1
00:00:13,548 --> 00:00:15,080
Ladies and gentlemen,
2
00:00:15,082 --> 00:00:16,114
please welcome...
3
00:00:16,116 --> 00:00:19,484
Lilly Ledbetter, from
Jacksonville, Alabama.
4
00:00:26,694 --> 00:00:28,528
Thank you.
5
00:00:28,530 --> 00:00:29,695
Good evening.
6
00:00:29,697 --> 00:00:31,731
My name is Lilly Ledbetter.
7
00:00:31,733 --> 00:00:33,331
Thank you.
8
00:00:37,705 --> 00:00:39,206
Thank you.
9
00:00:50,117 --> 00:00:52,217
Many of you are
probably asking,
10
00:00:52,219 --> 00:00:55,122
"Who's that Alabama
grandma at the podium?"
11
00:00:55,590 --> 00:01:00,595
I can assure you, nobody is
more surprised or humbled...
12
00:01:00,762 --> 00:01:02,427
than I am.
13
00:01:02,429 --> 00:01:05,063
I'm here to talk about
America's commitment to
14
00:01:05,065 --> 00:01:06,464
fairness...
15
00:01:06,466 --> 00:01:07,633
and equality,
16
00:01:07,635 --> 00:01:12,505
and how people like me --
and like you -- suffer...
17
00:01:12,507 --> 00:01:15,206
when that
commitment is betrayed.

- Good catch there, bitch.
54
00:04:24,665 --> 00:04:25,998
I'll get the hang of it.
55
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,465
Sure you will!
56
00:04:27,467 --> 00:04:28,703
Sure.
57
00:04:32,707 --> 00:04:33,839
Mm.
58
00:04:33,841 --> 00:04:35,007
So, the key...
59
00:04:35,009 --> 00:04:36,809
is body position.
60
00:04:36,811 --> 00:04:38,376
Legs wide...
61
00:04:38,378 --> 00:04:39,645
and the knees bent.
All right?
62
00:04:39,647 --> 00:04:41,448
Oh, there you go.
63
00:04:43,283 --> 00:04:44,583
I've got it.
64
00:04:44,585 --> 00:04:45,651
Okay!
65
00:04:45,653 --> 00:04:47,287
Trainee...
66
00:04:47,555 --> 00:04:49,354
All right,y'all, listen up!
67
00:04:49,356 --> 00:04:51,557
Now, my name's Andy Guthrie,I'ma tell you how this whole
68
00:04:51,559 --> 00:04:53,391
process works, all right?
69
00:04:53,393 --> 00:04:56,427
You got six months to prove to
us you've got what it takes to
70
00:04:56,429 --> 00:04:57,663
be a supervisor.
71
00:04:57,665 --> 00:05:00,499
Only problem is I only
got spaces for five,
72
00:05:00,501 --> 00:05:03,536
so you're gonna be rotating
from department to department,
73
00:05:03,538 --> 00:05:06,539
learning the entire process,
at the end of which we're
74
00:05:06,541 --> 00:05:09,008
gonna evaluate yourperformance and observe your
75
00:05:09,010 --> 00:05:11,442
leadership skills, all right?Y'all got it?
76
00:05:16,851 --> 00:05:18,551
Here's some rubber, boys!
77
00:05:21,321 --> 00:05:22,557
Y'all right?
78
00:05:22,890 --> 00:05:24,625
I'll be fine.
79
00:05:47,615 --> 00:05:48,983
- Hey.
-Hi.
80
00:05:50,117 --> 00:05:51,550
Kids get down all right?
81
00:05:51,552 --> 00:05:52,751
Yeah.
82
00:05:52,753 --> 00:05:54,485
Phil give you some trouble?
83
00:05:54,487 --> 00:05:55,957
Not tonight.
84
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,392
What?
85
00:06:01,394 --> 00:06:02,862
What's this?
86
00:06:02,864 --> 00:06:05,698
547 dollars, Goodyear Tire.
87
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:08,067
What...
What the hell is this?
88
00:06:08,069 --> 00:06:10,803
In Life Magazine, an article
about how they were looking to
89
00:06:10,805 --> 00:06:12,638
diversify their
management program.
90
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,740
Ah...
You went and got a job...
91
00:06:14,742 --> 00:06:15,774
without even talking to me.
92
00:06:15,776 --> 00:06:17,743
-I support this family!
-Don't wake the kids.
93
00:06:17,745 --> 00:06:18,744
You
asked me a hundred times;
94
00:06:18,746 --> 00:06:19,778
what'd I say to you?!
95
00:06:19,780 --> 00:06:21,847
Those kids need their
mother, I need my wife!
96
00:06:21,849 --> 00:06:25,017
You work three
jobs, and we're behind.
97
00:06:25,019 --> 00:06:27,086
Two months late
on electricity,
98
00:06:27,088 --> 00:06:28,554
roof leaks...
99
00:06:28,556 --> 00:06:30,823
If I'm earning, you
can get your degree,
100
00:06:30,825 --> 00:06:32,057
transfer into
officer training.
101
00:06:32,059 --> 00:06:35,127
Imagine, instead of building
latrines and barracks on the
102
00:06:35,129 --> 00:06:36,929
base, you could be
a First Lieutenant,
103
00:06:36,931 --> 00:06:38,864
calling the shots!
104
00:06:38,866 --> 00:06:40,065
Times are changing.
105
00:06:40,067 --> 00:06:42,603
What, taking a man's job?!
106
00:06:43,104 --> 00:06:46,071
Well, that's exactly what
they're gonna say!
107
00:06:46,073 --> 00:06:47,840
You used to like that I
was different from the other
108
00:06:47,842 --> 00:06:50,175
girls, that I had
dreams, ambitions.
109
00:06:50,177 --> 00:06:52,845
You think what some
dumbass says matters?
110
00:06:52,847 --> 00:06:55,413
If I'm working, the
whole family does better!
111
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:58,150
Why does that
make you feel bad?!
112
00:06:58,152 --> 00:07:00,753
-Why?!
-I don't know, it just does!
113
00:07:03,758 --> 00:07:05,157
I've put up with your
pride for a long time;
114
00:07:05,159 --> 00:07:06,692
I'm not gonna do it anymore.
115
00:07:06,694 --> 00:07:08,027
I want the kids
to go to college,
116
00:07:08,029 --> 00:07:09,595
I want a...
117
00:07:09,597 --> 00:07:11,730
a nice house with a yard!
118
00:07:11,732 --> 00:07:13,868
I want a big kitchen.
119
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:16,904
I know you want that too.
120
00:07:19,607 --> 00:07:21,175
You went...
121
00:07:22,543 --> 00:07:25,146
You went behind my back.
122
00:07:26,714 --> 00:07:28,816
I'm sorry.
123
00:07:30,651 --> 00:07:33,118
Jesus, all right...
124
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,155
You gonna do whatever the
hell you want to anyway.
125
00:07:37,158 --> 00:07:38,726
Damn it.
126
00:07:41,095 --> 00:07:42,962
-Are you...
127
00:07:42,964 --> 00:07:45,232
-are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.
128
00:07:47,702 --> 00:07:50,703
One ofmy most satisfying terms on
129
00:07:50,705 --> 00:07:53,641
the Court was theLilly Ledbetter case.
130
00:07:54,141 --> 00:07:56,976
Lilly Ledbetter was
an area manager at a
131
00:07:56,978 --> 00:07:58,777
Goodyear Tire plant.
132
00:07:58,779 --> 00:08:01,983
It was a job that
had been held...
133
00:08:02,750 --> 00:08:04,183
dominantly by men.
134
00:08:04,185 --> 00:08:07,653
The five pallets were
received and signed for?
135
00:08:07,655 --> 00:08:10,222
Yes,
yes, ma'am, we got it.
136
00:08:10,224 --> 00:08:13,692
And the radials, and
the-- the cross plys?
137
00:08:13,694 --> 00:08:16,128
-Mm-hm.
138
00:08:17,999 --> 00:08:20,065
That's a good job, Johnny.

