Show Equal pay for equal work Appeals Off icer IN anted For Denver CS Region A woman 9s point of view George F. Dwyer, director of the Denver Region, U.S. Civil Service Commission, announced major changes in the federal employe appeals system, and the selection of a chief appeals officer for the Denver office. EHicrt F. Floyd has been appointed by the U.S. Civil Service Commission Chairman Robert E. Hampton as chief appeals officer for the Denver Field Office of the new Federal Employe Appeals Authority. The Denver Field Office will coasider federal employe appeals from adverse actions by federal agencies in Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. The new appeals system, in which Floyd will play a key role, follows an exhaustive study Seattle and VYashington. Each by the Commission and the is- office will be staffed with suance of an Executive Order trained, professional appeals by President Nixon that pro- officers who will hear employe vides for a one-levsystem, appeals from adverse actions.

The trouble is, they- cant handle the heavy work, a manager said in a recent seminar for top executives. The men continually have to help them. Now the men are furious because the women are getting equal pay for less than equal work. What should we do about this? Of course it's risky to offer a solution without seeBut there are generalized ground ing the problem rules for approaching the problem and it is a common one as men, women, line and staff managers all confront the transition of women into new job slots. THE FIRST QUESTION to ask is, are the women really unable to do the work? Or is everyone playing games on the job? An illustration. . . Some time ago a group of YWCA women met with a NOW member to discuss the womens movement, which was a new social phenomenon at the time. One of the participants opened the discussion with a direct challenge which she had clearly brought from home. It went like this: My husband is a foreman in a warehouse. He has eight men and three women on his crew. Part of the job is lifting cartoas down from high shelves ' you have to climb a ladder to do it. The women wont go up the ladder, so my husband has to do it for them.1 DO YOU THINK THEY SHOULD GET EQUAL - on-sit- e. sex-ro- le "Why not? Well, he wouldn't want to be rude to them! There was some discussion about the need for men and women to lie honest with each other, particularly on the job. The conversation went on to more generalized aspects of the womens movement. In the middle of the evening something clicked and the foremans wife suddenly said, OH! MAYBE THE women in the warehouse feel as if they have to lie feminine and let my husband lift the cartons down for them! Maybe they think if they insist on doing it hell think theyre masculine or peculiar or something and he'll be mad. The NOW memlier agreed. The conversation turned away from the warehouse again. Toward the end of the evening something else clicked. Oh!" said the foremans wife, beside herself with the satisfaction of a problem thoroughly solved. Ill bet my husliand doesnt talk to the women about those cartons ljecau.se he feels as if ought to lie a gentleman and lift them down!" EXACTLY. That was the other side of the problem. When women hired for heavy work do less than their fair share, there are a number of posable reasons, including at least the following: (1) they cant handle the work; (2) they have the required strength but nobody has trained them in the necessary techniques; (3) the women feel they must play ladylike" games, the men feel they must be gentlemen," everybodys uncomfortable, and noljody knows how to begin talking about it. Only a third party trained to know what to look for can sort through the possibilities to find the real cause of the problem. Once the cause is identified the solution - WASHINGTON Dr. Carl W.

If the problem Is real inability to handle the job, obviously the women should be transferred to jobs they can do and the company should devise an objective, test so that future applicants (male and female) will lie able to do the job liefore they are put into it. This is in no way violative of the law as long as individual qualifications are tested and the tests, are validly related to the requirements of the job.

The training in itself is an implicit statement that they are expected to perwhen form all aspects of the job, not to play feminine the work is hard. If the problem is feminine and masculine a third party will have to point out the inapproboth to the priateness of this behavior on the job women and to the men.
