Ok. I’ll take those cases. And, if the woman is fired, I’m going after the employer big-time on the retaliation claim. That’s where punitive damages come in. Plus back pay, front pay, emotional distress…I’ll take the case on contingent. The employer is going to have to pay his lawyer hourly.

Employers, you want to give different pay based on gender? Go ahead, make my day!

Oh, is that why Robert Byrd filibustered this Act here? Because it was unfair to women who might endure wage discrimination?

That explains a lot of things.

Considering how many bad laws you wingnuts have passed in recent years – there’s plenty of room for THAT criticism as well – dum bass NeoNaziCon!

Oh, puhlease! A *redstate* smear is bound to represent the exact opposite. You wingnuts are a bunch of homophobic t*rds – you lying sack of sh*t.

Didn’t you already put that on the ThinkFast thread? That’s sufficient, don’t you think? There are over 150 comments there. You didn’t get enough of a response?

Well, suggestion taken, but I’ve simply got concerns that Alito is too far out of touch, even for my right-wing tastes.

It’s just going to seem a little hollow, the next time TP finds the need to post something that characterizes conservatives as homophobic. The apathy here over Edwards seems a little hypicritical.

Sam Alito is an honorable man; a son of 2 immigrant teachers who grew up , lived the American Dream, and rose to power and status through his own intelligence and hard work.

What exactly does he have to do with the welfare system?

Maybe you should blame the bad law written by Congress instead of the judges who follow it. Just a suggestion.

The plaintiff was wrong to have waited all those years to contest her treatment, but there should have been some kind of back pay award and/or some directive that her pay would be adjusted to that of an equally experienced, regarded, tenured male employee of that company. I didn’t attend law school, so correct me if I’m wrong.

As women employees are the new majority in the U.S. Workforce, the system isn’t adjusting itself. It seems the Alito pack will always try to find some kind of technobabble to deny people with differences reasonable justice.

Get ready, the Alito and Roberts era is in full-throttle until I am at least in my forties.

(However, more women than men are currently graduating from college, so remember fellas, payback is hell.)

Uh, comparing salaries is a good way to get fired. If Alito hadn’t come up through the wingnut welfare system, he might know what people who work for a living know.

As it is, he just legislated from the bench (i.e., that the continuing practice wasn’t illegal), so so much for that talking-point.

Jim Crow used to be THE LAW.

zooey, did you answer my question yet?

Statutes of limitations are fine, but they must be fair — not hidden.

I guess in your world it’s supremely fair for employees to be cheated by employers, and then complain when the employer has to fight the case.

She suspected the discrimination years ago and did nothing. It is her responsibility to look out for herself here. She could have looked into the law. She could have hired a lawyer then. She did neither. People can’t come back 20 years later and say they were discriminated against. Businesses need to be protected just as much as individuals, if not more since they are the the livelihood of other employees.
