Equal Pay and Earth Day
Call your senators immediately to urge them to vote yes on the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act! The vote is expected Wednesday, April 23. There is not a moment left to lose! This toll free number, 866-338-1015, will be available Monday through Wednesday. Call now!
The House has already passed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to correct the recent Supreme Court decision that guts the ability of women workers to sue for wage discrimination. Celebrate Equal Pay Day by calling your senators toll-free at 866-338-1015 today!
Equal Pay Day and Earth Day are celebrated on the same Day,
April 22.
Lilly Ledbetter worked at Goodyear for nearly 20 years before she discovered that men in the same job were paid more.
The Supreme Court ruled that wage discrimination complaints must be filed within 180 days of the initial discriminatory salary decision, even if the victim is unaware of the discrimination until much later.
This 5-4 decision by the Bush Supreme Court reversed decades of precedent in wage discrimination cases decided under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
Celebrate on Earth Day by calling your Senator and letting them know the following:
Dear Senator_________________
I am writing to urge you to support S.1843, the Fair Pay Restoration Act, to correct the Supreme Court ruling in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. Ignoring decades of precedent under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Supreme Court's decision in the Ledbetter case severely limits women workers' ability to sue for wage discrimination.
The House has already passed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the companion bill to S.1843, and it is imperative that the Senate take immediate action to reverse the Supreme Court's assault on women's right to sue by passing the Fair Pay Restoration Act.
