• holding that the plaintiff’s testimony that she “was required to perform all of the duties previously assigned to her predecessor” met the prima facie burden
• observing that judgment as a matter of law on an affirmative defense is appropriate only if the defense is so clearly established \that no rational jury could have found to the contrary\ (internal quotation marks omitted)
• finding substantial equality between the jobs of two employees, where one was required to perform all of the duties previously performed by the other
• vacating an injunction involving employee’s job duties because the employee was no longer employed
• awarding summary judgment to an employer is proper “only if the record shows that [the defendant] established the defense so clearly that no rational jury could have found to the contrary”
• equal work does not require that the jobs be identical, only that there exists a substantial equality of skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions
