Jan 29, 2009: The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act extends filing deadlines for complaints of pay bias based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age and/or disability. It clarifies the particulars of employment discrimination and prohibits employers from any action that may be considered retaliatory against employees involved or filing a wage discrimination complaint.
It is a giant step in stamping out pay bias and changes the way employers manage compensation decisions. The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was reintroduced in the House in January 2009 (as H.R. 11 and S. 181), where it passed 247 – 171 along party lines, with nearly every Republican voting against it.
The bill passed in the Senate, 61-36 with every Democratic senator (except Edward Kennedy D-MA, who was absent due to health issues) and all four female Republican senators voting for it along with Arlen Specter R-PA. (Good for you, Senator Specter).
Every Caucasian male Republican member of Congress voted to defeat this law for equal pay.
President Bush summed up the Republican position when he threatened to veto the bill, saying it would “invite a surge of litigation” and “impose a tremendous burden on employers.” On January 29, as the first legislative act of his presidency, Barack Obama signed into law the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
