1
00:00:13,548 --> 00:00:15,080
Ladies and gentlemen,
2
00:00:15,082 --> 00:00:16,114
please welcome...
3
00:00:16,116 --> 00:00:19,484
Lilly Ledbetter, from
Jacksonville, Alabama.
4
00:00:26,694 --> 00:00:28,528
Thank you.
5
00:00:28,530 --> 00:00:29,695
Good evening.
6
00:00:29,697 --> 00:00:31,731
My name is Lilly Ledbetter.
7
00:00:31,733 --> 00:00:33,331
Thank you.
8
00:00:37,705 --> 00:00:39,206
Thank you.
9
00:00:50,117 --> 00:00:52,217
Many of you are
probably asking,
10
00:00:52,219 --> 00:00:55,122
"Who's that Alabama
grandma at the podium?"
11
00:00:55,590 --> 00:01:00,595
I can assure you, nobody is
more surprised or humbled...
12
00:01:00,762 --> 00:01:02,427
than I am.
13
00:01:02,429 --> 00:01:05,063
I'm here to talk about
America's commitment to
14
00:01:05,065 --> 00:01:06,464
fairness...
15
00:01:06,466 --> 00:01:07,633
and equality,
16
00:01:07,635 --> 00:01:12,505
and how people like me --
and like you -- suffer...
17
00:01:12,507 --> 00:01:15,206
when that
commitment is betrayed.
18
00:04:20,895 --> 00:04:22,360
Ahh!
19
00:04:22,362 --> 00:04:24,663
Good catch there, bitch.
20
00:04:24,665 --> 00:04:25,998
I'll get the hang of it.
21
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,465
Sure you will!
22
00:04:27,467 --> 00:04:28,703
Sure.
23
00:04:32,707 --> 00:04:33,839
Mm.
24
00:04:33,841 --> 00:04:35,007
So, the key...
25
00:04:35,009 --> 00:04:36,809
is body position.
26
00:04:36,811 --> 00:04:38,376
Legs wide...
27
00:04:38,378 --> 00:04:39,645
and the knees bent.
All right?
28
00:04:39,647 --> 00:04:41,448
Oh, there you go.
29
00:04:43,283 --> 00:04:44,583
I've got it.
30
00:04:44,585 --> 00:04:45,651
Okay!
31
00:04:45,653 --> 00:04:47,287
Trainee...
32
00:04:47,555 --> 00:04:49,354
All right,y'all, listen up!
33
00:04:49,356 --> 00:04:51,557
Now, my name's Andy Guthrie,I'ma tell you how this whole
34
00:04:51,559 --> 00:04:53,391
process works, all right?
35
00:04:53,393 --> 00:04:56,427
You got six months to prove to
us you've got what it takes to
36
00:04:56,429 --> 00:04:57,663
be a supervisor.
37
00:04:57,665 --> 00:05:00,499
Only problem is I only
got spaces for five,
38
00:05:00,501 --> 00:05:03,536
so you're gonna be rotating
from department to department,
39
00:05:03,538 --> 00:05:06,539
learning the entire process,
at the end of which we're
40
00:05:06,541 --> 00:05:09,008
gonna evaluate yourperformance and observe your
41
00:05:09,010 --> 00:05:11,442
leadership skills, all right?Y'all got it?
42
00:05:16,851 --> 00:05:18,551
Here's some rubber, boys!
43
00:05:21,321 --> 00:05:22,557
Y'all right?
44
00:05:22,890 --> 00:05:24,625
I'll be fine.
45
00:05:47,615 --> 00:05:48,983
- Hey.
- Hi.
46
00:05:50,117 --> 00:05:51,550
Kids get down all right?
47
00:05:51,552 --> 00:05:52,751
Yeah.
48
00:05:52,753 --> 00:05:54,485
Phil give you some trouble?
49
00:05:54,487 --> 00:05:55,957
Not tonight.
50
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,392
What?
51
00:06:01,394 --> 00:06:02,862
What's this?
52
00:06:02,864 --> 00:06:05,698
547 dollars, Goodyear Tire.
53
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:08,067
What...
What the hell is this?
54
00:06:08,069 --> 00:06:10,803
In Life Magazine, an article
about how they were looking to
55
00:06:10,805 --> 00:06:12,638
diversify their
management program.
56
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,740
Ah...
You went and got a job...
57
00:06:14,742 --> 00:06:15,774
without even talking to me.
58
00:06:15,776 --> 00:06:17,743
-I support this family!
-Don't wake the kids.
59
00:06:17,745 --> 00:06:18,744
You
asked me a hundred times;
60
00:06:18,746 --> 00:06:19,778
what'd I say to you?!
61
00:06:19,780 --> 00:06:21,847
Those kids need their
mother, I need my wife!
62
00:06:21,849 --> 00:06:25,017
You work three
jobs, and we're behind.
63
00:06:25,019 --> 00:06:27,086
Two months late
on electricity,
64
00:06:27,088 --> 00:06:28,554
roof leaks...
65
00:06:28,556 --> 00:06:30,823
If I'm earning, you
can get your degree,
66
00:06:30,825 --> 00:06:32,057
transfer into
officer training.
67
00:06:32,059 --> 00:06:35,127
Imagine, instead of building
latrines and barracks on the
68
00:06:35,129 --> 00:06:36,929
base, you could be
a First Lieutenant,
69
00:06:36,931 --> 00:06:38,864
calling the shots!
70
00:06:38,866 --> 00:06:40,065
Times are changing.
71
00:06:40,067 --> 00:06:42,603
What, taking a man's job?!
72
00:06:43,104 --> 00:06:46,071
Well, that's exactly what
they're gonna say!
73
00:06:46,073 --> 00:06:47,840
You used to like that I
was different from the other
74
00:06:47,842 --> 00:06:50,175
girls, that I had
dreams, ambitions.
75
00:06:50,177 --> 00:06:52,845
You think what some
dumbass says matters?
76
00:06:52,847 --> 00:06:55,413
If I'm working, the
whole family does better!
77
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:58,150
Why does that
make you feel bad?!
78
00:06:58,152 --> 00:07:00,753
-Why?!
-I don't know, it just does!
79
00:07:03,758 --> 00:07:05,157
I've put up with your
pride for a long time;
80
00:07:05,159 --> 00:07:06,692
I'm not gonna do it anymore.
81
00:07:06,694 --> 00:07:08,027
I want the kids
to go to college,
82
00:07:08,029 --> 00:07:09,595
I want a...
83
00:07:09,597 --> 00:07:11,730
a nice house with a yard!
84
00:07:11,732 --> 00:07:13,868
I want a big kitchen.
85
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:16,904
I know you want that too.
86
00:07:19,607 --> 00:07:21,175
You went...
87
00:07:22,543 --> 00:07:25,146
You went behind my back.
88
00:07:26,714 --> 00:07:28,816
I'm sorry.
89
00:07:30,651 --> 00:07:33,118
Jesus, all right...
90
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,155
You gonna do whatever the
hell you want to anyway.
91
00:07:37,158 --> 00:07:38,726
Damn it.
92
00:07:41,095 --> 00:07:42,962
Are you...
93
00:07:42,964 --> 00:07:45,232
- are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.
94
00:07:47,702 --> 00:07:50,703
One ofmy most satisfying terms on
95
00:07:50,705 --> 00:07:53,641
the Court was theLilly Ledbetter case.
96
00:07:54,141 --> 00:07:56,976
Lilly Ledbetter was
an area manager at a
97
00:07:56,978 --> 00:07:58,777
Goodyear Tire plant.
98
00:07:58,779 --> 00:08:01,983
It was a job that
had been held...
99
00:08:02,750 --> 00:08:04,183
dominantly by men.
100
00:08:04,185 --> 00:08:07,653
The five pallets were
received and signed for?
101
00:08:07,655 --> 00:08:10,222
Yes,
yes, ma'am, we got it.
102
00:08:10,224 --> 00:08:13,692
And the radials, and
the-- the cross plys?
