Equal-pay ruling wins redress for workers 2 TORONTO — In a landmark decision, a human rights tri bunal ruled Wednesday that pub lic servants in female-dominated job categories deserve compensa tion for years of unequal pay. The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal’s decision was a turning point in a 14-year legal battle in volving more than 200,000 pre sent and former federal civil ser vants, most of them women. The complainants initiated le gal action in 1984 arguing that various female-dominated occu pations in the civil service, rang ing from hospital workers to sec retaries, were paid less than comparable job categories domi nated by men. The tribunal upheld the com plaint Wednesday, and said the affected public servants should be eligible for retroactive payment, plus interest, dating to March 1985. Individual complainants are expecting to receive payments in the range of $10,000 to $20,000. Countries disagree about recall of troops 3 KIGALI, Rwanda — Rwanda denied it was ordered to pull its troops out of Congo, saying on Wednesday that the recall was voluntary. Maj. Emmanuel Ndahiro said Rwanda chose to recall more than 100 officers and soldiers so the people of Congo could begin to “sort out their own problems.” But Congolese President Lau rent Kabila said the troops were told to leave to "create orderly rela tions” between the two countries. Kabila warned his own officers in an address Tuesday not to let the withdrawal cause problems. The Rwandan soldiers helped Kabila overthrow longtime dicta tor Mobutu Sese Seko in May 1997 and stayed on to help maintain or der. Kabila renamed the country, which Mobutu called Zaire. Ndahiro said he hoped the Con golese and Rwandan armies would continue to cooperate in maintaining and upgrading secu rity along their long and volatile common border. Campus Briefs New policy on tribes affects tuition rate The Oregon University System has approved a plan to grant resi dent tuition to enrolled members of Oregon tribes, regardless of whether they reside in-state.
