Urge Your Representatives to Vote for the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act!
The Ledbetter Fair Pay Act (H.R. 11) and the Paycheck Fairness Act (H.R. 12) are headed for a vote on the House floor tomorrow, January 9.
As you know, the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, H.R. 11, would reinstate the "paycheck accrual rule" in effect prior to the Supreme Court’s disastrous Ledbetter ruling in 2007. The legislation would clarify that each paycheck constitutes a new violation for purposes of the statute of limitations under Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Rehabilitation Act. We don’t need to tell you how important this bill is not only for women, but also for African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, other minorities, the disabled, and seniors in order to vindicate their rights when they challenge pay discrimination.
The Paycheck Fairness Act, H.R. 12, would provide a much needed update to the 45-year-old Equal Pay Act by strengthening penalties for equal pay violations; providing the option of an opt-out class action suit under the Equal Pay Act; and providing uncapped damages remedies for sex-based pay discrimination, bringing them into parity with the damages available to employees subject to discrimination on the basis of race or national origin.
The bills’ sponsors are looking forward to a successful vote in the House and plan to forward the bills to the Senate for quick passage there – with the goal of this important pay equity legislation being among the very first laws signed by our new President.
