Rep. Herman discusses comparable. worth
By DENISE WEAVER
Collegian Staff Writer
State Rep. Lynn Herman, R-
Centre, said Wednesday he does not
believe comparable worth legislation
which would allow the government
to set wages to eliminate discrimina
tion against occupations dominated
try women will be passed by the
state House of Representatives.
Herman addressed the Centre
County Personnel Association during
a breakfast meeting on comparable
worth legislation, right-to-know pro
posals and others issues that could
have a large impact on places of
employment
The bill defines comparable worth
as the monetary worth of one job in a
salary system in comparison to the
worth of other jobs in that system.
Criteria used to determine and eval
uate comparability of jobs within one
salary system would include skill,
knowlege, physical demands, respon
sibility and work conditions.
Herman explained that the compa
rable worth bill is aimed at getting
the government involved in wage
setting and evaluating employees'
skills comparable to their jobs.
Herman said he is in favor of equal
pay for equal work but does not
believe the government should inter
fere in the private sector by evaluat
ing jobs and setting wages.

"There is job discrimination out Some members of the audience
there but I don't think comparable were vocal in opposing the bill. Rich
worth is the way to measure it," he and Cook, industrial relations direc
said. "Personnel administrators tor at Centre Engineering, 2820 E.
should realize job discrimination College Ave., said afterwards that his

Herman also discussed right-to
know proposals, which would protect
workers by informing 'them of the
hazards of dangerous products and
substances they may encounter or
work with.
Route 144
The problem of truck traffic on Route 144 could be
alleviated by requiring highway safety improvements
such as traffic lights and road signs, state Rep. Lynn
Herman said yesterday
Speaking at a State College Area Chamber of Com
merce transportation committee meeting, Herman, R-
Centre, explained that state Transportation Secretary
Thomas Larson had proposed banning trucks from Route
144.
Herman said the ban would reroute trucks to Route 322,
the quickest and most probable alternative. However he
said residents near Philipsburg and Port Matilda are
outraged at the prospect of trucks traveling near their
homes.
Other solutions include detouring trucks onto Route 26,
instead of routes 144 or 322, and onto the State College
bypass, which is not yet completed.
A long-term consideration Herman mentioned would be
to build a bypass around Centre Hall and Pleasant 'Gap. A
truck traffic analysis by PennDOT on the routes has been

company safety procedures the em
ployer is considered personally lia
ble.
"No employers have a real objec
tion to their employees' right-to
know, but it is with employees' neg
truck traffic discussed
completed, Herman said, but the results have not been
received.
Herman also gave a progress report on the State
College bypass construction, saying it is scheduled to be
completed in mid-December. The $1.4 million project,
which began in August 1984, will reroute traffic around
State College. The Elmwood Street construction is com
pleted and the street is now open.
On other subjects, Herman mentined that the 496 acres
in Rush Township that make up the Mid-State Airport are
for sale.
"I see potential with the hangar and the runways there
and it could be a job development center," Herman said.
He also told the transportation committee that the
Senior Citizens Shared Ride program will be restricted to
senior citizens in rural areas
Senior citizens pay 10 percent of the cost of a ride and
the state lottery pays the remainder, he said.

"The courts are saying that it is no
longer good enough to just post warn
ing signs and train employees any
more," he added. "We must now
stand over them and make sure they
wear the protective clothing provided
and follow safety procedures."
In addition, Herman discussed. the

which provides workers with drug,
alcohol and mental illness benefits.
