the Equal Pay Act of 1963, which made it illegal for employers to pay unequal wages to men and women who perform substantially equal work.

How does this work? Do you go to every woman in the company and tell them "Hey the new guy is a better negotiator than you were, so we're bumping up your salary in order to hire him?" Do you have to offer men similar pay to other men? What about industries where women are paid more then men on average?

Apparently the White House has something of a glass house situation on its hands: http://freebeacon.com/hostile-workplace/
