Equal Pay Day: Feminists Fight for Lilly Ledbetter Pair Pay Act

Today is the twelfth annual Equal Pay Day. Women's groups, including the Feminist Majority, the National Organization for Women, National Women’s Law Center, the National Partnership for Women and Families, and the American Association of University Women are mobilizing members in support of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which the Senate is expected to vote on tomorrow. The bill would correct the recent US Supreme Court decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. that gutted Title VII pay discrimination protections for women workers. The bill passed in the House in July 2007.

Might want to have c-span2 on say, between 10:45 and 11:30, well, fans of floor speeches might, if you know what I mean. ;-)

unrelated but I did not want to start a different thread, two SFRC meetings, 9:30 on Darfur and 2:30 on Tibet (Richard Gere as witness), both on CSPAN3.

5. Anybody knows what happened in the Senate today??

Just saw the very last seconds of McConnell live on CNN, something about the equal pay vote and how the dems are playing games, all-nighter on Iraq (I assume last summer), and the presidential candidates not coming home to vote. Also looks like the Senate is off until 5 ET (the advantage of this being that they will show the Tibet hearing on CSPAN2 at 2:30).
