This study examines the effective implementation of a 1981 decision by the San Jose City Council to pay its AFSCME‐represented workers $1.45 million iri comparable worth adjustments over the two years. Following a description of expected obstacles, seven reasons for effective implementation are discussed: four beyond the control of implementors–economic health, political climate, collective bargaining context, and scale of the decision–and three within the control of implementors–realism and clarity of policy directive, agency resources and support, and leadership skills.
