Lilly Ledbetter went to court to challenge pay discrimination she experienced as a supervisor at Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. After discovering that she had been earning significantly less than her male counterparts for many years, she filed a lawsuit claiming that her pay was based on gender bias, which violated the Equal Pay Act. Her case highlighted the issues of unequal pay and the challenges women face in addressing such discrimination in the workplace. Ultimately, her lawsuit led to the passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in 2009, which aimed to strengthen protections against pay discrimination.
The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, enacted in 2009, is a U.S. federal law aimed at combating wage discrimination based on gender. It allows individuals to file pay discrimination claims within 180 days of their last paycheck affected by the discriminatory practice, extending the timeframe for legal action. Named after Lilly Ledbetter, who fought against pay inequality after discovering she was paid less than her male counterparts, the act seeks to empower employees to challenge unfair pay practices. This legislation was the first signed into law by President Barack Obama, emphasizing the importance of equal pay for equal work.
