| I just read this writeup on the latest decision handed down from five men -- even in cases where gender discrimination is clearly at work, the aggrieved party only gets 180 days from the initial discriminatory decision to challenge it.
The decision was made in a case where a woman started off receiving comparable pay but slowly dipped well below what even the worst-paid man in a comparable position was paid. This wasn't a single decision in other words, it was a cumulative number of decisions.
According to Scott Lemieux, a professor of this stuff at Hunter College, this means that the court is basically saying that discriminatory pay is not a problem under statute, just the decision to pay in a discriminatory matter.
All in all -- crazy stuff, as far as I can tell.
Scott's right, though -- this is the sort of issue Congress can address very easily. They should do so. |
