Statement of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on Supreme Court Decision on Pay Discrimination
By admin - Posted on May 30th, 2007
May 29, 2007 -- Washington, DC - "Today's decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. interprets Title VII in a way that limits a worker's right to receive equal pay for equal work. In her dissent, Justice Ginsburg invites Congress to remedy this problem. I intend to do just that by introducing legislation to clarify Congressional intent on this issue. All Americans deserve equal pay for equal work, and it is my hope that Congress can remove the technical hurdles that will prevent individuals from receiving what is rightfully theirs."
