Obama signs Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act

Obama signed the Fair Pay Act, which overrules the Supreme Court case of Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Inc., which limited the time for which pay discrimination claims could be brought. This new law is not just limited to salary, it also applies to payment under benefit plans.