103
00:08:13,694 --> 00:08:16,128
Mm-hm.
104
00:08:17,999 --> 00:08:20,065
That's a good job, Johnny.
105
00:08:26,073 --> 00:08:27,506
Thank you.
106
00:08:29,744 --> 00:08:30,811
Hey.
107
00:08:31,746 --> 00:08:33,614
I read the report.
108
00:08:34,615 --> 00:08:37,616
We don't abide
hearsay at Goodyear.
109
00:08:37,618 --> 00:08:39,952
If this female would like
to bring a charge of her own
110
00:08:39,954 --> 00:08:41,756
herself...
111
00:08:42,056 --> 00:08:43,991
well, then, uh...
112
00:08:44,959 --> 00:08:47,126
we could take it from there.
113
00:08:47,128 --> 00:08:51,163
Everywoman of Lilly's generation
114
00:08:51,165 --> 00:08:52,664
knew...
115
00:08:52,666 --> 00:08:57,069
that if you are
the first woman...
116
00:08:57,071 --> 00:08:59,605
in a field that has
been occupied by men,
117
00:08:59,607 --> 00:09:01,707
you don't want to be
known as a complainer,
118
00:09:01,709 --> 00:09:04,176
you don't wantto rock the boat.
119
00:09:04,178 --> 00:09:06,211
Leave me alone!
120
00:09:06,213 --> 00:09:07,982
Aw, come on, Darby!
We wanna have a little fun!
121
00:09:09,850 --> 00:09:11,318
Where ya going?
122
00:09:11,786 --> 00:09:13,287
Go git 'er, boy!
Git 'er!
123
00:09:16,190 --> 00:09:18,157
C'mere!
124
00:09:18,159 --> 00:09:20,325
- What the hell's going on here?
- Get off of me!
125
00:09:20,327 --> 00:09:22,127
Let that girl up right now!
126
00:09:22,129 --> 00:09:24,196
-They're pigs!
-Come on, Darby, let's go.
127
00:09:24,198 --> 00:09:27,032
Hey...Princess.
128
00:09:27,034 --> 00:09:28,133
You had your
fun, now it's over.
129
00:09:28,135 --> 00:09:30,102
You know, that whole
schoolmarm thing you've got
130
00:09:30,104 --> 00:09:31,737
goin' on is a real turn-on.
131
00:09:31,739 --> 00:09:32,871
I bet you're a naughty girl.
132
00:09:32,873 --> 00:09:34,175
Really?
133
00:09:35,209 --> 00:09:37,278
C'mon, Tris,
let's get outta here.
134
00:09:37,745 --> 00:09:39,745
Maybe next time, girls!
135
00:09:40,981 --> 00:09:42,817
See you 'round!
136
00:09:44,785 --> 00:09:46,118
-We'll file a report.
-I don't want to.
137
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,653
I could get fired.
138
00:09:47,655 --> 00:09:48,787
If we don't put
an end to this,
139
00:09:48,789 --> 00:09:50,758
somebody's gonna get...
140
00:09:51,659 --> 00:09:53,258
really hurt next time.
141
00:09:53,260 --> 00:09:55,260
I need this job!
142
00:10:11,946 --> 00:10:14,780
Hey.
They moved you?!
143
00:10:23,023 --> 00:10:24,656
Turn off the potatoes and...
144
00:10:24,658 --> 00:10:26,758
don't
forget to turn off the oven.
145
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:27,960
Broken record, Ma.
146
00:10:34,301 --> 00:10:35,901
You're early.
147
00:10:35,903 --> 00:10:37,938
What's
wrong, you sick?
148
00:10:39,106 --> 00:10:40,272
Are you drunk?
149
00:10:40,274 --> 00:10:42,808
Coach found him under the
bleachers during practice.
150
00:10:42,810 --> 00:10:44,710
-Drinking?!
-Or worse, I bet.
151
00:10:44,712 --> 00:10:45,677
-Shut up!
-Hey! Hey!
152
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,180
You don't talk to
your sister like that!
153
00:10:48,182 --> 00:10:51,850
How could you do
this to your team, Phillip?
154
00:10:51,852 --> 00:10:53,152
Disrespect your
coach, your friends?
155
00:10:53,154 --> 00:10:54,153
They're
not my friends.
156
00:10:54,155 --> 00:10:56,056
I quit two weeks ago.
157
00:10:56,724 --> 00:10:59,391
Huh!
Two weeks ago.
158
00:10:59,393 --> 00:11:01,026
Aw, come on, Phillip,
you love football!
159
00:11:01,028 --> 00:11:01,860
You love football.
160
00:11:01,862 --> 00:11:03,262
The whole thing's
a waste of time!
161
00:11:03,264 --> 00:11:04,696
This has got to stop!
162
00:11:04,698 --> 00:11:05,598
Every day it's something!
163
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,765
- You're such a bitch!
- Hey!
164
00:11:06,767 --> 00:11:08,867
You don't talk to
your mother like that!
165
00:11:08,869 --> 00:11:10,969
Hey, you come back here!
166
00:11:10,971 --> 00:11:13,274
Are you're a
little freak twin.
167
00:11:21,715 --> 00:11:23,851
I'm going to work.
168
00:11:24,251 --> 00:11:26,952
Unconscious bias remains.
169
00:11:26,954 --> 00:11:28,987
The other is what'sbeen called "the work-life
170
00:11:28,989 --> 00:11:30,322
balance."
171
00:11:30,324 --> 00:11:34,760
How do we order the work lifeso that a person can have a
172
00:11:34,762 --> 00:11:38,764
home life as well, and bepart of raising the children?
173
00:11:50,911 --> 00:11:52,311
Hey, Pops!
174
00:11:52,313 --> 00:11:54,246
Where were you this morning?
175
00:11:54,248 --> 00:11:55,747
You were supposed
to help unload.
176
00:11:55,749 --> 00:11:56,915
The trucks left an hour ago.
177
00:11:56,917 --> 00:11:58,150
Good morning, Mother.
178
00:11:58,152 --> 00:11:59,151
Who's that?
179
00:11:59,153 --> 00:12:00,352
Caroline and I are
headed to California.
180
00:12:00,354 --> 00:12:01,920
She got a receptionist
job at a record company,
181
00:12:01,922 --> 00:12:03,455
- and I'm gonna learn to surf.
- Hey, y'all!
182
00:12:03,457 --> 00:12:06,158
Hey...
that's very funny.
183
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,793
I'm dead serious!
We got it all planned out:
184
00:12:07,795 --> 00:12:09,962
the maps, the routes, where
to stop for the best pie.
185
00:12:09,964 --> 00:12:11,763
- I love pie.
- We're...
186
00:12:11,765 --> 00:12:13,265
we're just moving in, Phillip.
187
00:12:13,267 --> 00:12:15,100
How long have we been
talking about this?
188
00:12:15,102 --> 00:12:16,868
You cannot drop
out of college;
189
00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:18,804
-we pay your tuition!
-Told you not to.
190
00:12:18,806 --> 00:12:19,938
And-- and
what about your job?
191
00:12:19,940 --> 00:12:21,306
Did you even call
and give notice?
192
00:12:21,308 --> 00:12:23,208
-I'll bet you didn't!
-All right, now, come on!
193
00:12:23,210 --> 00:12:25,279
Phil, I don't understand!
194
00:12:26,180 --> 00:12:28,213
When you graduate,
you can make decisions.
195
00:12:28,215 --> 00:12:30,082
-Until then--
-I'm plenty capable of making
196
00:12:30,084 --> 00:12:32,217
my own decisions.
Now, what I need is...
197
00:12:36,056 --> 00:12:38,357
-California here we come!
-Woo!
198
00:12:38,359 --> 00:12:40,792
At least wait 'til the
end of the semester, all right?
199
00:12:40,794 --> 00:12:42,961
You can't make
decisions like this!
