Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit CLUW.The short explanation of this alert was: The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act -- drafted in response to the Supreme Court's ruling in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, which held that employees must sue for pay discrimination within 180 days of the start of such discrimination -- is in trouble again. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) introduced an alternative bill that would require employees to show they filed their pay discrimination claims within six months of the date when they had -- or "should" have had -- enough information to suspect they'd been subject to discrimination. Misleadingly named the "Title VII Fairness Act," Sen. Hutchison's bill would perpetuate the problems created by the Supreme Court's ruling.
The rights of women in the workplace must be fully restored. Please let Congress know that the Hutchison bill is not a reasonable alternative to the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to combat pay discrimination. Email your Senators today.
