Description
The suit in the District Court was brought by the Secretary of Labor against the Owensboro-Daviess County Hospital, a corporation, the City of Owensboro, Kentucky, and the County of Daviess, Kentucky, under the Equal Pay Act of 1963, 29 U.S.C. ? 206(d)(1), (3). The Secretary sought to enjoin the defendants from violating the Act by paying wages to "male nursing assistants" (I. e., orderlies) higher than wages paid to female "nurse assistants" (I. e., aides), and sought as well an award of back pay unlawfully withheld. The case proceeded to trial, and the record shows that at the close of the Secretarys evidence the District Court Sua sponte granted defendants motion for a directed verdict and adopted findings of fact and conclusions of law, and entered judgment for defendants, dismissing the complaint. The Court found as fact that there were substantial differences between the two positions, the duties of a typical orderly requiring skill, effort, and responsibility greater than those of a typical aide, and accordingly held that the wage differential was justified and was not in violation of the Act.
