[net.general] Allstate Insurance says women don't deserve equal pay with men

pat@pyuxqq.UUCP (Pat M. Iurilli) (05/17/84)

Allstate Insurance Co, which is being sued by a former female employee who
was purposely paid less than men performing the same job, has announced 
that it is good business practice to pay women less because it encouraged
higher productivity!  Apparently this woman was paid $850 when men doing the
exact same job were being paid $1000.  Can anyone believe that in this day
and age that people, especially someone in such a high corporate position,
could be like this?  It's a little unnerving.