200
00:12:42,963 --> 00:12:45,497
Your mother just fixed up your
room for you! Now, come on, son!
201
00:12:45,499 --> 00:12:48,033
I'm not
living like this anymore.
202
00:12:48,035 --> 00:12:50,435
I can't do anything
right around here.
203
00:12:52,339 --> 00:12:54,406
Come on...
204
00:13:01,882 --> 00:13:03,849
Take
care of yourself.
205
00:13:28,442 --> 00:13:30,976
And now,
the Tri-county Finals,
206
00:13:30,978 --> 00:13:35,147
bringing these dancers one step
closer to our Alabama regionals.
207
00:13:35,149 --> 00:13:37,082
Lilly and Hector
with a wonderful waltz!
208
00:13:49,897 --> 00:13:52,998
They put me back
on the floor yesterday.
209
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,203
To punish me for
filing too many reports.
210
00:13:57,572 --> 00:14:00,540
You should just drop me off.
211
00:14:00,542 --> 00:14:02,542
What, in that?
212
00:14:02,544 --> 00:14:04,476
I got a change in my locker.
213
00:14:04,478 --> 00:14:06,345
By the time we get home,
I'm just gonna have to turn
214
00:14:06,347 --> 00:14:08,080
around.
215
00:14:08,082 --> 00:14:09,948
Where are you gonna sleep?
216
00:14:09,950 --> 00:14:12,419
Well, there's a cot
in the infirmary.
217
00:14:24,599 --> 00:14:27,933
-What's that for?
-We can catch a few hours.
218
00:14:27,935 --> 00:14:29,201
Here?!
219
00:14:29,203 --> 00:14:31,336
There's no reason for you to
have a bad night's sleep just
220
00:14:31,338 --> 00:14:33,140
'cause of me.
221
00:14:34,408 --> 00:14:36,875
I can't think of a better one.
222
00:14:42,082 --> 00:14:42,981
Come on.
223
00:15:19,486 --> 00:15:21,453
Even though I hadsome of the best production
224
00:15:21,455 --> 00:15:23,558
numbers on record,
225
00:15:24,958 --> 00:15:29,394
management always found waysto demote me back to the floor.
226
00:15:29,396 --> 00:15:32,431
It was hardworking in that place.
227
00:15:32,433 --> 00:15:34,468
Hard being a woman.
228
00:15:35,102 --> 00:15:37,603
It felt like walkingin a minefield --
229
00:15:37,605 --> 00:15:40,706
never knew when I'dtake the wrong step.
230
00:15:50,217 --> 00:15:52,317
19 years.
231
00:15:52,319 --> 00:15:54,386
Things only got worse.
232
00:15:54,388 --> 00:15:57,456
It's the pensions that are
killing automotive, not Asia.
233
00:15:57,458 --> 00:16:01,126
Let's push the early buyout,
dangle that quick pot of gold.
234
00:16:01,128 --> 00:16:03,428
Let's get some
young blood in here.
235
00:16:03,430 --> 00:16:05,430
Lower pay rates,
then the herd.
236
00:16:05,432 --> 00:16:06,298
It's good for the economy.
237
00:16:06,300 --> 00:16:08,603
Let's get rid of
the damn dead wood!
238
00:16:09,169 --> 00:16:12,605
I put up with a lotfor the sake of that paycheck.
239
00:16:12,607 --> 00:16:14,674
With all due respect, sir,
these people have worked long
240
00:16:14,676 --> 00:16:16,977
and hard for their pensions.
241
00:16:26,286 --> 00:16:28,286
Consider it done, Mr. Vogel.
242
00:16:33,528 --> 00:16:35,126
All right, then!
243
00:16:35,128 --> 00:16:37,128
Let's go back to work!
244
00:16:37,130 --> 00:16:39,397
Lilly!
245
00:16:41,401 --> 00:16:43,235
Call the medic!
246
00:16:43,237 --> 00:16:45,403
Ah, you gotta be
more careful, girl!
247
00:16:49,042 --> 00:16:50,442
Lilly!
248
00:16:50,444 --> 00:16:51,443
Oh, my gosh!
249
00:16:51,445 --> 00:16:54,246
Okay, we've got some
help coming, all right?
250
00:16:54,248 --> 00:16:56,651
Oh, my God.
We're getting you help, okay?
251
00:16:58,318 --> 00:17:00,118
Those assholes
did this on purpose.
252
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,389
Oh, Lilly, it's
gonna be all right.
253
00:17:03,725 --> 00:17:06,091
C'mon, gimme your purse.
254
00:17:06,093 --> 00:17:07,693
It was nice of the
kids to come over.
255
00:17:07,695 --> 00:17:09,294
I thought they'd cheer you up.
256
00:17:09,296 --> 00:17:11,162
-Hey!
-Hey!
257
00:17:11,164 --> 00:17:12,698
Something sure
smells good in there.
258
00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:14,199
Phil made a roast.
259
00:17:14,201 --> 00:17:16,370
-The kids baked cupcakes.
-Oh!
260
00:17:17,371 --> 00:17:19,070
Mama...
261
00:17:19,072 --> 00:17:21,375
You can't let this eat you up.
262
00:17:21,609 --> 00:17:24,409
Oh, Vicky, I
just hope I'll dance again.
263
00:17:24,411 --> 00:17:27,412
It is so
great to see you, Mr. VP!
264
00:17:32,252 --> 00:17:33,118
How's Akron treating you?
265
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:35,555
We can say that
we knew him when!
266
00:17:35,557 --> 00:17:37,122
How's the kids?
How's Dorothy?
267
00:17:37,124 --> 00:17:38,290
Everybody's great.
268
00:17:38,292 --> 00:17:39,291
It's nice to be back.
269
00:17:39,293 --> 00:17:42,329
Why was I not in that meeting?
270
00:17:43,063 --> 00:17:44,464
Percy...
271
00:17:45,399 --> 00:17:49,502
Well, Lilly, the penalty
on your demotion is back to
272
00:17:49,504 --> 00:17:52,505
-working the floor.
-I'm contesting the demotion!
273
00:17:52,507 --> 00:17:54,709
I'm still a supervisor!
274
00:17:55,242 --> 00:17:57,208
Has he even finished training?!
275
00:17:57,210 --> 00:17:58,511
Lilly...
276
00:17:58,513 --> 00:18:00,713
you need to calm down.
277
00:18:05,452 --> 00:18:09,087
Sometimes, inlife, you hit a turning point,
278
00:18:09,089 --> 00:18:11,222
and that was it for me.
279
00:18:18,332 --> 00:18:19,765
I can't take it anymore.
280
00:18:19,767 --> 00:18:21,734
Every day, it's something.
281
00:18:21,736 --> 00:18:24,135
How long have
you worked there?
282
00:18:24,137 --> 00:18:26,808
Just shy of 20 years.
283
00:18:29,176 --> 00:18:30,576
Have you complained?
284
00:18:30,578 --> 00:18:33,445
Every time I did,
I'd get demoted.
285
00:18:33,447 --> 00:18:37,115
They told me I could move up
if I'd meet 'em at the Ramada.
286
00:18:37,117 --> 00:18:39,518
A woman ain't worth
nothin' if she don't put out.
287
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,220
Maybe in law school,
they don't pull that crap.
288
00:18:42,222 --> 00:18:45,158
Men are the same
everywhere, Mrs. Ledbetter.
289
00:18:47,327 --> 00:18:50,529
At first, it was
just...shenanigans --
290
00:18:50,531 --> 00:18:53,465
teasing, getting touched
whenever they felt like it.
291
00:18:53,467 --> 00:18:56,167
Schoolboy nonsense, really.
292
00:18:56,169 --> 00:18:57,570
But then, it was...
293
00:18:57,572 --> 00:18:59,907
"You took a man's job."
294
00:19:00,875 --> 00:19:04,810
I had my tires slashes,
my windshield busted,
295
00:19:04,812 --> 00:19:07,278
tobacco juice
poured all over my car.
