Lilly Ledbetter tells a story at The Working Lunch, Women Employed's annual event, about how her struggle for fair pay has inspired other women, and how she, in turn, has been touched by their kindness.
EVERY place I've worked women were paid the same as men. In fact, a lot of times women did way less work and got paid the same or even more. Just drive down a road that's having construction work done and see who's holding the traffic signs and who's doing the grunt work with the jackhammers and shovels! And what about women living 7 or 8 years longer than men, does this old bitty consider that?! It was old bags from the '70s that went on TV shows spreading this shit. RememberDr. Joyce Brothers?