142
00:08:29,744 --> 00:08:30,811
Hey.
143
00:08:31,746 --> 00:08:33,614
I read the report.
144
00:08:34,615 --> 00:08:37,616
We don't abide
hearsay at Goodyear.
145
00:08:37,618 --> 00:08:39,952
If this female would like
to bring a charge of her own
146
00:08:39,954 --> 00:08:41,756
herself...
147
00:08:42,056 --> 00:08:43,991
well, then, uh...
148
00:08:44,959 --> 00:08:47,126
we could take it from there.
149
00:08:47,128 --> 00:08:51,163
Everywoman of Lilly's generation
150
00:08:51,165 --> 00:08:52,664
knew...
151
00:08:52,666 --> 00:08:57,069
that if you are
the first woman...
152
00:08:57,071 --> 00:08:59,605
in a field that has
been occupied by men,
153
00:08:59,607 --> 00:09:01,707
you don't want to be
known as a complainer,
154
00:09:01,709 --> 00:09:04,176
you don't wantto rock the boat.

But then, it was...
359
00:18:57,572 --> 00:18:59,907
"You took a man's job."
360
00:19:00,875 --> 00:19:04,810
I had my tires slashes,
my windshield busted,
361
00:19:04,812 --> 00:19:07,278
tobacco juice
poured all over my car.
362
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,483
It was a free-for-all, and
everybody is related to some
363
00:19:11,485 --> 00:19:13,284
uncle or cousin --
if you complain,
364
00:19:13,286 --> 00:19:14,820
they just say...
365
00:19:14,822 --> 00:19:17,290
"We don't mess with kin."
366
00:19:17,525 --> 00:19:20,291
Shouldn't a company be
responsible for how their
367
00:19:20,293 --> 00:19:21,896
people act?!
368
00:19:22,597 --> 00:19:25,566
Violations are hard to prove.
369
00:19:27,902 --> 00:19:29,902
This pedestal...
370
00:19:29,904 --> 00:19:33,371
that many of us have
thought women are on,
371
00:19:33,373 --> 00:19:35,373
in reality...
372
00:19:35,375 --> 00:19:38,511
too often turns
out to be a cage.
373
00:19:38,513 --> 00:19:40,880
Uh, Mrs. Ledbetter,
this is Mike Quinn.
374
00:19:40,882 --> 00:19:44,784
His name is on the door and he's
gonna ask you some questions.
375
00:19:44,786 --> 00:19:47,285
Mrs. Ledbetter,
thank you for coming in.
376
00:19:47,287 --> 00:19:48,453
Nice meetin' you.
377
00:19:48,455 --> 00:19:51,256
I'm sorry for what you've
been going through, ma'am!
378
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,527
I guess my first
question is, uh...
379
00:19:54,529 --> 00:19:57,395
do you think you might've been
singled out for some reason?
380
00:19:57,397 --> 00:20:00,231
You mean 'cause I'm
smarter than the lot of 'em?
381
00:20:00,233 --> 00:20:02,200
Most of 'em barely read.
382
00:20:02,202 --> 00:20:03,502
What about other women?
383
00:20:03,504 --> 00:20:05,805
Do you think that they
had similar experiences?
384
00:20:05,807 --> 00:20:07,673
Most girls can't
stomach the floor,
385
00:20:07,675 --> 00:20:10,241
or have the training
to be area managers,
386
00:20:10,243 --> 00:20:12,678
engineer techs,
or supervisors.
387
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,749
I don't understand why you
stayed under such miserable
388
00:20:16,751 --> 00:20:18,584
circumstances.
389
00:20:18,586 --> 00:20:19,987
Why?
390
00:20:20,888 --> 00:20:23,321
A supervisor position
at Goodyear was the
391
00:20:23,323 --> 00:20:27,560
highest-paying job
in the county, by far!
392
00:20:27,562 --> 00:20:30,596
That's-- that's new shoes for
my kids and more than fried
393
00:20:30,598 --> 00:20:32,230
bologna for dinner!
394
00:20:32,232 --> 00:20:35,366
Certainly, no amount of
money is worth your health and
395
00:20:35,368 --> 00:20:36,838
safety!
396
00:20:37,505 --> 00:20:41,709
I haven't had the privilege
to see it that way, Mr. Quinn.
397
00:20:43,410 --> 00:20:46,946
When our son was little, he
had ear infections all the
398
00:20:46,948 --> 00:20:51,953
time, but we couldn't afford the
operation to put the tubes in.
399
00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:55,988
So, the doctor, he
suggested I get into a program
400
00:20:55,990 --> 00:20:58,557
where women were being paid...
401
00:20:58,559 --> 00:21:01,394
to let surgeons
practice on 'em.
402
00:21:03,865 --> 00:21:05,933
Hysterectomies.
403
00:21:07,535 --> 00:21:11,269
He said I should have my
uterus and ovaries removed to
404
00:21:11,271 --> 00:21:13,040
pay for the ears.
405
00:21:15,910 --> 00:21:19,781
Believe me, I
thought about it.
406
00:21:25,485 --> 00:21:27,686
I'm a hard-worker.
407
00:21:27,688 --> 00:21:30,290
That's just who I am.
408
00:21:30,892 --> 00:21:33,659
So, what do you
think, do I have a case?
409
00:21:33,661 --> 00:21:36,962
I would love to
whoop Goodyear's ass.
410
00:21:36,964 --> 00:21:38,329
But...
411
00:21:38,331 --> 00:21:42,300
we need to get 'em on
environmental negligence or...
412
00:21:42,302 --> 00:21:44,904
patent violations, or wage
and hour class action --
413
00:21:44,906 --> 00:21:46,371
something with teeth.
414
00:21:46,373 --> 00:21:47,573
But they have
government contracts;
415
00:21:47,575 --> 00:21:49,074
don't they have to
do things right?
416
00:21:49,076 --> 00:21:51,811
There's no federal law
that mandates compliance.
417
00:21:51,813 --> 00:21:54,379
Your workers were protected,
but only because of their
418
00:21:54,381 --> 00:21:55,313
union.
419
00:21:55,315 --> 00:21:57,315
Supervisors don't
have any protection.
420
00:21:57,317 --> 00:21:59,450
From a
legal standpoint...
421
00:21:59,452 --> 00:22:01,086
there's nothing we can do.
422
00:22:01,088 --> 00:22:05,090
Without a doubt, your
treatment was an abomination.
423
00:22:05,092 --> 00:22:07,492
Mrs. Ledbetter, I'm sorry.
424
00:22:07,494 --> 00:22:10,497
It was very nice meeting you.
425
00:22:16,369 --> 00:22:17,705
Good luck.
426
00:22:22,109 --> 00:22:24,111
Thank
you for coming in.
427
00:22:26,948 --> 00:22:29,582
-Can I...
-No.
428
00:22:38,659 --> 00:22:41,560
My employer treated
me like a second-class citizen
429
00:22:41,562 --> 00:22:42,728
because I'm a woman.
430
00:22:42,730 --> 00:22:44,930
I gave them 20 years.
431
00:22:44,932 --> 00:22:47,633
You think they should get
away with how they treated me?
432
00:22:47,635 --> 00:22:50,803
No.
No, I do not.
433
00:22:50,805 --> 00:22:54,006
Look, we take these cases
on a contingency basis,
434
00:22:54,008 --> 00:22:57,910
so your complaint has to fit
into a very specific violation
435
00:22:57,912 --> 00:23:00,378
or else there's just not
enough of a guarantee,
436
00:23:00,380 --> 00:23:03,551
and we don't get
paid unless we win.
437
00:23:03,918 --> 00:23:05,052