296
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,483
It was a free-for-all, and
everybody is related to some
297
00:19:11,485 --> 00:19:13,284
uncle or cousin --
if you complain,
298
00:19:13,286 --> 00:19:14,820
they just say...
299
00:19:14,822 --> 00:19:17,290
"We don't mess with kin."
300
00:19:17,525 --> 00:19:20,291
Shouldn't a company be
responsible for how their
301
00:19:20,293 --> 00:19:21,896
people act?!
302
00:19:22,597 --> 00:19:25,566
Violations are hard to prove.
303
00:19:27,902 --> 00:19:29,902
This pedestal...
304
00:19:29,904 --> 00:19:33,371
that many of us have
thought women are on,
305
00:19:33,373 --> 00:19:35,373
in reality...
306
00:19:35,375 --> 00:19:38,511
too often turns
out to be a cage.
307
00:19:38,513 --> 00:19:40,880
Uh, Mrs. Ledbetter,
this is Mike Quinn.
308
00:19:40,882 --> 00:19:44,784
His name is on the door and he's
gonna ask you some questions.
309
00:19:44,786 --> 00:19:47,285
Mrs. Ledbetter,
thank you for coming in.
310
00:19:47,287 --> 00:19:48,453
Nice meetin' you.
311
00:19:48,455 --> 00:19:51,256
I'm sorry for what you've
been going through, ma'am!
312
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,527
I guess my first
question is, uh...
313
00:19:54,529 --> 00:19:57,395
do you think you might've been
singled out for some reason?
314
00:19:57,397 --> 00:20:00,231
You mean 'cause I'm
smarter than the lot of 'em?
315
00:20:00,233 --> 00:20:02,200
Most of 'em barely read.
316
00:20:02,202 --> 00:20:03,502
What about other women?
317
00:20:03,504 --> 00:20:05,805
Do you think that they
had similar experiences?
318
00:20:05,807 --> 00:20:07,673
Most girls can't
stomach the floor,
319
00:20:07,675 --> 00:20:10,241
or have the training
to be area managers,
320
00:20:10,243 --> 00:20:12,678
engineer techs,
or supervisors.
321
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,749
I don't understand why you
stayed under such miserable
322
00:20:16,751 --> 00:20:18,584
circumstances.
323
00:20:18,586 --> 00:20:19,987
Why?
324
00:20:20,888 --> 00:20:23,321
A supervisor position
at Goodyear was the
325
00:20:23,323 --> 00:20:27,560
highest-paying job
in the county, by far!
326
00:20:27,562 --> 00:20:30,596
That's-- that's new shoes for
my kids and more than fried
327
00:20:30,598 --> 00:20:32,230
bologna for dinner!
328
00:20:32,232 --> 00:20:35,366
Certainly, no amount of
money is worth your health and
329
00:20:35,368 --> 00:20:36,838
safety!
330
00:20:37,505 --> 00:20:41,709
I haven't had the privilege
to see it that way, Mr. Quinn.
331
00:20:43,410 --> 00:20:46,946
When our son was little, he
had ear infections all the
332
00:20:46,948 --> 00:20:51,953
time, but we couldn't afford the
operation to put the tubes in.
333
00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:55,988
So, the doctor, he
suggested I get into a program
334
00:20:55,990 --> 00:20:58,557
where women were being paid...
335
00:20:58,559 --> 00:21:01,394
to let surgeons
practice on 'em.
336
00:21:03,865 --> 00:21:05,933
Hysterectomies.
337
00:21:07,535 --> 00:21:11,269
He said I should have my
uterus and ovaries removed to
338
00:21:11,271 --> 00:21:13,040
pay for the ears.
339
00:21:15,910 --> 00:21:19,781
Believe me, I
thought about it.
340
00:21:25,485 --> 00:21:27,686
I'm a hard-worker.
341
00:21:27,688 --> 00:21:30,290
That's just who I am.
342
00:21:30,892 --> 00:21:33,659
So, what do you
think, do I have a case?
343
00:21:33,661 --> 00:21:36,962
I would love to
whoop Goodyear's ass.
344
00:21:36,964 --> 00:21:38,329
But...
345
00:21:38,331 --> 00:21:42,300
we need to get 'em on
environmental negligence or...
346
00:21:42,302 --> 00:21:44,904
patent violations, or wage
and hour class action --
347
00:21:44,906 --> 00:21:46,371
something with teeth.
348
00:21:46,373 --> 00:21:47,573
But they have
government contracts;
349
00:21:47,575 --> 00:21:49,074
don't they have to
do things right?
350
00:21:49,076 --> 00:21:51,811
There's no federal law
that mandates compliance.
351
00:21:51,813 --> 00:21:54,379
Your workers were protected,
but only because of their
352
00:21:54,381 --> 00:21:55,313
union.
353
00:21:55,315 --> 00:21:57,315
Supervisors don't
have any protection.
354
00:21:57,317 --> 00:21:59,450
From a
legal standpoint...
355
00:21:59,452 --> 00:22:01,086
there's nothing we can do.
356
00:22:01,088 --> 00:22:05,090
Without a doubt, your
treatment was an abomination.
357
00:22:05,092 --> 00:22:07,492
Mrs. Ledbetter, I'm sorry.
358
00:22:07,494 --> 00:22:10,497
It was very nice meeting you.
359
00:22:16,369 --> 00:22:17,705
Good luck.
360
00:22:22,109 --> 00:22:24,111
Thank
you for coming in.
361
00:22:26,948 --> 00:22:29,582
-Can I...
-No.
362
00:22:38,659 --> 00:22:41,560
My employer treated
me like a second-class citizen
363
00:22:41,562 --> 00:22:42,728
because I'm a woman.
364
00:22:42,730 --> 00:22:44,930
I gave them 20 years.
365
00:22:44,932 --> 00:22:47,633
You think they should get
away with how they treated me?
366
00:22:47,635 --> 00:22:50,803
No.
No, I do not.
367
00:22:50,805 --> 00:22:54,006
Look, we take these cases
on a contingency basis,
368
00:22:54,008 --> 00:22:57,910
so your complaint has to fit
into a very specific violation
369
00:22:57,912 --> 00:23:00,378
or else there's just not
enough of a guarantee,
370
00:23:00,380 --> 00:23:03,551
and we don't get
paid unless we win.
371
00:23:03,918 --> 00:23:05,052
But...
372
00:23:05,620 --> 00:23:07,720
if you can find
me some evidence,
373
00:23:07,722 --> 00:23:11,557
something specific -- I need
substantiation to build you a
374
00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:12,894
case.
375
00:23:13,393 --> 00:23:14,695
Okay?
376
00:23:16,163 --> 00:23:19,899
It was...a real
pleasure to meet you.
377
00:23:23,037 --> 00:23:25,537
Can I help you
down the stairs?
378
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,522
- Hey, Lilly!
- Hey.
379
00:23:41,989 --> 00:23:43,088
Shoot...
380
00:23:43,090 --> 00:23:44,089
Lilly...
381
00:23:44,091 --> 00:23:45,490
I'm running late to a meeting.
382
00:23:45,492 --> 00:23:48,027
Do you mind putting this on
Mr. Dawkins' desk for me?
383
00:23:48,029 --> 00:23:49,628
-Sure.
-Thanks, hon.
384
00:23:49,630 --> 00:23:51,630
-Take care.
-Thank you.
385
00:25:28,863 --> 00:25:30,129
My God...
386
00:25:38,906 --> 00:25:40,606
Stealing company property!
387
00:25:40,608 --> 00:25:42,141
You're really something.
388
00:25:42,143 --> 00:25:43,978
What you got in there, huh?
389
00:25:44,945 --> 00:25:46,945
You don't have the right!
390
00:25:51,152 --> 00:25:52,753
Tell you what...
391
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:55,687
I'm gonna give you a choice.
392
00:25:55,689 --> 00:26:00,159
We press charges, or you sign
the buyout of your contract.
