Question

Lilly Ledbetter, a supervisor at a Goodyear tire plant, discovered, late in her career, that she had been paid considerably less than any of the other people in her position. Since she was the only female supervisor, she argued that this was simple discrimination, and, assuming she's right, it shows that her workplace was not:a. Aware of law?b. Meritocracy?c. Class consciousd. Gender biased

Answer 1

Answer: D Gender biased.

Explanation: As a supervisor she is qualified to be paid the same amount her counterparts or co- supervisors are receiving. As the do the same work and we on the same grade. She is the only lady among the supervisors and the only one paid less. Naturally it will be assumed that her work place is gender biased if not others should be paid less.

As supervisors the all do the same amount of work and share the same amount of responsibilities. So if she is right that she is being discriminated it means her workplace is gender biased.
