mar 29, 1970 - It becomes illegal to change a job title to pay women less

Description:

The Federal Court ruled that jobs need to be “substantially equal” but not “identical” to fall under the protection of the Equal Pay Act.

An employer cannot, for example, change the job titles of women workers in order to pay them less than men.
