Obamarama - First 100 Days
It’s an Obama–Biden love fest here on Jengaworld. What a relief to finally have Democratic administration back in office.
I’m going to post periodically with cool things happening in the new President’s first 100 days. Let’s start today with the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Named after an Arkansas woman whose blatant pay discrimination case was rejected by the Supreme Court, the new act re-sets the 180-day filing limit each time a discriminatory paycheck is received. This is especially important since many women aren’t aware they’re being paid less than their male coworkers — a fact employers of course try to hide.
This was a wonderful first piece of legislation. Yea, Ms. Ledbetter for fighting the good fight! And, yea to our new President for signing!
