FREE DRAFT lEER UNTIL MIDNIGHT Houston Area National Organization for Women has officially designated Labor Day as Pay Equity Day, a day for women everywhere to focus the public's attention on sex discrimination in the marketplace, and to demand that Pay Equity legislation be enacted. PayEquity is the rating of jobs according to established criteria such as skill and knowledge, TUESDAY, SEPT. 3-LlP-SINC FINALS responsibility and accountability, working conditions, and interpersonal skills. A point value is assigned to each criteria according to its importance for that job. If a job dominated by COMING SEPT. 9- OUA "GOOD LUCK AT Womenhas the same total points as a job dominated by men, yet has a lower salary (the wage gap), that salary is raised to the same level as the male-dominated job. MISS GAY AMERICA SHOW" Six states have enacted Pay Equity legislation. Pay Equity has literally raised the salaries FOA S.A.'S EOY-SWEET SAVAGE of women in those six states. Texas has not implemented Pay Equity. In fact, the state of Texas seriously lags behind other states in that it does not have a task force on Pay Equity; 34 other states have a task force. Texas does not have a Pay Equity policy; 10 states already have a policy. Texas has not done a job evaluation study; 22 other states have done a study. Texas has not brought suit; 13 states have already brought suit. So, for Houston women, September 2, 1985, will be celebrated as Pay Equity Day.
