Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Equal Pay for Equal Work: The Story of the Struggle for Justice Being Made by the Women Teachers of the City of New York Salary - A periodical allowance made as compensation to a person for his official or professional services or for his regular work. - Funk and Wagnalls. Notice the words, "a person." Here is no differentiation between male persons and female persons. Yet the City of New York pays a "male" person for certain "professional services" $900, while paying a "female" person only $600 for the same "professional services." Stranger still, it pays for certain experience of a "male" person $105, while paying a "female" person only $40 for the identical experience. These are but samples of the "glaring inequalities" in the teachers´ salary schedules. Why is the male in the teaching profession differentiated from the male in every other calling, when his salary is concerned? Why does the city differentiate the woman it hires to teach its children from the woman it hires to take stenographic notes, use a typewriter, follow up truants, inspect a tenement, or issue a license? Why are not the appointees from the eligible lists established by the Department of Education, entitled to the same privileges and rights as appointees from Civil Service lists from other City and State Departments? Some ask, "Shall the single woman, in teaching, be given the married woman´s wage?" I do not know what they mean, but I say, "Why not the single woman in teaching just as much as the single woman in washing, in farming, in dressmaking, in nursing, in telephoning?" Again, some ask, is there such a thing as "equal work" by two people? Technically, no. No two people do exactly the same work in the same way.