393
00:26:00,161 --> 00:26:02,327
Either way, you're
getting outta here for good.
394
00:26:10,304 --> 00:26:12,673
He'll escort you to your car.
395
00:26:15,209 --> 00:26:16,909
Come on.
396
00:26:23,717 --> 00:26:24,883
Hey, what do you
think you're doing?!
397
00:26:24,885 --> 00:26:26,318
- Stop right there!
- I gotta get my things.
398
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,087
We will ship
it all to your house!
399
00:26:28,089 --> 00:26:29,221
It's my stuff.
400
00:26:29,223 --> 00:26:31,690
It's-- it's my kids' things.
401
00:26:31,692 --> 00:26:33,325
That's all I want.
402
00:26:33,327 --> 00:26:34,793
Get out.
403
00:26:48,109 --> 00:26:50,144
I'll send you that buyout!
404
00:26:50,344 --> 00:26:53,180
I suggest you
sign it right away!
405
00:26:56,217 --> 00:26:58,719
All right, let's get back
to work! The show's over!
406
00:27:01,622 --> 00:27:03,288
Now, the way I see it,
we've got four causes for
407
00:27:03,290 --> 00:27:04,990
-litigation.
-Great.
408
00:27:04,992 --> 00:27:08,026
One is equal pay -- willful
actions they took with wages
409
00:27:08,028 --> 00:27:10,796
transfers, promotions,
raises, evaluations.
410
00:27:10,798 --> 00:27:12,397
That note that you gave us
gives us a hell of a lot of
411
00:27:12,399 --> 00:27:14,900
-ammunition.
-Well, they cheated me. -Mm-hm.
412
00:27:14,902 --> 00:27:17,369
Two is Title VII for
disparate treatment,
413
00:27:17,371 --> 00:27:20,272
three is working in a
hostile work environment,
414
00:27:20,274 --> 00:27:22,908
and four is age discrimination
-- she was replaced by a kid
415
00:27:22,910 --> 00:27:24,943
-in, what, his 20s?
-That's right.
416
00:27:24,945 --> 00:27:28,280
Title VII cases
have caps on damages.
417
00:27:28,282 --> 00:27:30,382
This is never
gonna be a big payday.
418
00:27:30,384 --> 00:27:32,751
You think I'm doing
this for the money?
419
00:27:32,753 --> 00:27:36,421
But this is not clear-cut,
with limited upside and...
420
00:27:36,423 --> 00:27:38,325
you're looking
to make partner!
421
00:27:39,226 --> 00:27:41,362
I'ma trust my gut.
422
00:27:46,267 --> 00:27:47,733
Okay, then.
423
00:27:47,735 --> 00:27:49,401
Good luck!
424
00:27:49,403 --> 00:27:50,971
Okay!
425
00:27:52,406 --> 00:27:53,774
Well...
426
00:27:54,875 --> 00:27:56,810
here we go.
427
00:28:03,250 --> 00:28:05,117
That looks good!
428
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:06,718
How do you feel?
429
00:28:08,289 --> 00:28:10,824
Oh, like-- like the Tin Man.
430
00:28:12,059 --> 00:28:13,959
You ready for regionals?
431
00:28:13,961 --> 00:28:17,296
I would trade a thousand
regionals for the chance to
432
00:28:17,298 --> 00:28:18,999
beat Goodyear.
433
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,300
But they warned me
that it could take years.
434
00:28:21,302 --> 00:28:22,868
Are you sure
you're up for this?
435
00:28:22,870 --> 00:28:24,937
The lawyers want me in
Birmingham in the morning
436
00:28:24,939 --> 00:28:26,941
-but--
-What time do you wanna leave?
437
00:28:31,045 --> 00:28:32,811
Come here.
438
00:28:32,813 --> 00:28:34,281
Oh...
439
00:28:36,717 --> 00:28:39,351
♪ You
made me love you ♪
440
00:28:40,454 --> 00:28:41,920
♪ I didn't wanna do it ♪
441
00:28:41,922 --> 00:28:43,924
♪ I didn't wanna do it ♪
442
00:28:44,858 --> 00:28:47,159
♪ You made me want you ♪
443
00:28:47,161 --> 00:28:49,728
♪ And all the
time, you knew it ♪
444
00:28:49,730 --> 00:28:52,833
♪ I guess you
always knew it ♪
445
00:28:55,803 --> 00:28:57,102
You said you
needed to talk to me.
446
00:28:57,104 --> 00:28:58,272
Mm!
447
00:28:59,139 --> 00:29:00,872
You change your mind?
Something happen?
448
00:29:00,874 --> 00:29:03,010
No, no, nothing like that, no.
449
00:29:03,844 --> 00:29:05,279
No, I, um...
450
00:29:05,779 --> 00:29:06,778
We just..
451
00:29:06,780 --> 00:29:08,749
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
452
00:29:11,819 --> 00:29:13,318
I just, uh...
453
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,853
I wanted to take the
opportunity to talk to you
454
00:29:14,855 --> 00:29:16,488
about the trial.
455
00:29:16,490 --> 00:29:19,827
Um, trials are rough stuff.
456
00:29:21,028 --> 00:29:24,429
Opposing counsel's gonna
put you through the wringer,
457
00:29:24,431 --> 00:29:27,468
and I want you to
be ready for that.
458
00:29:30,538 --> 00:29:34,039
I grew up with no
electricity, no plumbing,
459
00:29:34,041 --> 00:29:37,144
stepped over snakes on
the way to the outhouse.
460
00:29:38,345 --> 00:29:43,083
My grandpa was a mean drunk,
and beat my mama up regular.
461
00:29:45,052 --> 00:29:49,056
And though she never told me,
she loved me my whole life.
462
00:29:51,458 --> 00:29:54,226
When he came
after me one night,
463
00:29:54,228 --> 00:29:56,428
she held a knife
to his throat,
464
00:29:56,430 --> 00:29:58,897
so I know a thing or
two about rough stuff,
465
00:29:58,899 --> 00:30:00,801
Mr. Goldfarb.
466
00:30:13,113 --> 00:30:14,212
What's this?
467
00:30:14,214 --> 00:30:16,450
That is due diligence.
468
00:30:18,052 --> 00:30:21,453
The court needs to see Lilly
Ledbetter as more than just a
469
00:30:21,455 --> 00:30:23,255
factory manager,
although I do have to say,
470
00:30:23,257 --> 00:30:26,024
Lilly Ledbetter, the
cheerleader and ballroom
471
00:30:26,026 --> 00:30:28,594
dancer was, uh, a
bit of a surprise.
472
00:30:28,596 --> 00:30:30,262
Mm.
473
00:30:30,264 --> 00:30:31,463
"Girl Gumption."
474
00:30:31,465 --> 00:30:32,497
Oh, Lord...
475
00:30:36,203 --> 00:30:40,072
I wanted that uniform so bad,
but my mother saw the world
476
00:30:40,074 --> 00:30:43,310
another way -- said I
wasn't the cheerleader type.
477
00:30:43,977 --> 00:30:46,078
I baked up a storm,
478
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,514
sold cakes at church --
it was Charles' idea.
479
00:30:48,516 --> 00:30:50,384
I got that uniform.
480
00:30:52,119 --> 00:30:54,188
We were married...
481
00:30:55,055 --> 00:30:57,091
several months later.
482
00:30:57,458 --> 00:30:58,957
Is she still with us?
483
00:30:58,959 --> 00:31:00,892
- Edna?
- Mm.
484
00:31:00,894 --> 00:31:02,861
Lost her some time back.
485
00:31:02,863 --> 00:31:04,429
Mm.
486
00:31:04,431 --> 00:31:08,636
She was like a dog who'd
been kicked around too much.
487
00:31:10,505 --> 00:31:13,173
It doesn't make the dog bad.
488
00:31:13,541 --> 00:31:18,546
She wanted me prepared for
the world the way she saw it.
489
00:31:19,246 --> 00:31:21,279
Made me who I am.
