Lilly Ledbetter

Thank you for all you do. I'm sending you major power and financial vibes. I'm in Etowah County. Feel free to contact me. If I can help, I will.

It was a pleasure meeting you Saturday night in Albuquerque. You are an inspiration to us all!

Dear Lilly,

My name is Matt Conn and I am a MSW graduate student at the University of Kentucky. Though I attend school in Kentucky, I reside and work (employed by Scioto County Children Services) in Portsmouth, OH. I am currently taking a Community and Family Policy class. As one of our assignments, we were asked to conduct an interview on supporters on a policy of our choice. I have chosen the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009.

I can conduct the interview via email. I would really appreciate any information that anyone in your organization could provide to me.

Thank you so much! My friend, Jamie Carver (who's facebook page I am using) is also in the class and is employed with me at Children Services as well.... Read More

Sincerely,

Matt Conn

During this time... Read More, I maintained a solid reputation and outstanding work performance. Thus, I was appalled and dismayed to learn some employees in the company did not want to work with me because I was “colored/black.” When I asked DaimlerChrysler to investigate the work environment, the mangers began a relentless campaign to discredit me, eventually culminating in my termination.

On July 17, 2008, I won the first of two federal lawsuits against Daimler Chrysler (Daimler Chrysler Services Americas, LLC). This suit concluded that Daimler Chrysler Services management acted with malice toward my federally protected rights by retaliating and, wrongful termin

Ms. Ledbetter,
You are so correct. The discrimination of women recieving fair pay is alive and well. I am in the pharmaceutical industry and I see the pay discreptacy all the time. In fact, I have even been told by male bosses that as a woman, I should not be making this amount of money. What is ironic is our company continualy claims that they do...

I am also a sole parent of a young child and have also been told that is a problem concerning my job.
All I want to do is earn a nice living and provide for my child. But I constantly feel I fight for pay and justify my postion.
Thank you.
