my mom sent me a link about the lily ledbetter fair pay act of 2009, and so i've been reading some different web sites that talk about it. interesting stuff.
infuriating too. that is, lily ledbetter's situation of having been paid unequal wages for years and when she finally found out about it and sued...well, anyway, you can read about it if you're interested and don't already know. check out wikipedia info about the act that was passed this january: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilly_Ledbetter_Fair_Pay_Act
also, if you're interested in this kind of issue, and don't also know about the paycheck fairness act, then read this excellent document, put out by the national women's law center. the act passed in the house of representatives in january, but is pending in the senate.