490
00:31:21,281 --> 00:31:23,050
I'm grateful.
491
00:31:24,918 --> 00:31:26,418
Uh...
492
00:31:26,420 --> 00:31:29,657
we need to talk about you
getting me some witnesses,
493
00:31:30,124 --> 00:31:33,258
Folks who are gonna be willing
to testify on your behalf,
494
00:31:33,260 --> 00:31:35,360
counter Goodyear's claims.
495
00:31:35,362 --> 00:31:37,963
That is gonna be very
crucial to our case.
496
00:31:37,965 --> 00:31:39,599
Now, uh...
497
00:31:39,601 --> 00:31:44,606
I suggest the crying
tiger tofu if you like spicy,
498
00:31:45,139 --> 00:31:46,972
which I do.
499
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,249
Debra!
Debra!
500
00:31:58,318 --> 00:32:00,152
What are you doing here?!
501
00:32:00,154 --> 00:32:03,488
I need somebody
to tell the truth.
502
00:32:03,490 --> 00:32:05,593
Please!
503
00:32:08,663 --> 00:32:11,430
Lilly, I want to help you.
504
00:32:11,432 --> 00:32:13,033
I do.
505
00:32:13,233 --> 00:32:16,001
But the company matches my
contributions for Courtney's
506
00:32:16,003 --> 00:32:17,637
disability!
507
00:32:17,639 --> 00:32:19,707
I can't jeopardize that!
508
00:32:20,642 --> 00:32:22,307
I won't.
509
00:32:54,475 --> 00:32:56,642
Mrs.Ledbetter, folks...
510
00:32:56,644 --> 00:32:59,712
let's look at exhibit one:
511
00:32:59,714 --> 00:33:04,218
area manager base
salary comparison chart.
512
00:33:04,719 --> 00:33:05,984
Now...
513
00:33:05,986 --> 00:33:08,286
what does that mean to you?
514
00:33:08,288 --> 00:33:09,722
Well, that's my
income last year,
515
00:33:09,724 --> 00:33:13,024
along with all the other
supervisors' salaries.
516
00:33:13,026 --> 00:33:16,995
But... we had no way of
knowing what anybody was making.
517
00:33:16,997 --> 00:33:18,296
And why is that?
518
00:33:18,298 --> 00:33:20,600
Well, the first thing you had
to do when you were hired was
519
00:33:20,602 --> 00:33:23,268
sign
non-disclosure agreements.
520
00:33:23,270 --> 00:33:24,704
If you talked
about what you earned,
521
00:33:24,706 --> 00:33:26,271
you'd be fired.
522
00:33:26,273 --> 00:33:29,407
Goodyear
was...strict about that.
523
00:33:29,409 --> 00:33:34,379
Now, your income is
15,000 dollars less
524
00:33:34,381 --> 00:33:36,414
than other managers
who are on this list,
525
00:33:36,416 --> 00:33:41,152
and if you include
overtime, it is half...
526
00:33:41,154 --> 00:33:44,557
half of what the
men are making.
527
00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:46,057
You know why that might be?
528
00:33:46,059 --> 00:33:47,693
No, sir, I do not.
529
00:33:47,695 --> 00:33:49,562
Do you think it might
be because you're a woman?
530
00:33:49,564 --> 00:33:52,297
- Objection! Leading the
witness! - Sustained.
531
00:33:52,299 --> 00:33:53,668
Withdrawn.
532
00:33:54,569 --> 00:33:58,571
Mrs. Ledbetter, when you
began your career at Goodyear,
533
00:33:58,573 --> 00:34:01,774
how many women were in
management positions?
534
00:34:01,776 --> 00:34:03,475
None.
535
00:34:03,477 --> 00:34:04,777
None.
536
00:34:04,779 --> 00:34:08,514
And when you ended your career
at Goodyear 19 years and nine
537
00:34:08,516 --> 00:34:11,751
months later,
how many women...
538
00:34:11,753 --> 00:34:14,352
were in managerial positions?
539
00:34:14,354 --> 00:34:15,588
None.
540
00:34:18,191 --> 00:34:19,661
None.
541
00:34:21,295 --> 00:34:22,595
Thank you.
542
00:34:22,597 --> 00:34:24,797
It wasargued early on that sexual
543
00:34:24,799 --> 00:34:28,534
harassment has nothing to dowith gender discrimination.
544
00:34:28,536 --> 00:34:31,504
Everyone knows
boys will be boys,
545
00:34:31,506 --> 00:34:33,271
and that was...
546
00:34:33,273 --> 00:34:34,840
that was that, but...
547
00:34:34,842 --> 00:34:39,512
there-- there are
state and federal laws --
548
00:34:39,514 --> 00:34:43,081
the laws are there,
the laws are in place.
549
00:34:43,083 --> 00:34:45,150
It takes people...
550
00:34:45,152 --> 00:34:46,752
to step forward and use them.
551
00:34:46,754 --> 00:34:50,088
Mrs. Ledbetter, please tell
the court what occurred on May
552
00:34:50,090 --> 00:34:52,794
17th, 1998.
553
00:34:54,227 --> 00:34:55,661
You mean the fire?
554
00:34:55,663 --> 00:34:58,263
Multiple men treated
for first-degree burns,
555
00:34:58,265 --> 00:35:01,601
hundreds of tires scrapped,
and who did the investigation
556
00:35:01,603 --> 00:35:03,636
-find responsible?
-I-- I was not!
557
00:35:03,638 --> 00:35:05,538
It was a
mechanical malfunction!
558
00:35:05,540 --> 00:35:08,473
Ask Andy Guthrie; he was
the first one on the scene!
559
00:35:08,475 --> 00:35:11,343
In June of 1981, did the
production line stop because
560
00:35:11,345 --> 00:35:12,310
you didn't know the circuitry?
561
00:35:12,312 --> 00:35:14,747
No, they reconfigured
it to sabotage me
562
00:35:14,749 --> 00:35:15,848
to make me look bad!
563
00:35:15,850 --> 00:35:18,450
Production stoppages,
workers' lives at stake--
564
00:35:18,452 --> 00:35:20,318
You cannot connect those two!
565
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,822
Your Honor!
Badgering.
566
00:35:22,824 --> 00:35:24,657
Withdrawn.
567
00:35:24,659 --> 00:35:26,792
Break for lunch!
568
00:35:26,794 --> 00:35:28,326
One hour!
569
00:35:28,328 --> 00:35:29,895
At thefirst indication that she was
570
00:35:29,897 --> 00:35:31,864
paid less, the defensewould have been
571
00:35:31,866 --> 00:35:34,634
"Oh, it had nothing to dowith Lilly being a woman.
572
00:35:34,636 --> 00:35:37,705
She just doesn't do
the job as well."
573
00:35:40,374 --> 00:35:43,776
But then, when she's done the
job year after year and gets
574
00:35:43,778 --> 00:35:46,413
good performance ratings...
575
00:35:47,147 --> 00:35:49,682
that defense is no
longer available,
576
00:35:49,684 --> 00:35:51,817
and she has a winnable case.
577
00:35:51,819 --> 00:35:54,319
Mr. Vogel, can you
tell us about your company's
578
00:35:54,321 --> 00:35:58,356
policy regarding pay
increases for plant managers?
579
00:35:58,358 --> 00:36:01,326
Pay for performance, Mr.
Goldfarb, it's very simple.
580
00:36:01,328 --> 00:36:05,165
And what can you tell us about
Mrs. Ledbetter's performance?
581
00:36:06,233 --> 00:36:08,299
Mrs. Ledbetter wants us
to believe that she was
582
00:36:08,301 --> 00:36:10,402
undervalued and underpaid.
583
00:36:10,404 --> 00:36:13,706
She was simply an
underperforming employee.
584
00:36:13,708 --> 00:36:16,942
If she wins, women all over
the country are going to use
585
00:36:16,944 --> 00:36:19,647
this as an excuse to sue.
