The Gender Pay Gap with Lilly Ledbetter

In this episode, we discuss the gender pay gap with guests Lilly Ledbetter and Robin E. Shea, Esq. We talk about Ms. Ledbetter’s experiences with compensation discrimination, her new book Grace and Grit: My Fight for Equal Pay and Fairness at Goodyear and Beyond, her landmark lawsuit, and the Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act of 2009 she inspired. Ms. Shea will discuss the legal and regulatory issues surrounding the gender pay gap and compensation discrimination, and talk about some proposed regulations aimed at eliminating compensation discrimination. We field questions and comments from listeners, and talk about some resources that can help educate you on the gender pay gap, its causes, and how to ensure that your compensation system is equitable. The episode concludes with a conversation about what our guests see as the critical steps we need to take to eliminate compensation discrimination and address the gender pay gap
