57. Sex bias suit dismissal upheld: an Iowa City PRESS-CITIZEN original newspaper clipping, 1978 April 19
Scope and Contents
Related to a lawsuit brought by the City of Iowa City - on behalf of a female job applicant at MRC -against the Measurement Research Center (MRC) division of WLC. The suit was dismissed. Another related clipping about this case - also included in Item No. 55 - is from the Cedar Rapids Gazette newspaper, published a few days later and referring to its own news story where the female applicant's sought position was for a "decollapor" opening. The Gazette follow-up clipping claimed they had checked with MRC and said, "It turns out a decollapor is the operator of a machine that correlates paper. Now is that cleared up?" Well, hardly, they still got it wrong! Decollate: to separate the copies of multiple-copy paper, continuous forms, or computer printout into individual sets or sheets. So, a 'decollator' is the equipment that performs this function, and I suppose a person running this gear could referred to as a decollator operator
