Guten Morgen!
Karikatur: Eine Frau mit blonden Haaren und grauem Oberteil steht links vor einem Mann im Anzug, der an einem Schreibtisch sitzt und ihr ein Dokument entgegen hält. Der Mann trägt Brille. Er sagt: „Dass Sie weniger verdienen als Ihre männlichen Kollegen, verstößt gegen europäisches Recht“. „Da werden Sie wohl Strafe zahlen müssen“.
