Sherry Mann asked for a reference--I can't give a detailed one, but
WBBM Newsradio broadcast the item during the week of 5/14-5/18, as one
of Neil Chayet's (sp?) "Looking at the Law" shorts.  A brief call to
WBBM led to the information that transcripts of this item can be
obtained by contacting Neil at his parent station:

			Neil Chayet
			"Looking at the Law"
			c/o WEEI
			4450 Prudential Tower
			Boston, MA  02199

			Tel. No.: (617) 262-5900

The number, incidentally, is a general station number.  When I tried
it, the department was out to lunch--it's your turn to do some
sleuthing.

Incidentally, as I remember, the worst part in the issue was the fact
that the woman had lost an appeal to, I believe, the Federal District
Court.  They claimed that the law only applied to equal pay, and
didn't address unequal workload; as Neil says, "one dissented, saying
that unequal work violated the spirit of the law; but the majority
rules..."