00:29:54,228 --> 00:29:56,428
she held a knife
to his throat,
536
00:29:56,430 --> 00:29:58,897
so I know a thing or
two about rough stuff,
537
00:29:58,899 --> 00:30:00,801
Mr. Goldfarb.
538
00:30:13,113 --> 00:30:14,212
What's this?
539
00:30:14,214 --> 00:30:16,450
That is due diligence.
540
00:30:18,052 --> 00:30:21,453
The court needs to see Lilly
Ledbetter as more than just a
541
00:30:21,455 --> 00:30:23,255
factory manager,
although I do have to say,
542
00:30:23,257 --> 00:30:26,024
Lilly Ledbetter, the
cheerleader and ballroom
543
00:30:26,026 --> 00:30:28,594
dancer was, uh, a
bit of a surprise.
544
00:30:28,596 --> 00:30:30,262
Mm.
545
00:30:30,264 --> 00:30:31,463
"Girl Gumption."
546
00:30:31,465 --> 00:30:32,497
Oh, Lord...
547
00:30:36,203 --> 00:30:40,072
I wanted that uniform so bad,
but my mother saw the world
548
00:30:40,074 --> 00:30:43,310
another way -- said I
wasn't the cheerleader type.
549
00:30:43,977 --> 00:30:46,078
I baked up a storm,
550
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,514
sold cakes at church --
it was Charles' idea.
551
00:30:48,516 --> 00:30:50,384
I got that uniform.
552
00:30:52,119 --> 00:30:54,188
We were married...
553
00:30:55,055 --> 00:30:57,091
several months later.
554
00:30:57,458 --> 00:30:58,957
Is she still with us?
555
00:30:58,959 --> 00:31:00,892
-Edna?
- Mm.
556
00:31:00,894 --> 00:31:02,861
Lost her some time back.
557
00:31:02,863 --> 00:31:04,429
Mm.
558
00:31:04,431 --> 00:31:08,636
She was like a dog who'd
been kicked around too much.
559
00:31:10,505 --> 00:31:13,173
It doesn't make the dog bad.
560
00:31:13,541 --> 00:31:18,546
She wanted me prepared for
the world the way she saw it.
561
00:31:19,246 --> 00:31:21,279
Made me who I am.
562
00:31:21,281 --> 00:31:23,050
I'm grateful.
563
00:31:24,918 --> 00:31:26,418
Uh...
564
00:31:26,420 --> 00:31:29,657
we need to talk about you
getting me some witnesses,
565
00:31:30,124 --> 00:31:33,258
Folks who are gonna be willing
to testify on your behalf,
566
00:31:33,260 --> 00:31:35,360
counter Goodyear's claims.
567
00:31:35,362 --> 00:31:37,963
That is gonna be very
crucial to our case.
568
00:31:37,965 --> 00:31:39,599
Now, uh...
569
00:31:39,601 --> 00:31:44,606
I suggest the crying
tiger tofu if you like spicy,
570
00:31:45,139 --> 00:31:46,972
which I do.
571
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,249
Debra!
Debra!
572
00:31:58,318 --> 00:32:00,152
What are you doing here?!
573
00:32:00,154 --> 00:32:03,488
I need somebody
to tell the truth.
574
00:32:03,490 --> 00:32:05,593
Please!
575
00:32:08,663 --> 00:32:11,430
Lilly, I want to help you.
576
00:32:11,432 --> 00:32:13,033
I do.
577
00:32:13,233 --> 00:32:16,001
But the company matches my
contributions for Courtney's
578
00:32:16,003 --> 00:32:17,637
disability!
579
00:32:17,639 --> 00:32:19,707
I can't jeopardize that!
580
00:32:20,642 --> 00:32:22,307
I won't.
581
00:32:54,475 --> 00:32:56,642
Mrs.Ledbetter, folks...
582
00:32:56,644 --> 00:32:59,712
let's look at exhibit one:
583
00:32:59,714 --> 00:33:04,218
area manager base
salary comparison chart.
584
00:33:04,719 --> 00:33:05,984
Now...
585
00:33:05,986 --> 00:33:08,286
what does that mean to you?
586
00:33:08,288 --> 00:33:09,722
Well, that's my
income last year,
587
00:33:09,724 --> 00:33:13,024
along with all the other
supervisors' salaries.
588
00:33:13,026 --> 00:33:16,995
But... we had no way of
knowing what anybody was making.
589
00:33:16,997 --> 00:33:18,296
And why is that?
590
00:33:18,298 --> 00:33:20,600
Well, the first thing you had
to do when you were hired was
591
00:33:20,602 --> 00:33:23,268
sign
non-disclosure agreements.
592
00:33:23,270 --> 00:33:24,704
If you talked
about what you earned,
593
00:33:24,706 --> 00:33:26,271
you'd be fired.
594
00:33:26,273 --> 00:33:29,407
Goodyear
was...strict about that.
595
00:33:29,409 --> 00:33:34,379
Now, your income is
15,000 dollars less
596
00:33:34,381 --> 00:33:36,414
than other managers
who are on this list,
597
00:33:36,416 --> 00:33:41,152
and if you include
overtime, it is half...
598
00:33:41,154 --> 00:33:44,557
half of what the
men are making.
599
00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:46,057
You know why that might be?
600
00:33:46,059 --> 00:33:47,693
No, sir, I do not.
601
00:33:47,695 --> 00:33:49,562
Do you think it might
be because you're a woman?
602
00:33:49,564 --> 00:33:52,297
- Objection! Leading the
witness! - Sustained.
603
00:33:52,299 --> 00:33:53,668
Withdrawn.
604
00:33:54,569 --> 00:33:58,571
Mrs. Ledbetter, when you
began your career at Goodyear,
605
00:33:58,573 --> 00:34:01,774
how many women were in
management positions?
606
00:34:01,776 --> 00:34:03,475
None.
607
00:34:03,477 --> 00:34:04,777
None.
608
00:34:04,779 --> 00:34:08,514
And when you ended your career
at Goodyear 19 years and nine
609
00:34:08,516 --> 00:34:11,751
months later,
how many women...
610
00:34:11,753 --> 00:34:14,352
were in managerial positions?
611
00:34:14,354 --> 00:34:15,588
None.
612
00:34:18,191 --> 00:34:19,661
None.
613
00:34:21,295 --> 00:34:22,595
Thank you.
614
00:34:22,597 --> 00:34:24,797
It wasargued early on that sexual
615
00:34:24,799 --> 00:34:28,534
harassment has nothing to dowith gender discrimination.
616
00:34:28,536 --> 00:34:31,504
Everyone knows
boys will be boys,
617
00:34:31,506 --> 00:34:33,271
and that was...
618
00:34:33,273 --> 00:34:34,840
that was that, but...
619
00:34:34,842 --> 00:34:39,512
there-- there are
state and federal laws --
620
00:34:39,514 --> 00:34:43,081
the laws are there,
the laws are in place.
621
00:34:43,083 --> 00:34:45,150
It takes people...
622
00:34:45,152 --> 00:34:46,752
to step forward and use them.
623
00:34:46,754 --> 00:34:50,088
Mrs. Ledbetter, please tell
the court what occurred on May
624
00:34:50,090 --> 00:34:52,794
17th, 1998.
625
00:34:54,227 --> 00:34:55,661
You mean the fire?
626
00:34:55,663 --> 00:34:58,263
Multiple men treated
for first-degree burns,
627
00:34:58,265 --> 00:35:01,601
hundreds of tires scrapped,
and who did the investigation
628
00:35:01,603 --> 00:35:03,636
-find responsible?
-I-- I was not!
629
00:35:03,638 --> 00:35:05,538
It was a
mechanical malfunction!
630
00:35:05,540 --> 00:35:08,473
Ask Andy Guthrie; he was
the first one on the scene!
631
00:35:08,475 --> 00:35:11,343
In June of 1981, did the
production line stop because
632
00:35:11,345 --> 00:35:12,310
you didn't know the circuitry?
633
00:35:12,312 --> 00:35:14,747
No, they reconfigured
it to sabotage me
634
00:35:14,749 --> 00:35:15,848
to make me look bad!
635
00:35:15,850 --> 00:35:18,450
Production stoppages,
workers' lives at stake--
636
00:35:18,452 --> 00:35:20,318
You cannot connect those two!
637
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,822
Your Honor!
Badgering.
638
00:35:22,824 --> 00:35:24,657
Withdrawn.
639
00:35:24,659 --> 00:35:26,792
- Break for lunch!
640
00:35:26,794 --> 00:35:28,326
One hour!
641
00:35:28,328 --> 00:35:29,895
At thefirst indication that she was
642
00:35:29,897 --> 00:35:31,864
paid less, the defensewould have been
643
00:35:31,866 --> 00:35:34,634
"Oh, it had nothing to dowith Lilly being a woman.
644
00:35:34,636 --> 00:35:37,705
She just doesn't do
the job as well."
645
00:35:40,374 --> 00:35:43,776
But then, when she's done the
job year after year and gets
646
00:35:43,778 --> 00:35:46,413
good performance ratings...
647
00:35:47,147 --> 00:35:49,682
that defense is no
longer available,
648
00:35:49,684 --> 00:35:51,817
and she has a winnable case.
649
00:35:51,819 --> 00:35:54,319
Mr. Vogel, can you
tell us about your company's
650
00:35:54,321 --> 00:35:58,356
policy regarding pay
increases for plant managers?
651
00:35:58,358 --> 00:36:01,326
Pay for performance, Mr.
Goldfarb, it's very simple.
652
00:36:01,328 --> 00:36:05,165
And what can you tell us about
Mrs. Ledbetter's performance?
653
00:36:06,233 --> 00:36:08,299
Mrs. Ledbetter wants us
to believe that she was
654
00:36:08,301 --> 00:36:10,402
undervalued and underpaid.
655
00:36:10,404 --> 00:36:13,706
She was simply an
underperforming employee.
656
00:36:13,708 --> 00:36:16,942
If she wins, women all over
the country are going to use
657
00:36:16,944 --> 00:36:19,647
this as an excuse to sue.
658
00:36:20,247 --> 00:36:24,282
She was bossy, thought she was
better than everybody else.
659
00:36:24,284 --> 00:36:25,951
Nobody liked working with her.
660
00:36:25,953 --> 00:36:27,555
Nobody.
661
00:36:27,755 --> 00:36:29,789
Her evaluations were weak.
662
00:36:29,791 --> 00:36:31,557
Productivity was subpar.
663
00:36:31,559 --> 00:36:34,827
That woman has serious
issues with authority.
664
00:36:34,829 --> 00:36:37,563
She was not what you'd
call a "team player."
665
00:36:37,565 --> 00:36:39,330
And respect?
666
00:36:39,332 --> 00:36:41,701
She never knew her place
around upper management.
667
00:36:41,703 --> 00:36:43,035
Never.
668
00:36:43,037 --> 00:36:46,371
Womenwere hesitant to come forward.
669
00:36:46,373 --> 00:36:48,974
I think one of the
principle reasons for it:
670
00:36:48,976 --> 00:36:52,310
they feared that they
would not be believed.
671
00:36:52,312 --> 00:36:54,647
-Andy...
-I-- I can't be talking to you.
672
00:36:54,649 --> 00:36:56,414
You know I'm a good worker.
673
00:36:56,416 --> 00:36:57,550
It doesn't matter what I know.
674
00:36:57,552 --> 00:36:59,286
It does to me!
675
00:37:01,622 --> 00:37:04,391
Well, then, I'll tell
you straight to your face:
676
00:37:05,225 --> 00:37:08,594
you worked harder and smarter
than any supervisor I ever
677
00:37:08,596 --> 00:37:09,931
trained.
678
00:37:10,497 --> 00:37:11,999
But in there?
679
00:37:13,735 --> 00:37:15,668
No way.
680
00:37:29,449 --> 00:37:31,519
I can't sleep either.
681
00:37:35,355 --> 00:37:37,491
Cowards and bullies.
682
00:37:38,626 --> 00:37:41,829
They wouldn't last one day
if the tables were turned.
683
00:37:42,930 --> 00:37:44,630
20 years of this bullshit.
684

