House Votes to Reverse Ledbetter

Equal Pay, Supreme Court, Discrimination No Comments »

The House voted Tuesday to reverse the Supreme Court’s Ledbetter decision limiting the time that workers have to sue their employers for pay discrimination. The House voted 225-199 to restart the statute of limitations for pay discrimination lawsuits each time an employee gets a paycheck affected by sexism or racism, repudiating a decision by the high court’s five most conservative justices.

The Bush administration has threatened to veto the legislation.
