 The act sought to reverse the Supreme Court's ruling in "Ledbetter v. Goodyear", which restricted the time period for filing pay discrimination claims, making it more difficult for workers to file a complaint.Under this bill, every discriminatory paycheck or other compensation can be filed, unrestricted from a time period for filing a claim of pay discrimination.Passage of the act did not result in Ledbetter receiving a settlement from Goodyear.
