  • Equal Pay Act in the Courts: a De Facto White-Collar Exemption
    THE EQUAL PAY ACT IN THE COURTS: A DE FACTO WHITE-COLLAR EXEMPTION JULIENE JAMES* The Equal Pay Act of 1963, though initially considered a victory for working women, has proven unsuccessful for women executives, administrative personnel, and professionals. This Note argues that plaintiffs bringing Equal Pay Act claims have faced courts whose interpretationof the law has effectively excluded women in higher level positions. Through an examination of the Act's history and the history of similar exemptions in New Deal legislation, this Note argues that ideas about work, imported from early conceptions of managers, executives, and professionals in New Deal legislation, continue to influence courts' interpretation of the Act. This Note offers two alternative solutions to this problem: The first prescriptionis to reexamine the history surrounding the Equal Pay Act with the aim of including workers who effectively have been excluded by judicial interpretation. The second is to reinstate in the Equal Pay Act the exemption as originally enacted so that the apparent inclusion of the these groups does not discourage legislative attempts to correct the problem. INTRODUCTION "Nature has given woman so much power that the law cannot afford to give her less."1 Rosie the Riveter: saucy machinist, determined worker, one eye- brow raised, icon of patriotism. Of all the images of twentieth-century women, none is more enduring than hers. As part of a government- sponsored propaganda campaign encouraging women to join the war effort, Rosie stood for all American women who experienced World War II as an opportunity to break into industries previously closed to them.

In the 1950s and 1960s, opportunities for American women and minorities were limited as they were often segregated into pink Opportunities; collar and menial jobs. NASA’s female and minority employees faced NASA Impacts similar obstacles. The Space Shuttle Program opened up opportunities US Culture for these groups—opportunities that did not exist during Projects Mercury and Gemini or the Apollo and Skylab Programs. NASA’s transformation was a direct consequence of a convergence of events Jennifer Ross-Nazzal Shannon Lucid that happened in the 1960s and 1970s and continued through the Helen Lane following 3 decades. These included: public policy changes instituted on the national level; the development of a spacecraft whose physical capabilities departed radically from the capsule concept; and an increase in the number of women and minorities holding degrees in the fields of science and engineering, making them attractive candidates for the space agency’s workforce. Over the course of the program, the agency’s demographics reflected this transformation: women and minorities were incorporated into the Astronaut Corps and other prominent technical and administrative positions. The impact of NASA’s longest-running program extends beyond these dramatic changes.

Although New Jersey mandates that insurance carriers cover “medically necessary” infertility treatments, because the relevant statute defines “infertility” by reference to the period of time during which a woman has had unprotected heterosexual sex without conceiving, women in same-sex relationships are categorically excluded from its protections.

  • Racial Disparities in Health Status and Access to Healthcare: the Continuation of Inequality in the United States Due to Structural Racism
    Racial Disparities in Health Status and Access to Healthcare: The Continuation of Inequality in the United States Due to Structural Racism By RUQAIIJAH YEARBY* ABSTRACT. During the Jim Crow era of 1877 to 1954, the federal government sponsored and supported the racially separate and unequal distribution of resources, including, but not limited to, education, housing, employment, and healthcare. On May 14, 1954, the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that separate and unequal education violated the Constitution because separate is inherently unequal. Many believed that this ruling, the Civil Rights Acts of 1957, 1960, 1964, 1968, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 would put an end to the unequal treatment of African Americans in the United States. However, inequalities still exist today because the ruling and the laws did not change the structures of the United States. Specifically, structural racism prevents African Americans from obtaining equal access to resources such as wealth, employment, income, and healthcare, resulting in racial disparities in health. Because racial disparities between African Americans and Caucasians are the most studied in the United States, this article will focus exclusively on how structural racism continues and causes racial inequalities between African Americans and Caucasians in wealth, employment, income, and healthcare, which lead to racial disparities in access to healthcare and health status. *David L.