Did you see that jury, the
way they looked at you?!

-How are y'all?!
714
00:39:05,445 --> 00:39:08,379
Remember: it's poultry,
automotive, and mining that
715
00:39:08,381 --> 00:39:10,616
makes Alabama great!
716
00:39:10,618 --> 00:39:12,350
Mornin', how
y'all doin' today?
717
00:39:12,352 --> 00:39:14,553
-Pastor!
-It's a fine morning, isn't it?
718
00:39:14,555 --> 00:39:15,654
It
certainly is, Charles.
719

-Lilly...
-Hello.
720
00:39:17,758 --> 00:39:18,991
I want to give you a heads up:
721
00:39:18,993 --> 00:39:20,626
there's been a
change of plan.
722
00:39:20,628 --> 00:39:22,695
Well, what ever you need!
723
00:39:22,697 --> 00:39:24,429
Well...
724
00:39:24,431 --> 00:39:27,498

best idea for you to address
725

that's going on right now.
727
00:39:31,939 --> 00:39:34,439
Timing's not good with
that lawsuit and all.
728
00:39:34,441 --> 00:39:35,808
What?!
729
00:39:35,810 --> 00:39:38,711
-Wh-- he--
-Congressman McGintry is, uh,
730
00:39:38,713 --> 00:39:40,478
joining us today.
731
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:41,881
Washington man running for
reelection -- it's a big honor
732
00:39:41,883 --> 00:39:43,515
for us.
733
00:39:43,517 --> 00:39:45,786
My father was a pastor here.
734
00:39:46,453 --> 00:39:47,418
My grandpa, too.
735
00:39:47,420 --> 00:39:49,688
Four generations
belonged to this ministry.
736
00:39:49,690 --> 00:39:51,957
Of course.
And we're deeply indebted to
737
00:39:51,959 --> 00:39:54,425

