BPW/MI Monday Minute April 21st, 2008

The US Senate may vote on legislation to fix the Supreme Court's decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire &Rubber Co . as early as Wednesday, April 23rd! The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, Senate Bill 1843 is the version of the Fair Pay Restoration Act that is going to the Senate floor. The Ledbetter Fair Pay Act would ensure that victims of pay discrimination have a real chance to pursue their claims. Please take a moment to call or write Senators Levin and Stabenaw and ask them to vote YES in support of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. You can easily write your Senator using the BPW USA advocacy center. Just enter your name and address and the Advocacy Center will automatically address the letter to your Senator. Please take the time to edit and personalize your letter. Tell your Senator why this issue is important to you as a working woman.  The BPW USA website is BPWUSA.org.

Come to State Convention on May 2 and 3 for more legislative updates and action.  It is going to be a great convention.  But we need you all there.
