Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted November 29, 2022 Moderators Share Posted November 29, 2022 On April 7, 1938, Florence St. John, on behalf of herself and 29 other women filed a lawsuit against General Motors Demanding equal pay for equal work. The women were paid 76 cents per hour, while the men were paid 97 cents per hour. Thus began a battle that lasted for years. The case went to trial on June 2, 1941 and on May 29, 1942 it was decided in favor of the women. GM appealed and in a final decision on January 2, 1945 the women were awarded $55,690.00. [NOTE: Thanks to an article by Martin J. Kernan, in the October 2022 issue of Smithsonian beginning on page 16.} We should not forget that contribution made to us today by those who have gone before us. In this respect, we SDAs should not forget the contribution made by Marykaye Silver and Lorna Tobler. See the following for that. https://openjurist.org/535/f2d/1182/equal-employment-opportunity-commission-v-pacific-press-publishing-association https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp/482/1291/2095517/ phkrause 1 Quote Gregory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members phkrause Posted November 30, 2022 Members Share Posted November 30, 2022 I remember that, they had a big discussion on that at Atlantic Union College! The workers at the AUC Press, and some of the other businesses were not invited to that!! Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
