Male Teachers Claim Wage Discrimination

Story here. Excerpt:

'Nine male teachers are suing their Pennsylvania school district, claiming they’re victims of an unfair and gendered pay scale that favors their female counterparts.

The federal lawsuit, filed on May 2, alleges that the Moon Area School District, located about 13 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, failed to comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, and Section 1 of the Civil Rights Act of 1871.

The plaintiffs have accused the school district of hiring female teachers at higher pay levels while also giving them more credit for their prior teaching experience. The men claim their prior teaching experiences were not recognized at the same salary level.

According to the civil complaint, all nine plaintiffs appear to have transferred from outside districts, where they worked for a varying number of years.

“We do not discriminate against anybody for any reason,” Testa said. “We categorically deny any sort of discrimination as a district and we will defend the lawsuit vigorously.”'
