https://lnkd.in/gU8BY64r Lily Ledbetter: A Pioneer for Pay Equity Lily Ledbetter was an American worker who became a symbol for the fight for pay equity between men and women. She worked at Goodyear Tire & Rubber for nearly 30 years, starting in 1979. Despite her long tenure and consistent performance, she discovered that male colleagues with similar jobs were earning significantly more than her. The Ledbetter Fair Pay Act: In 2009, after retiring, Ledbetter filed a lawsuit against Goodyear, alleging that she had been subjected to pay discrimination. However, the Supreme Court ruled against her, stating that she had filed her lawsuit too late. In response to this decision, Congress passed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in 2009. This law extended the statute of limitations for filing pay discrimination lawsuits, allowing workers to file a claim within 180 days of receiving their last paycheck, even if the discriminatory pay practices occurred years earlier. Ledbetter's Legacy: Lily Ledbetter's case and the subsequent passage of the Fair Pay Act had a significant impact on the fight for pay equity. Her story highlighted the systemic nature of pay discrimination and inspired countless women to speak out against unfair treatment in the workplace. Would you like to know more about the Fair Pay Act or other issues related to pay equity? 2009 you don't say? thinks about this.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) recently issued a decision regarding employee dress code and social justice messages in the workplace. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆: Employees who interact with customers can wear messages like "Black Lives Matter" on their uniforms, even if the company dress code prohibits political messages unrelated to work. The NLRB considered this a form of protected concerted activity, related to prior complaints about alleged discrimination. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀: Review your dress code policies related to political messaging. Consider revising policies to restrict ALL unrelated political messages on uniforms, but consult with legal counsel first. Some states have laws protecting such messaging. Questions?
