There is no reason to expect Ledbetter to have known the pay of her male counterparts when she recieved her first check. It was also siad that she was aware of the pay, but was obtaining the same amount as the men she worked with. As the years went by the men's pay increased more than hers did. It is discriminatory that they said she should have filed suit at that time. Filing 180 days after she finds out the difference in pay seems to be, to be the only thing that makes sense. It is discriminatory to everyone, because it is not allowing anyone to file suit, unless they do it after their first check. It affects everyone, not just ledbetter. <BR/><BR/>DorySocfamilylesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14634924626669544534noreply@blogger.com
