Ledbetter Fair Pay Act Signed Into Law
President Obama signs into law the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. The Ledbetter Fair Pay Act overturns a Supreme Court ruling by re-starting the statute of limitations clock every time a worker gets a paycheck or other compensation that is traceable to discrimination -- even if that original discriminatory decision happened years or decades before. It is important legal protection for all female employees that should improve the pay gap between male and female workers.
