California Federal Savings & Loan Association V. Guerra: The State Of California Has Determined That Pregnancy May Be Hazardous To Your Job, Susan Spalter Berman
California Federal Savings & Loan Association V. Guerra: The State Of California Has Determined That Pregnancy May Be Hazardous To Your Job, Susan Spalter Berman
Golden Gate University Law Review
In California Federal Savings & Loan Association v. Guerra, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld the facial validity of California Government Code section 12945(b)(2). The court vehemently rejected a federal preemption argument and held that a law setting a minimum leave for pregnancy disabilities did not, on its face, discriminate against men or conflict with the purpose of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 19644 as amended in 1978 by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA). The issue of whether the PDA allows any different treatment for pregnancy has divided the feminist community.
Comparable Worth And The Market Defense: A National Debate, Helena Kaminski
Comparable Worth And The Market Defense: A National Debate, Helena Kaminski
Golden Gate University Law Review
The concept of comparable worth is rooted in a simple premise: salaries should be based on the intrinsic value of the employee's work to the employer. Yet attempts to enact comparable worth measures have caused controversy in state legislatures, city boardrooms, and courts. Increasingly, the debate has centered on the market's role in setting wages. Comparable worth advocates argue that employers pay women a sex-slanted wage which is illegal under Title VII. Employers, in turn, urge that far from being discriminatory, such wages reflect the market's workings, and are necessary to their survival. The defense has hitherto proven remarkably successful …

From Smokestacks To High Tech: Retraining Workers For A Technological Age, Diane Reynolds Ravnik
Golden Gate University Law Review
This comment will examine a jobs re-training program, The Employment Training Panel (ETP), an innovative piece of job training legislation enacted in California in 1982. Designed with the dual purpose of economic development and job training and employment, the bill seeks to (1) foster job creation and put the unemployed back to work, (2) meet employer needs for skilled workers, and (3) minimize employers' unemployment insurance costs. ETP does so by working closely with the State's Department of Economic and Business Development to entice new business to locate in California and to encourage existing business to expand their operations by …

Pregnancy Benefits, Benign Sex Discrimination, And Justice: Why Does It Matter How We Ask The Questions?, Patricia Ann Boling
Pregnancy Benefits, Benign Sex Discrimination, And Justice: Why Does It Matter How We Ask The Questions?, Patricia Ann Boling
Golden Gate University Law Review
One purpose of this essay will be to respond to this argument by showing what sorts of considerations are pertinent and what conclusions are warranted if one considers the underlying issue in pregnancy benefits cases to be distributive justice, and then contrasting this with the considerations and judgments indicated by a more comprehensive view of sex discrimination. There are other reasons as well for maintaining the debate about the proper perspective on pregnancy disability issues. The Court's difficulties in convincingly justifying the refusal to equate pregnancy with sex-based discrimination in Geduldig and Gilbert, and in distinguishing the seniority and pregnancy …
Equal Pay For Comparable Worth, Jolie Lipsig
Equal Pay For Comparable Worth, Jolie Lipsig
Golden Gate University Law Review
This Comment will briefly trace the history of job segregation from colonial America to the present, and explore the relationship between the Equal Pay Act and Title VII in light of the controversial Bennett Amendment. The interpretation of this Amendment, which limits the effect of the Equal Pay Act on Title VII, has lead to arguments both for and against adoption of a comparable worth standard by the courts. A comparison of opinions of the various courts concerning the amendment will follow, focusing on the emerging theory of equal pay for comparable worth. A discussion of different job evaluation techniques …