586
00:36:20,247 --> 00:36:24,282
She was bossy, thought she was
better than everybody else.
587
00:36:24,284 --> 00:36:25,951
Nobody liked working with her.
588
00:36:25,953 --> 00:36:27,555
Nobody.
589
00:36:27,755 --> 00:36:29,789
Her evaluations were weak.
590
00:36:29,791 --> 00:36:31,557
Productivity was subpar.
591
00:36:31,559 --> 00:36:34,827
That woman has serious
issues with authority.
592
00:36:34,829 --> 00:36:37,563
She was not what you'd
call a "team player."
593
00:36:37,565 --> 00:36:39,330
And respect?
594
00:36:39,332 --> 00:36:41,701
She never knew her place
around upper management.
595
00:36:41,703 --> 00:36:43,035
Never.
596
00:36:43,037 --> 00:36:46,371
Womenwere hesitant to come forward.
597
00:36:46,373 --> 00:36:48,974
I think one of the
principle reasons for it:
598
00:36:48,976 --> 00:36:52,310
they feared that they
would not be believed.
599
00:36:52,312 --> 00:36:54,647
-Andy...
-I-- I can't be talking to you.
600
00:36:54,649 --> 00:36:56,414
You know I'm a good worker.
601
00:36:56,416 --> 00:36:57,550
It doesn't matter what I know.
602
00:36:57,552 --> 00:36:59,286
It does to me!
603
00:37:01,622 --> 00:37:04,391
Well, then, I'll tell
you straight to your face:
604
00:37:05,225 --> 00:37:08,594
you worked harder and smarter
than any supervisor I ever
605
00:37:08,596 --> 00:37:09,931
trained.
606
00:37:10,497 --> 00:37:11,999
But in there?
607
00:37:13,735 --> 00:37:15,668
No way.
608
00:37:29,449 --> 00:37:31,519
I can't sleep either.
609
00:37:35,355 --> 00:37:37,491
Cowards and bullies.
610
00:37:38,626 --> 00:37:41,829
They wouldn't last one day
if the tables were turned.
611
00:37:42,930 --> 00:37:44,630
20 years of this bullshit.
612
00:37:44,632 --> 00:37:47,666
Did you see that jury, the
way they looked at you?!
613
00:37:47,668 --> 00:37:48,834
And only two women?!
614
00:37:48,836 --> 00:37:51,504
How the hell'd
that happen, huh?!
615
00:37:53,541 --> 00:37:56,407
Jon wants me to smile more.
616
00:37:56,409 --> 00:37:58,677
Don't you dare smile.
617
00:38:06,453 --> 00:38:10,022
It was during my overseas
deployment that I began my--
618
00:38:10,024 --> 00:38:11,559
No...
619
00:38:12,059 --> 00:38:15,728
My duty overseas was the
beginning of a long military
620
00:38:15,730 --> 00:38:18,597
career, for which I
am ever grateful?
621
00:38:18,599 --> 00:38:21,901
Ever grateful? That I'm--
that I'm grateful for? I...
622
00:38:21,903 --> 00:38:23,769
Did you tell them you were
retired with honors and you
623
00:38:23,771 --> 00:38:26,304
practically ran
Fort McClellan?
624
00:38:26,306 --> 00:38:28,541
You built that thing up when
it was nothin' but a cesspool.
625
00:38:28,543 --> 00:38:31,409
Well, it's embarrassing
talking about yourself.
626
00:38:31,411 --> 00:38:33,612
Well, pretend you're
talking to the morning doves!
627
00:38:33,614 --> 00:38:36,749
Yeah, I'd do great in
a room full of birds.
628
00:38:36,751 --> 00:38:39,685
Pastor Robert said
your story was inspiring,
629
00:38:39,687 --> 00:38:43,088
and you can't say no when
you're asked to give testimony
630
00:38:43,090 --> 00:38:44,824
before the congregation.
631
00:38:44,826 --> 00:38:47,595
It's just jitters.
C'mon, we're gonna be late.
632
00:38:51,732 --> 00:38:53,331
Good morning!
633
00:38:53,333 --> 00:38:54,667
Come meet
Congressman McGintry,
634
00:38:54,669 --> 00:38:55,901
running for reelection!
635
00:38:55,903 --> 00:38:57,002
Good morning, y'all.
And remember:
636
00:38:57,004 --> 00:39:00,340
it's your vote that keeps
Alabama industry strong.
637
00:39:00,775 --> 00:39:01,974
Good morning!
638
00:39:01,976 --> 00:39:03,809
Come meet
Congressman Dan McGintry,
639
00:39:03,811 --> 00:39:05,443
-he's running for reelection!
-How are y'all?!
640
00:39:05,445 --> 00:39:08,379
Remember: it's poultry,
automotive, and mining that
641
00:39:08,381 --> 00:39:10,616
makes Alabama great!
642
00:39:10,618 --> 00:39:12,350
Mornin', how
y'all doin' today?
643
00:39:12,352 --> 00:39:14,553
-Pastor!
-It's a fine morning, isn't it?
644
00:39:14,555 --> 00:39:15,654
It
certainly is, Charles.
645
00:39:15,656 --> 00:39:17,756
-Lilly...
-Hello.
646
00:39:17,758 --> 00:39:18,991
I want to give you a heads up:
647
00:39:18,993 --> 00:39:20,626
there's been a
change of plan.
648
00:39:20,628 --> 00:39:22,695
Well, what ever you need!
649
00:39:22,697 --> 00:39:24,429
Well...
650
00:39:24,431 --> 00:39:27,498
we think it may not be the
best idea for you to address
651
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:28,901
the congregation...
652
00:39:28,903 --> 00:39:31,937
with everything
that's going on right now.
653
00:39:31,939 --> 00:39:34,439
Timing's not good with
that lawsuit and all.
654
00:39:34,441 --> 00:39:35,808
What?!
655
00:39:35,810 --> 00:39:38,711
-Wh-- he--
-Congressman McGintry is, uh,
656
00:39:38,713 --> 00:39:40,478
joining us today.
657
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:41,881
Washington man running for
reelection -- it's a big honor
658
00:39:41,883 --> 00:39:43,515
for us.
659
00:39:43,517 --> 00:39:45,786
My father was a pastor here.
660
00:39:46,453 --> 00:39:47,418
My grandpa, too.
661
00:39:47,420 --> 00:39:49,688
Four generations
belonged to this ministry.
662
00:39:49,690 --> 00:39:51,957
Of course.
And we're deeply indebted to
663
00:39:51,959 --> 00:39:54,425
your family, Charles.
664
00:39:54,427 --> 00:39:55,828
Let's just...
665
00:39:55,830 --> 00:39:58,097
Let's just revisit
this in a few months,
666
00:39:58,099 --> 00:40:00,431
when everything's
quieted down, how's that?
667
00:40:00,433 --> 00:40:03,869
You think testimony to
the Lord has a right time?
668
00:40:03,871 --> 00:40:05,905
Maybe it's time for you
to review your Matthew,
669
00:40:05,907 --> 00:40:08,173
chapter five, verse ten.
670
00:40:08,175 --> 00:40:10,876
"Blessed are they who are
persecuted for the sake of
671
00:40:10,878 --> 00:40:12,780
righteousness."
672
00:40:13,047 --> 00:40:14,947
C'mon, Lilly.
673
00:40:46,781 --> 00:40:48,182
Jesus...
674
00:40:52,753 --> 00:40:54,121
God!
675
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,487
Lilly?!
Lilly!
676
00:40:56,489 --> 00:40:58,057
- What?! What?!
- Oh...
677
00:40:58,059 --> 00:40:59,692
somebody poisoned the feeders!
678
00:40:59,694 --> 00:41:01,694
-What?!
-Someone...
679
00:41:01,696 --> 00:41:03,798
poisoned the feeders.
680
00:41:08,903 --> 00:41:10,069
Mr. Granger...
681
00:41:10,071 --> 00:41:13,772
thank you for coming all
this way to provide testimony.