738
00:39:54,427 --> 00:39:55,828
Let's just...
739
00:39:55,830 --> 00:39:58,097
Let's just revisit
this in a few months,
740
00:39:58,099 --> 00:40:00,431
when everything's
quieted down, how's that?
741
00:40:00,433 --> 00:40:03,869
You think testimony to
the Lord has a right time?
742
00:40:03,871 --> 00:40:05,905
Maybe it's time for you
to review your Matthew,
743
00:40:05,907 --> 00:40:08,173
chapter five, verse ten.
744
00:40:08,175 --> 00:40:10,876
"Blessed are they who are
persecuted for the sake of
745
00:40:10,878 --> 00:40:12,780
righteousness."
746
00:40:13,047 --> 00:40:14,947
C'mon, Lilly.
747
00:40:46,781 --> 00:40:48,182
Jesus...
748
00:40:52,753 --> 00:40:54,121

749
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,487
Lilly?!
Lilly!
750
00:40:56,489 --> 00:40:58,057
-What?! What?!
- Oh...
751
00:40:58,059 --> 00:40:59,692
somebody poisoned the feeders!
752
00:40:59,694 --> 00:41:01,694
-What?!
-Someone...
753
00:41:01,696 --> 00:41:03,798
poisoned the feeders.
754
00:41:08,903 --> 00:41:10,069
Mr. Granger...
755
00:41:10,071 --> 00:41:13,772
thank you for coming all
this way to provide testimony.
756
00:41:13,774 --> 00:41:14,873
It's my pleasure.
757
00:41:14,875 --> 00:41:18,143
When did you
first meet Mrs. Ledbetter?
758
00:41:18,145 --> 00:41:21,547
We started out together
as supervisor trainees.
759
00:41:21,549 --> 00:41:23,849
When you started at Goodyear,
did you have a college
760
00:41:23,851 --> 00:41:25,918
-education?
-No, sir.
761
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,020
I hadn't even
finished high school.
762
00:41:28,022 --> 00:41:30,022
But, since then, with
the company's support,
763
00:41:30,024 --> 00:41:32,891
I've earned my
Bachelor's and an MBA.
764
00:41:32,893 --> 00:41:34,829
An MBA?
765
00:41:35,529 --> 00:41:36,829
Wow.
766
00:41:36,831 --> 00:41:38,630
Now, what is your
current position?
767
00:41:38,632 --> 00:41:41,066
I'm a senior vice president,
North American division,
768
00:41:41,068 --> 00:41:42,868
in Akron, Ohio.
769
00:41:42,870 --> 00:41:45,137
But I won't be, after today.
770
00:41:45,139 --> 00:41:48,073
I've accepted a new
position at a non-profit that
771
00:41:48,075 --> 00:41:51,577
repurposes synthesized
elastomer petroleum --
772
00:41:51,579 --> 00:41:53,178
essentially recycling tires.
773
00:41:53,180 --> 00:41:55,182
-Thank you.
774
00:41:55,750 --> 00:41:57,282
Now, Mr. Granger, when
you worked at Goodyear,
775
00:41:57,284 --> 00:42:00,252
were you present at a
meeting in which Mr. Dawkins
776
00:42:00,254 --> 00:42:02,755
criticized Miss
Ledbetter and her performance,
777
00:42:02,757 --> 00:42:05,257
despite the fact that her
production numbers were the
778
00:42:05,259 --> 00:42:07,259
best in the plant?
779
00:42:07,261 --> 00:42:09,163
Yes, I was.
780
00:42:09,630 --> 00:42:12,967
Would you tell the court
what you heard him say?
781
00:42:15,636 --> 00:42:17,970
I apologize, Lilly, you
shouldn't have to hear this.
782
00:42:17,972 --> 00:42:19,840
It's okay, Tim.
783
00:42:21,976 --> 00:42:24,710
He said, "I won't give
that effin' bitch a raise."
784
00:42:28,649 --> 00:42:31,817
Now, Mr. Granger, with
your fine education,
785
00:42:31,819 --> 00:42:35,087
do you think that you
can calculate for us the
786
00:42:35,089 --> 00:42:38,123
difference in what Mrs.
Ledbetter's income might have
787
00:42:38,125 --> 00:42:41,727
been over the course of her
career if she had had the same
788
00:42:41,729 --> 00:42:46,031
access to salary, raises,
overtime as you and the other
789
00:42:46,033 --> 00:42:47,099
men that she worked with?
790
00:42:47,101 --> 00:42:48,267
Objection!
791
00:42:48,269 --> 00:42:51,036
Speculation -- the witness
is not a qualified expert!
792
00:42:51,038 --> 00:42:52,971
An expert in math?!
793
00:42:52,973 --> 00:42:54,273
Sustained.
794
00:42:54,275 --> 00:42:56,275
About 500,000 dollars.
795
00:42:56,277 --> 00:42:57,709
Move to
strike, Your Honor!
796
00:42:57,711 --> 00:43:00,679
That testimony will
be stricken from the record!
797
00:43:00,681 --> 00:43:02,149
Nothing further.
798
00:43:02,616 --> 00:43:04,316
Onecase that gave me enormous
799
00:43:04,318 --> 00:43:07,052
satisfaction wasLilly Ledbetter's case.
800
00:43:07,054 --> 00:43:10,155
One day, someone puts a slip
of paper in her mailbox with a
801
00:43:10,157 --> 00:43:12,091
series of numbers.
802
00:43:12,093 --> 00:43:16,030
They were the pay of allthe other area managers.
803
00:43:16,831 --> 00:43:20,999
And the young man she had
just trained for the job was
804
00:43:21,001 --> 00:43:23,671
earning more than she was.
805
00:43:25,005 --> 00:43:28,173
You know, I'd like to deck
every one of those assholes.
806
00:43:28,175 --> 00:43:29,141
Oh, yeah...
807
00:43:29,143 --> 00:43:30,709
So, she said,
808
00:43:30,711 --> 00:43:32,111
"I've had it.
809
00:43:32,113 --> 00:43:34,113
I'm going to sue."
810
00:43:34,115 --> 00:43:36,148

our anti-discrimination and

00:47:45,032 --> 00:47:47,399
-Good to see you up!
-I'll just-- I'll wait outside.

