Quote – Jerry N. Markham, director of industrial relations, Thatcher Glass Manufacturing Company, Testimony, House Hearing.

If my company were compelled to raise all of our female rates in this plant to the male rates in question, it would seriously jeopardize the competitive position of this plant with its competitors located in other states employing all females in these jobs.

From the testimony of Jerry N. Markham, director of industrial relations, Thatcher Glass Manufacturing Company at the House hearing “Equal Pay Act.”
