The Lily Ledbetter story is one of the most compelling arguments for employment law change.
In your own words as an HR business partner consulting with a hiring manager in your organization, explain why the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was enacted, how it complements the Equal Pay Act of 1963, what it hopes to correct, and most importantly, how the Act works to bring fairness to all. As part of your response, think critically about the long-term impacts that Lily (or anyone else in her position) suffered under existing law and how that could have been unfair to them not just in the present day, but for their future financial picture, too.