895

with a malignancy.
896

897

have a good prognosis.

everybody does fine,
906
00:48:21,603 --> 00:48:23,404

907
00:48:24,104 --> 00:48:25,605
All right, Jon,
let's have it.
908
00:48:25,607 --> 00:48:28,940
I know you didn't come here
just to bring me some flowers.
909
00:48:30,911 --> 00:48:32,479
Uh...
910
00:48:34,047 --> 00:48:36,283
Well, um...
911
00:48:37,050 --> 00:48:39,251
-we lost the appeal.
-What?!
912
00:48:39,253 --> 00:48:41,987
They decided to
disregard the previous ruling,
913
00:48:41,989 --> 00:48:45,457
and they found that you had to
have filed a complaint within
914
00:48:45,459 --> 00:48:49,529
180 days of the original
discriminatory paycheck.
915
00:48:49,531 --> 00:48:51,930
"First" as in 20 years ago?
916
00:48:51,932 --> 00:48:53,633
How could she
complain if she didn't know?
917
00:48:53,635 --> 00:48:55,100
It makes no sense!
918
00:48:55,102 --> 00:48:57,202
Look, we all grow up thinking
that the law is based on the
919
00:48:57,204 --> 00:48:59,505
truth, and in reality, it's
really about who can best
920
00:48:59,507 --> 00:49:01,239
manipulate the system.
921
00:49:01,241 --> 00:49:03,509
How could two different courts
come up with two different
922
00:49:03,511 --> 00:49:05,210
-conclusions?
- Right!
923
00:49:05,212 --> 00:49:06,712
See, that's
exactly the problem;
924
00:49:06,714 --> 00:49:10,015
there is a discrepancy in
the interpretation of the law,
925
00:49:10,017 --> 00:49:12,552
and that is why the partners
and I would like to take
926
00:49:12,554 --> 00:49:13,586
this...
927
00:49:13,588 --> 00:49:16,023
to the Supreme Court.
928
00:49:16,390 --> 00:49:18,558
-The Supreme Court?
- Yeah.
929
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,093
See, in our original case, the
court found that every single
930
00:49:22,095 --> 00:49:25,096
one of Lilly's paychecks was
discriminatory because she
931
00:49:25,098 --> 00:49:27,567
continued to be unfairly
paid based on the first unfair
932
00:49:27,569 --> 00:49:29,468
paycheck, but the
appellate court found that,
933
00:49:29,470 --> 00:49:32,538
because she didn't file her
complaint within 180 days,
934
00:49:32,540 --> 00:49:34,973
that the rest of the
paychecks were all fine.
935
00:49:34,975 --> 00:49:37,976
So the company profits
from that injustice her whole
936
00:49:37,978 --> 00:49:40,011
career by keeping her
at the lowest salary.
937
00:49:40,013 --> 00:49:42,447
I mean, the
raises, the pension,
938
00:49:42,449 --> 00:49:46,519
contributions, social security
that I should have gotten!
939
00:49:46,521 --> 00:49:48,119
That's right,
if this ruling is allowed to
940
00:49:48,121 --> 00:49:51,256
stand, it puts a very
bad law on the books,
941
00:49:51,258 --> 00:49:54,092
and we can't let that happen.
942
00:49:54,094 --> 00:49:55,260
So...
943
00:49:55,262 --> 00:49:56,762
good news:
944
00:49:56,764 --> 00:49:59,599
I contacted the best Supreme
Court specialist that I know,
945
00:49:59,601 --> 00:50:02,100
and he has agreed to
argue your case pro bono.
946
00:50:02,102 --> 00:50:03,636
Well, I feel better already.
947
00:50:03,638 --> 00:50:05,405
But...
948
00:50:05,707 --> 00:50:09,341
the Supreme Court rejects 99
percent of the cases that are
949
00:50:09,343 --> 00:50:12,778
submitted to it,
and this case is...
950
00:50:12,780 --> 00:50:15,146
it's a long shot, at best.
951
00:50:15,148 --> 00:50:17,182
Either way...
952
00:50:17,184 --> 00:50:21,186
it's gonna take
some time, so, you...
953
00:50:21,188 --> 00:50:24,222
just worry about
getting better, okay?
954
00:50:24,224 --> 00:50:26,460
I will take care of the rest.
955
00:50:27,327 --> 00:50:28,493
Thank you, Jon.
956
00:50:28,495 --> 00:50:31,064
-Bye.
-Yeah, all right.
957
00:50:31,633 --> 00:50:34,366
Enjoy your happy drugs.
958
00:50:46,113 --> 00:50:49,281
The fundamental disagreement
in this case is the definition
959
00:50:49,283 --> 00:50:51,684
of "unlawful
employment practice."
960
00:50:51,686 --> 00:50:52,985
For years, my
client, Ms. Ledbetter,
961
00:50:52,987 --> 00:50:56,187
received smaller pay increases
than men do in the same job as
962
00:50:56,189 --> 00:50:59,157
her at a tire plant
in Gadsden, Alabama.
963
00:50:59,159 --> 00:51:00,826
The court below held that
she should have complained
964
00:51:00,828 --> 00:51:02,227
earlier.
965
00:51:02,229 --> 00:51:04,162
But how could she had done
so when those discriminatory
966
00:51:04,164 --> 00:51:06,599
raises were being
given in secret?
967
00:51:06,601 --> 00:51:09,569
Miss Ledbetter was consigned
to a career as a second-class
968
00:51:09,571 --> 00:51:11,804
employee only
because she is a woman.
969
00:51:11,806 --> 00:51:15,508
That cannot be the
law, and it isn't.
970
00:51:15,510 --> 00:51:19,745
There comes a point when
discrimination is staring at
971
00:51:19,747 --> 00:51:23,248
you in the face and you
have to make a stand,
972
00:51:23,250 --> 00:51:24,784
and that's what Lilly did.
973
00:51:24,786 --> 00:51:27,118
You said the Ledbetter
petition would never land on
974
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:28,219

