IBN has two manufacturing facilities, one in New York and one in Oklahoma. Marjorie has worked in the Oklahoma plant for 15 years assembling resistors. Her sister, Ellen, has worked at the same plant for 15 years also. Their brother, Hank, has worked there for 10 years in the same job as his sisters. Ellen transfers to the New York facility. Their salaries are now as follows: Marjorie-$12 per hour; Ellen-$19.50 per hour; Hank-$14 per hour. Is there a violation of the Equal Pay Act?
A) Yes, because Ellen's pay is higher than Marjorie's.
B) Yes, because Ellen and Hank receive more per hour than Marjorie.
C) Yes, because Hank's pay is higher than Marjorie's.
D) No, since they are different people with different personalities.
