It's a trial lawyer's orgasm!
Answer by The Beast
easy. that should be standard.
but court cases that are brought after the statute of limitations has expired should not be phrased as a right. that is indeed a trial lawyers dream...to get paid for work that doesn't have to be done.

Equal Pay for equal work is a RIGHT.
The Ledbetter decision threw out legal precedent honored for decades; that every PAYCHECK would "re-set the clock" on the statute of limitations, because the disparity in pay is a "continuing violation" (it's a legal term). The decision basically said that the clock starts when the pay is originally set.
This ignores the reality that when a person first starts in a new job, they don't know what salary others in the same position across the company make.
Think about this...when you start a new job, do you know what everyone in the same position as you would make? If you were to ask the HR department for the salaries of everyone else in the company in the same position as you; what kind of reception would you get? Would HR even provide that information to you? You would be seen as a "trouble-maker", just for seeking information to make sure you are being paid the same.
Disparity in pay takes YEARS to come to fruition. The SCOTUS decision completely ignored that reality, and tossed out every other decision that recognized it.
And when Congress attempted to correct that, McCain voted against it. The Ledbetter decision was a major set-back in Women's rights.
