Comparable Worth: A New Social and Economic Issue.
Joyce, Robert P.
School Law Bulletin, v12 n4 p1-8 Oct 1981
The Supreme Court decision in County of Washington v. Gunther opened the door to the comparable-worth theory of liability. That argument rests on the concentration of female workers into largely segregated and low-paying jobs, and it attributes the low pay to sex discrimination. (Author/MLF)
