Laywer addresses wage disparity
By NANCY BRAIMAN
An activist concerned with pay
equity said Friday night that the
culprit of wage disparity is the em-
ployer who segregates employees into
jobs for men, jobs for women and jobs
for minorities.
"This segregated work force is the
key to wage disparity," said Winn
Newman, a Washington attorney, who
addressed a crowd of about 40 people
in Hale Auditorium.
Newman's speech was part of a
symposium on comparable worth

The principle of comparable worth
asserts that employees should receive
equal pay for work of comparable
value.
Newman said the electrical in-
dustry is one of the biggest per-
petrators of sex-based wage
discrimination. He said that women
on the assembly line are paid less
than men who work as janitors and.
groundskeepers.
"We need compliance from the
public and private employers," said
Newman about Title VII of the Pay
Equity Act.
"Sex- and race-based wage
discrimination is prohibited by the
pay equity act, but the difficulty is in
proving it," said Newman.
According to Newman, one must
examine company documents and
show that the wage disparity could not
have occurred by chance.
Newman said that most cases of
wage disparity occur with jobs that
require no prior experience and only a
high-school diploma in many instan-
ces.
Newman said that critics of com-

parable worth feel that the gover-
nment is setting wage rates and that
interferes with the free market
system and it is not economically and
adminstratively feasible.
In a panel discussion Saturday,
Gerald Skoning, a lawyer from
Chicago, said "the litagation will con-
tinue to strike horror and terror in the
hearts of employers because they are
class action suits and it draws
tremendous media attention as it con-
tinues.'
Skoning wants to continue to
politicize the issue and dredge out the
statistical data for open inspection by
the public.
"Congressional reaction to
Supreme Court decisions in com-
parable worth can be swift and com-
prehensive," said Skoning.
The symposium covered state and
local developments, Title VII
litigation, economic and ad-
ministrative issues, and comparable
worth and race.
