Seals Supports Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
Kirk Sides with Republicans against the Legislation
August 1, 2007
Wilmette, IL- The United States House of Representatives passed the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act yesterday 225-199, which reverses a Supreme Court decision limiting the time that workers have to sue their employers for pay discrimination. The legislation, which Representative Mark Kirk voted against, would allow employees to sue within 180 days of their last affected paychecks.
Dan Seals stated, “It is bad enough that the Supreme Court has made it harder for women to receive equal pay. But when Mark Kirk and his allies tried to keep it that way, they added insult to injury. This needed to be fixed.”
