49 Years After Kennedy Signed The Equal Pay Act, Women Still Earn 77 Cents To A Man’s Dollar

137. right, attorneys never take discriminations cases. you want other people to help highly paid

doctors but apparently won't put yourself on the line to defend your own interests.

if there's wage discrimination it's illegal, and has been since 1963. many cases have gone to court since then.

The Equal Pay Act prohibits an employer from discriminating between male and female employees by paying lower wage rates to employees of one sex than to the other for work which requires equal skill, effort and responsibility, and which is performed under similar work conditions. Some segments of American industry continue to operate on the outmoded belief that a man, based upon his role in society, should be paid more than a woman, even though the woman may be performing the same duties.... Burr & Smith, L.L.P. is experienced litigating multiparty cases under this Act. If you are concerned you are not receiving the pay to which you are entitled, contact us for a consultation.
