I so incredibly hope for this legislation's success. I was so heartbroken this summer when the Supreme Court, in Ledbetter, essentially shredded Title VII. I hope this passes and restores the right of women to pursue workplace discrimination within reasonable expectations, rather than the impractical and seriously un-workable method that the SCOTUS left them with as a result of that ruling.

This is interesting. Is this bill going to make disclosure of everyone's paycheck to all employees mandatory? As it stands now, the pay scale of everyone who works for the state is public record--is it fair that those who work for private businesses get to keep their pay a secret?

We are in denial about class in this country. The people who are making large sums might not want others to know--they don't want to become targets, be exposed to guilt from those who aren't making much--and the people who aren't making much have been handed the meme that they should be ashamed of their lack of earning power in this capitalist, business-loving society. We've been repeating a mantra to ourselves: we're all middle class, we're all middle class. Rinse and repeat.

If full disclosure of pay scales becomes the law (which it seems to me is necessary to have fair pay), we're going to be facing some serious class awareness, and who knows where that will lead. Maybe we'll finally wake up as a nation and see that we need more checks and balances on our economic system for the health of the entire nation.

The Act is designed to correct bad law that led to a bad Supreme Court decision regarding statute of limitations and back pay. It doesn't significantly change the law and doesn't require any disclosure of salaries and wages.
