Vote Coming up Now on the Wage Discrimination Bill
Edited on Thu Jan-22-09 11:38 AM by nomaco-10
for the Lily Ledbetter Fair Wage Act for Women introduced by Senator Mikulski. Barbara Boxer came to the floor in support and called hutchison's amendment "pernicious" in a very passionate plea to vote no on the hutchison amendment.

hutchison's main concern is for business of course, and claims that passage will lead to litigation that could financially hurt business and wants an unreasonable time limit included in a statue of limitations in which a female employee had the right to sue her employer for discrimination and unfair wages.

Folks, we're getting ready to see what kind of senate we've got.
