Women and men should not be treated different in society. In terms of labor and money, gender should not determine the placement or roles that women are given.

The Santa Clara County transportation Agency used a plan in their employment decision making that revolved around gender.
The agency separated all women in their community and chose not to let them work under specific kinds of labor.

...

"The employment decision here was made pursuant to a plan prompted by concerns similar to those of the employer in Weber, supra. Consideration of the sex of applicants for skilled craft jobs was justified by the existence of a "manifest imbalance". "

Many kids in high school begin to get jobs during the summertime to save up on money for the future. In some cases, this money becomes very important for kids in families that struggle with money or have to build structure for funding and affording their near futures. If these girls are downgraded because of their gender and get lower pay, this makes them struggle to support the kind of education they have the right to get.

This issue also shows how women are portrayed in society and how actions like this can make the negative images grow. Like Title 9, women can grow to receive a negative stereotypes that lead to downgrading their positions in society - in terms of pay, respect, power and even living circumstances.

This is considered a social issue because:
The women involved with this case (in particular Joyce) make an important point that time filled with cases like these can result in the roles women have changing to society - a clear example is Title 9.

The focus is on the community as a whole- the men and women who are divided in their workspaces and the women who are downgraded as a whole in society. (this case proves it because, "As for the job classification relevant to this case, none of the 238 Skilled Craft Worker positions was held by a woman.”)

The women in society faced issues politically because of the responses they got from the government.
In terms of pay and the law(s), that plays a big part into this issue, as a whole women were not treated fair/were downgraded from men. Because of these jobs shutting women down, it creates barriers between men and women for payment and power.

Joyce's right-to-sue was a point that showed as a perfect example of the issues evident.

Not only did this law make the court and the Agency pay attention more (more than the revolts, statements, examples and point of views) to the fact that women wanted more power (that was given to them through this law).

There was struggle with time in the court and making decisions on this case.
The women brought clear examples, like The Civil Rights Movement and Title 9, to prove how this plan needed to be reviewed and changed to give women an equal chance.
However, the court struggled with making official laws for employers to follow when hiring because of laws already present for the Agency and employers in general.

Joyce, however, brought a right-to-sue letter which quickened the reactions of the court and had new statements for the Agency and it's rules.