Brian Williams...
1066
00:55:57,758 --> 00:55:58,824
Butif you get together with
1067
00:55:58,826 --> 00:56:03,394
like-minded people,you can be a force...
1068
00:56:03,396 --> 00:56:05,931
-for change.
O-- okay.
1069
00:56:05,933 --> 00:56:07,766
- Thank you very much.
-Sure!
1070
00:56:07,768 --> 00:56:09,902
Scheduling will call
you later to set up a time.
1071
00:56:09,904 --> 00:56:11,469
We'll talk
later, thank you.
1072
00:56:11,471 --> 00:56:12,571
Thank you.
1073
00:56:12,573 --> 00:56:14,740
You've become the face of
women's inequity in the
1074
00:56:14,742 --> 00:56:15,774
workplace.
1075
00:56:15,776 --> 00:56:17,009
Justice Ginsburg said it!
1076
00:56:17,011 --> 00:56:20,880
Congress needs to hear from
you to push this law along!
1077
00:56:20,882 --> 00:56:22,648
To make it real!
1078
00:56:22,650 --> 00:56:25,684
I-- I don't know about
politics or anything except...
1079
00:56:25,686 --> 00:56:30,022
making tires and keeping
a checkbook straight...
1080
00:56:30,024 --> 00:56:31,290
baking and sewing, of course.
1081
00:56:31,292 --> 00:56:34,126
Not being an expert is the
very thing that is so powerful
1082
00:56:34,128 --> 00:56:35,794
about you!
1083
00:56:35,796 --> 00:56:37,630
But it is hard work.
1084
00:56:37,632 --> 00:56:40,699
And you'd have to be up
for a long slog again.
1085
00:56:42,637 --> 00:56:44,404
- Oh!
1086
00:56:46,540 --> 00:56:47,775
Hello.
1087
00:56:50,845 --> 00:56:54,113
- We lost.
-Yeah, I-- I heard.
1088
00:56:54,115 --> 00:56:56,183
Are you okay?
1089
00:56:58,519 --> 00:57:00,586
Oh, this is Jocelyn Samuels.
1090
00:57:00,588 --> 00:57:02,888
She wants me to go to
Washington to meet some people
1091
00:57:02,890 --> 00:57:04,189
-in Congress.
-Hello.
1092
00:57:04,191 --> 00:57:05,624
My husband, Charles.
1093
00:57:05,626 --> 00:57:06,659
-Hello.
1094
00:57:06,661 --> 00:57:07,962
Hello.
1095
00:57:09,931 --> 00:57:11,997
I appreciate you
coming here, but...
1096
00:57:11,999 --> 00:57:14,199
really, I'm tired.
1097
00:57:14,201 --> 00:57:17,736
I just wanna enjoy
my grandkids and...
1098
00:57:17,738 --> 00:57:20,706
help Charles
through everything.
1099
00:57:20,708 --> 00:57:22,777
I hope
you'll think about it.
1100
00:57:23,077 --> 00:57:25,144
-Nice meeting you both.
-You too.
1101
00:57:25,146 --> 00:57:27,546
Thank you so much.
1102
00:57:31,886 --> 00:57:34,920
I'm sorry about before.
About Phillip.
1103
00:57:34,922 --> 00:57:38,190
I was gonna tell
ya, of course.
1104
00:57:38,192 --> 00:57:41,794
So, uh,
what are you gonna do?
1105
00:57:41,796 --> 00:57:44,462
Vacuum the living room.
1106
00:57:44,464 --> 00:57:46,165
NBC's coming to
interview me tomorrow.
1107
00:57:46,167 --> 00:57:47,199
-Wow.
1108
00:57:47,201 --> 00:57:49,637
No, I mean about Washington.
1109
00:57:50,071 --> 00:57:54,006
I'm not having you
use me as an excuse.
1110
00:57:54,008 --> 00:57:55,774
-So, go on.
1111
00:57:55,776 --> 00:57:58,010
Go get her before she leaves.
1112
00:57:58,012 --> 00:57:59,778
Go on.
1113
00:58:05,519 --> 00:58:06,752
Jocelyn!
1114
00:58:06,754 --> 00:58:08,854
Every time I write a dissent,
1115
00:58:08,856 --> 00:58:10,723
I'm hoping for one result:
1116
00:58:10,725 --> 00:58:13,959
either congressionalchange or, the other,
1117
00:58:13,961 --> 00:58:17,930
that the Court
will overrule its prior...
1118
00:58:17,932 --> 00:58:19,598
wrong decision.
1119
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:22,735
Who was it who said "Itain't over 'til it's over?"
1120
00:58:22,737 --> 00:58:24,105
Marcia!
1121
00:58:26,540 --> 00:58:28,507
Mrs. Ledbetter...
1122
00:58:28,509 --> 00:58:29,908
-Mr. Goldfarb!
-Hi.
1123
00:58:29,910 --> 00:58:32,878
I am so delighted
to finally meet you.
1124
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:33,779
Marcia's my boss.
1125
00:58:33,781 --> 00:58:35,147
She's the one that
found your story.
1126
00:58:35,149 --> 00:58:39,585
Your story jumped out at
me, like other American women
1127
00:58:39,587 --> 00:58:41,587
whose legacy
made a difference!
1128
00:58:41,589 --> 00:58:43,889
People are going to
remember your name!
1129
00:58:43,891 --> 00:58:45,157
I don't know about that.
1130
00:58:45,159 --> 00:58:47,259
Mrs. Ledbetter!
Welcome to Washington!
1131
00:58:47,261 --> 00:58:49,595
Good luck!
See you inside.
1132
00:58:49,597 --> 00:58:51,130
That is
George Miller,
1133
00:58:51,132 --> 00:58:53,832
and Rosa DeLauro --
the bill's sponsors.
1134
00:58:53,834 --> 00:58:56,001
I-- I didn't realize there
would be so many people.
1135
00:58:56,003 --> 00:58:58,003
-Just be yourself.
- So!
1136
00:58:58,005 --> 00:59:00,205
What do you do to shake
off nerves before your dance
1137
00:59:00,207 --> 00:59:01,407
competitions?
1138
00:59:01,409 --> 00:59:03,275
I dream about
winning the lottery.
1139
00:59:04,745 --> 00:59:07,681
That is priceless!
1140
00:59:13,187 --> 00:59:14,822
Good morning.
1141
00:59:15,589 --> 00:59:18,891
I'm Lilly Ledbetter, and
I'm here to tell you...
1142
00:59:18,893 --> 00:59:23,898
how my employer of almost 20
years discriminated against me,
1143
00:59:24,065 --> 00:59:25,998
and how I fought back.
1144
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:31,005
I was an underdog, like
David, who slayed Goliath...
1145
00:59:31,205 --> 00:59:33,005
without the
slingshot, of course.
1146
00:59:35,743 --> 00:59:38,010
The thing is...
1147
00:59:38,012 --> 00:59:42,249
where I come from,
we loved our Goliath.
1148
00:59:43,117 --> 00:59:47,019
Everybody you knew who had a
good job worked at Goodyear
1149
00:59:47,021 --> 00:59:49,088
Tire Company.
1150
00:59:49,090 --> 00:59:51,957
During World War II, when the
men went off to fight in the
1151
00:59:51,959 --> 00:59:56,061
war, my-- my
aunt, Maddie Belle,
1152
00:59:56,063 --> 00:59:58,063
practically ran the place!
1153
00:59:58,065 --> 01:00:01,834
And when I got hired into
the management program,
1154
01:00:01,836 --> 01:00:03,938
I was honored.
1155
01:00:04,738 --> 01:00:08,340
But that company
took advantage of me,
1156
01:00:08,342 --> 01:00:12,177
like so many companies are
taking advantage of their
1157
01:00:12,179 --> 01:00:15,114
workers, and that
just isn't right!
1158
01:00:16,917 --> 01:00:19,318
And so, I'm here...
1159
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,621
hoping that you
folks'll fix this...
1160
01:00:22,623 --> 01:00:25,023
for the American people,
1161
01:00:25,025 --> 01:00:30,030
to make sure that
what happened to me...
1162
01:00:32,166 --> 01:00:35,736
doesn't happen
to anybody else.
1163
01:00:38,139 --> 01:00:40,806
-Thank you.
1164
01:00:40,808 --> 01:00:42,741
TheUS Supreme Court decides
1165
01:00:42,743 --> 01:00:44,109
"Lilly, you sued too late!
1166
01:00:44,111 --> 01:00:49,148
This law, Title VII, says youmust complain within 180 days
1167
01:00:49,150 --> 01:00:51,884
of thediscriminatory incident."
1168
01:00:51,886 --> 01:00:54,720
My theory in dissent...
1169
01:00:54,722 --> 01:00:58,223
was that every paycheck
she received renewed the
1170
01:00:58,225 --> 01:00:59,391
discrimination.
1171
01:00:59,393 --> 01:01:02,361
With this bill, we'll
reinstate that every paycheck
1172
01:01:02,363 --> 01:01:04,763
is a new discriminatory act.
1173
01:01:04,765 --> 01:01:07,266
It may not sound
like sweeping reform,
1174
01:01:07,268 --> 01:01:09,902
but think of it
like building heat --
1175
01:01:09,904 --> 01:01:12,871
you start with one
hot coal, and by the end,
1176
01:01:12,873 --> 01:01:14,909
you have a bonfire.
1177
01:01:15,376 --> 01:01:17,912
-This is the coal.
- Mm-hm.
1178
01:01:18,212 --> 01:01:21,747
Your being here will help
us get Congress on board.
1179
01:01:21,749 --> 01:01:24,183
Then, we just pray
President Bush doesn't veto.
1180
01:01:24,185 --> 01:01:28,187
Kinda sad that gender equity
has a political affiliation.
1181
01:01:28,189 --> 01:01:29,821
You did
great today, Lilly.
1182
01:01:29,823 --> 01:01:32,291
Now, we need you to talk up
the bill to members of the
1183
01:01:32,293 --> 01:01:34,693
House and the Senate.
1184
01:01:34,695 --> 01:01:35,994
How many are there?
1185
01:01:35,996 --> 01:01:38,864
435
in the House,
1186
01:01:38,866 --> 01:01:41,035
100 in the Senate.
1187
01:01:43,103 --> 01:01:47,206
-I'm gonna talk to 535 people?
-No!
1188
01:01:47,208 --> 01:01:50,142
-Of course not, right?
1189
01:01:50,144 --> 01:01:52,377
We'll start with the
Southern bloc and the women.
1190
01:01:52,379 --> 01:01:53,845
Okay.
1191
01:01:53,847 --> 01:01:55,983
Hope you have thick skin.
1192
01:01:56,350 --> 01:01:59,084
We'll need 225
votes for the bill to pass,
1193
01:01:59,086 --> 01:02:01,486
and we've got two
weeks to get them.
1194
01:02:01,488 --> 01:02:04,089
How many meetings
can I do in a day?
1195
01:02:04,091 --> 01:02:05,424
That depends on you.
1196
01:02:05,426 --> 01:02:06,825
And them, of course.
1197
01:02:06,827 --> 01:02:07,926
Well...
1198
01:02:07,928 --> 01:02:10,128
don't underestimate this one.
1199
01:02:10,130 --> 01:02:12,366
She's a Wonder Woman.
1200
01:02:19,073 --> 01:02:21,108
Thank you, Jon.
1201
01:02:21,842 --> 01:02:23,942

