Supreme Court ruling that overturned it (2 points)

Respuesta :

Answer: The decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. was overturned by the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act (2009).

Explanation:

The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, which discussed wage discrimination based on age, religion, national origin, race, sex, and disability, established that wage discrimination cases could be filed within 180 days of the last paycheck in which the discrimination happens. This decision overturned the Supreme Court´s ruling in Ledbetter v. Goodyear which ruled that such cases had to be filed within 180 days of the day the discrimination began.
