redblack..
the teeth came out of the ledbetter act when the supreme court ruled that you had to file wage discrimination in a timely manner and specified the time.. i think 6 months.
where workers aren’t unionized non-disclosure of wages is typical so many workers who suffer wage discrimination don’t find out about it early enough to file.
once the initial discrimination exists… as long as raises show some parity.. ie percentage increase for similar performance reviews… the legal obligation of wage parity is considered to have been met :(
DP…
that argument has been used as the justification for female wage disparity for a long time…
but isn’t using it against females who may or may not choose to procreate just a little self serving?
