(St. Petersburg, Fla.) October 16, 2009 – Lilly Ledbetter, the former Goodyear Tire and Rubber employee who became a leader in the fight for equal pay, will discuss women and the law during USF St. Petersburg’s ...
USF St. Petersburg Center for Civic Engagement
Lilly Ledbetter, a former employee of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., was paid less than her male co-workers doing the same job for close to two decades. It took her many years to find out about the pay gap but when she did she immediately filed a complaint with the EEOC and brought Goodyear to court. Lilly Ledbetter was... awarded more than $3 million in damages, but Goodyear appealed the case all the way to the Supreme Court which reversed the lower court's findings. Congress passed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and President Obama signed the bill into law on January 29, 2009.
The students in Dr. Judithanne Scourfield McLauchlan's Women and the Law class will present research posters on topics related to gender discrimination in the workplace. The research posters will be on display from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the CAC Core. Join our Citizen Scholars as they showcase their findings.
Time:11:00AM Thursday, October 22nd