I didn't even know that was

Welcome, please.

You know,
I'm sorry to say...
1274
01:06:01,061 --> 01:06:03,731

Well, that's hardly a way

opportunity to testify.

My name is Neil Mullen, and I
am here to testify on behalf
1302
01:08:28,141 --> 01:08:31,242
of the Chamber of Commerce
about proposed legislation to
1303
01:08:31,244 --> 01:08:34,513
reverse the Supreme Court
decision in Ledbetter v.

Goodyear Tire and Rubber.
1305
01:08:36,517 --> 01:08:39,652
Now, the rule emanating
from this decision is simple:
1306
01:08:39,654 --> 01:08:42,387
any employee that believes
that he or she has been
1307
01:08:42,389 --> 01:08:44,624
treated discriminatorily
by an employer,
1308
01:08:44,626 --> 01:08:46,826
that matter should
be raised internally,
1309
01:08:46,828 --> 01:08:48,561
and promptly.
1310
01:08:48,563 --> 01:08:52,197
For the good part of 19
years with the company,
1311
01:08:52,199 --> 01:08:54,199
Mrs. Ledbetter knew
about her lower salary--
1312
01:08:54,201 --> 01:08:55,333
That's a lie.
1313
01:08:57,437 --> 01:08:59,505
Mrs. Ledbetter, you'll
have your chance to speak.
1314
01:08:59,507 --> 01:09:01,306
You knew you were being
paid less than your male

counterparts years
before initiating your claim!
1316
01:09:05,145 --> 01:09:07,479
You waited to
retire before suing.
1317
01:09:07,481 --> 01:09:09,782
Mr. Mullen, do you really
believe I chose to work 20
1318
01:09:09,784 --> 01:09:11,917
years knowing I was being
cheated and discriminated
1319
01:09:11,919 --> 01:09:14,152
against, just so I
could wait to sue?
1320
01:09:14,154 --> 01:09:16,555
Does that make any
sense in this world, sir?!

"Oh, no...

we're going to permit...
1361

discrimination
against women...
1362
01:11:54,949 --> 01:11:59,051

Because the employer didn't

gave them a paycheck...
1366
01:12:06,794 --> 01:12:09,562
that was unequal to
their male counterparts!
1367
01:12:09,564 --> 01:12:13,732
The CBS poll on women say
the number-one issue that they
1368

face is equal pay for
equal or comparable work!

Republicans in the Senate in
response to President Bush's
1416
01:14:13,888 --> 01:14:15,654
threat to veto.

Although the bill had
passed in the House,
1418
01:14:17,490 --> 01:14:20,993
Republicans have killed it,
putting the future at risk--
1419
01:14:42,616 --> 01:14:45,184
The calcium carbonate in the
egg shell is the same as the
1420

calcium carbonate in
some outdoor statues.
1421
01:14:47,855 --> 01:14:49,755
When vinegar reacts
with the egg shell,
1422
01:14:49,757 --> 01:14:52,992
it mimics the actions of
acid rain on these statues.

-If.

1590
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,695
You get a bad grade, you
don't get funding for your
1591
01:24:55,697 --> 01:24:57,128
reelection.
1592
01:24:57,130 --> 01:24:58,463
That's disgusting!
1593
01:24:58,465 --> 01:25:01,333
If they do,
that's it, we're done.
1594
01:25:01,335 --> 01:25:03,368
There won't be
any Fair Pay Act.
1595
01:25:03,370 --> 01:25:06,239
So, you're asking
me to come back?
1596
01:25:08,308 --> 01:25:10,776
Meeting in Birmingham, my ass!
1597
01:25:22,590 --> 01:25:24,189
Mrs. Ledbetter, I
have a meeting.
1598
01:25:24,191 --> 01:25:27,425
-It-- it'll just be a minute.
-I'm listening.
1599
01:25:27,427 --> 01:25:30,428
I understand everything you
do is to bolster the American
1600
01:25:30,430 --> 01:25:33,131
economy, and--
and I respect that.
1601
01:25:33,133 --> 01:25:35,500
But women aren't the
enemy of the economy,
1602
01:25:35,502 --> 01:25:37,268
we're the backbone!
1603
01:25:37,270 --> 01:25:38,370
I've seen your stump speech.
1604
01:25:38,372 --> 01:25:39,872
And I've seen the polling.
1605
01:25:39,874 --> 01:25:41,206
Don't score the vote.
1606
01:25:41,208 --> 01:25:43,308
You'll be making a
strategic error.
1607
01:25:43,310 --> 01:25:48,315
All women want equality, not
just women from one party!
1608
01:25:48,482 --> 01:25:52,752
You can't afford to lose
51 percent of your voters.
1609
01:25:52,754 --> 01:25:54,053
I'm not so sure
those numbers--
1610
01:25:54,055 --> 01:25:58,323
There are Republican senators
who want to support this bill.
1611
01:25:58,325 --> 01:26:01,863
Do you want their seats
to be collateral damage?
1612
01:26:03,430 --> 01:26:05,833
Think about the future.
1613
01:26:07,669 --> 01:26:10,571
Thank you for your time.
1614
01:26:21,949 --> 01:26:26,284
On this vote, the yeas
are 61, the nays are 36.
1615
01:26:26,286 --> 01:26:28,654
Under the previous order,
three fifths of the senators
1616
01:26:28,656 --> 01:26:31,957
duly chosen and sworn having
voted in the affirmative,
1617
01:26:31,959 --> 01:26:33,793
