Female democratic lawmakers hold rally, request passage of fair pay legislation
A group of female Democratic lawmakers held a rally on July 17, 2008, to support the passage of legislation that would overturn Ledbetter v Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co, Inc, a controversial decision from the U.S. Supreme Court that limited the time in which employees can bring disparate pay claims under Title VII. The fair pay rally, which was organized by Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), also focused on another pay equity bill pending before Congress, the Paycheck Fairness Act. The rally is the first event in a series involving the "Checklist for Change," a list of ten issues compiled by Democratic women in the US Senate that Congress can address in order to provide equal pay for working people, keep good jobs in America, fight global climate change and restore America's image around the world.
