Yesterday, the New York Times and the RAC were very much in sync.

In an editorial, the Times called on the Senate to restore workers’ civil rights by passing the Fair Pay Restoration Act. At the same time, we released a letter that Mark Pelavin, Associate Director of the RAC, sent to the Senate days earlier calling on them to do just that.

In the letter, he noted:

“When the Supreme Court ruled in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. that all wage discrimination cases had to be filed within 180 days of the first discriminatory pay check, it severely impeded decades of progress that protected a worker’s right to fair pay.”

Let’s hope the Senate passes the bill—and that the Times continues to follow our lead.
