the way men are. The wage gap at the top is much larger.” (According to economist Elise Gould.) Do I actually have to point out the fallacy of that statement?
I am sure that for some of you I would need to, even to ones with an MBA, now that is sad.

Why Obama didn't just enforce the laws on the books via his Justice Department is a mystery to me. Regardless, if Obama did absolutely nothing on the issue. The issue was resolving itself before he wrote the Executive Order and law violations are on the decline across the board.

For you folks that like to SKIM instead of reading for content. Obama's Executive Order overlapped the National Labor Relations Act of 1965 (please read it). That act already amended several times protects contractors from discrimination on the basis of race, sex. national origin, etc. Obama's executive order only added two new key provisions. #1 Can no longer fire employees for discussing what they are paid amongst themselves or for asking what another employee is paid. #2. Cannnot limit employment disputes to binding arbitration.........which if you knew anything about trial lawyers and their lobby.........that was candy meant exclusively for them.
Obama even mentioned in his order all the protections on the books already in regards to federal contractor law...........if you read the Obama Executive Order they are all listed at the top.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - Actually, the whole Binding Arbitration approach to settling legal cases was the Federal Governments idea to clear the Federal Dockets so more important and higher priority cases of Raketeering, Murder, Drug Dealing could be swiftly adjudicated instead of log jammed behind lower priority cases such as who chased whom around an office desk. It was a good idea but hardly the Employers fault the Feds encouraged it's use.

First, that is an article from last year.
Second, most of that executive order was axed by an injunction the year prior.
Third, can we stop the hysteria?

US Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Act: Injunction Granted! | Employment Law Worldview
On Wednesday, October 25, Judge Marcia Crone of the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas granted a nationwide preliminary injunction blocking most of the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces (the so-called “blacklisting” rule) rule from taking effect. The rule, which we previously reported on here and here, requires federal contractors bidding on … Continue Reading