682
00:41:13,774 --> 00:41:14,873
It's my pleasure.
683
00:41:14,875 --> 00:41:18,143
When did you
first meet Mrs. Ledbetter?
684
00:41:18,145 --> 00:41:21,547
We started out together
as supervisor trainees.
685
00:41:21,549 --> 00:41:23,849
When you started at Goodyear,
did you have a college
686
00:41:23,851 --> 00:41:25,918
-education?
-No, sir.
687
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,020
I hadn't even
finished high school.
688
00:41:28,022 --> 00:41:30,022
But, since then, with
the company's support,
689
00:41:30,024 --> 00:41:32,891
I've earned my
Bachelor's and an MBA.
690
00:41:32,893 --> 00:41:34,829
An MBA?
691
00:41:35,529 --> 00:41:36,829
Wow.
692
00:41:36,831 --> 00:41:38,630
Now, what is your
current position?
693
00:41:38,632 --> 00:41:41,066
I'm a senior vice president,
North American division,
694
00:41:41,068 --> 00:41:42,868
in Akron, Ohio.
695
00:41:42,870 --> 00:41:45,137
But I won't be, after today.
696
00:41:45,139 --> 00:41:48,073
I've accepted a new
position at a non-profit that
697
00:41:48,075 --> 00:41:51,577
repurposes synthesized
elastomer petroleum --
698
00:41:51,579 --> 00:41:53,178
essentially recycling tires.
699
00:41:53,180 --> 00:41:55,182
Thank you.
700
00:41:55,750 --> 00:41:57,282
Now, Mr. Granger, when
you worked at Goodyear,
701
00:41:57,284 --> 00:42:00,252
were you present at a
meeting in which Mr. Dawkins
702
00:42:00,254 --> 00:42:02,755
criticized Miss
Ledbetter and her performance,
703
00:42:02,757 --> 00:42:05,257
despite the fact that her
production numbers were the
704
00:42:05,259 --> 00:42:07,259
best in the plant?
705
00:42:07,261 --> 00:42:09,163
Yes, I was.
706
00:42:09,630 --> 00:42:12,967
Would you tell the court
what you heard him say?
707
00:42:15,636 --> 00:42:17,970
I apologize, Lilly, you
shouldn't have to hear this.
708
00:42:17,972 --> 00:42:19,840
It's okay, Tim.
709
00:42:21,976 --> 00:42:24,710
He said, "I won't give
that effin' bitch a raise."
710
00:42:28,649 --> 00:42:31,817
Now, Mr. Granger, with
your fine education,
711
00:42:31,819 --> 00:42:35,087
do you think that you
can calculate for us the
712
00:42:35,089 --> 00:42:38,123
difference in what Mrs.
Ledbetter's income might have
713
00:42:38,125 --> 00:42:41,727
been over the course of her
career if she had had the same
714
00:42:41,729 --> 00:42:46,031
access to salary, raises,
overtime as you and the other
715
00:42:46,033 --> 00:42:47,099
men that she worked with?
716
00:42:47,101 --> 00:42:48,267
Objection!
717
00:42:48,269 --> 00:42:51,036
Speculation -- the witness
is not a qualified expert!
718
00:42:51,038 --> 00:42:52,971
An expert in math?!
719
00:42:52,973 --> 00:42:54,273
Sustained.
720
00:42:54,275 --> 00:42:56,275
About 500,000 dollars.
721
00:42:56,277 --> 00:42:57,709
Move to
strike, Your Honor!
722
00:42:57,711 --> 00:43:00,679
That testimony will
be stricken from the record!
723
00:43:00,681 --> 00:43:02,149
Nothing further.
724
00:43:02,616 --> 00:43:04,316
Onecase that gave me enormous
725
00:43:04,318 --> 00:43:07,052
satisfaction wasLilly Ledbetter's case.
726
00:43:07,054 --> 00:43:10,155
One day, someone puts a slip
of paper in her mailbox with a
727
00:43:10,157 --> 00:43:12,091
series of numbers.
728
00:43:12,093 --> 00:43:16,030
They were the pay of allthe other area managers.
729
00:43:16,831 --> 00:43:20,999
And the young man she had
just trained for the job was
730
00:43:21,001 --> 00:43:23,671
earning more than she was.
731
00:43:25,005 --> 00:43:28,173
You know, I'd like to deck
every one of those assholes.
732
00:43:28,175 --> 00:43:29,141
Oh, yeah...
733
00:43:29,143 --> 00:43:30,709
So, she said,
734
00:43:30,711 --> 00:43:32,111
"I've had it.
735
00:43:32,113 --> 00:43:34,113
I'm going to sue."
736
00:43:34,115 --> 00:43:36,148
And she sued under Title VII -
our anti-discrimination and
737
00:43:36,150 --> 00:43:38,217
employment law.
738
00:43:38,219 --> 00:43:39,618
Good
afternoon and welcome back,
739
00:43:39,620 --> 00:43:41,220
ladies and
gentlemen of the jury.
740
00:43:41,222 --> 00:43:42,321
- Hey, Mama.
- Now...
741
00:43:42,323 --> 00:43:44,158
to the first charge,
742
00:43:44,658 --> 00:43:46,391
that of retaliation
for complaining of
743
00:43:46,393 --> 00:43:50,162
sex discrimination,
how do you answer?
744
00:43:50,164 --> 00:43:52,231
We find for the defendant.
745
00:43:52,233 --> 00:43:56,068
And to the second
claim of age discrimination,
746
00:43:56,070 --> 00:43:57,369
how do you answer?
747
00:43:57,371 --> 00:43:59,071
We find for the defendant.
748
00:44:00,274 --> 00:44:04,243
To the third claim, do you
find it more likely than not
749
00:44:04,245 --> 00:44:08,747
that the defendant paid the
plaintiff an unequal salary
750
00:44:08,749 --> 00:44:10,682
-because of her sex?
-Yes, Your Honor.
751
00:44:10,684 --> 00:44:12,384
We find for the plaintiff.
752
00:44:14,989 --> 00:44:18,392
What amount of
backpay is the plaintiff owed?
753
00:44:19,126 --> 00:44:23,095
223,776 dollars, Your Honor.
754
00:44:23,097 --> 00:44:25,731
And what
amount of punitive damages,
755
00:44:25,733 --> 00:44:28,367
if any, do you award?
756
00:44:31,005 --> 00:44:36,010
3,285,979 dollars.
757
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,214
We thank the
jury for their service.
758
00:44:42,216 --> 00:44:43,448
You are free to go.
759
00:44:43,450 --> 00:44:45,250
This court is now dismissed.
760
00:44:45,252 --> 00:44:47,219
You said the
damages were capped!
761
00:44:47,221 --> 00:44:48,921
Oh, they are!
762
00:44:48,923 --> 00:44:50,889
That jury just sent a message.
763
00:44:57,431 --> 00:44:59,231
Mama...
764
00:45:04,405 --> 00:45:06,939
I wish Phil was here.
765
00:45:06,941 --> 00:45:09,308
I know, I know.
766
00:45:31,198 --> 00:45:33,467
Thought you might like
to see this one, too.
767
00:45:34,101 --> 00:45:36,937
Otto Vogel from
Goodyear returning on one.
768
00:45:40,341 --> 00:45:42,374
Mr. Vogel!
Ken Kohler here.
769
00:45:42,376 --> 00:45:44,142
The Chamber of Commerce wants
you to know that you've got
770
00:45:44,144 --> 00:45:46,144
support on the
Ledbetter appeal.
771
00:45:46,146 --> 00:45:47,379
We're not going to appeal.
772
00:45:47,381 --> 00:45:50,849
The legal fees would be higher
than the caps on damages.
773
00:45:50,851 --> 00:45:52,818
It's just a nuisance
we'd rather fade away.
774
00:45:52,820 --> 00:45:54,052
I beg to
differ. The verdict's gotta be
775
00:45:54,054 --> 00:45:56,288
overturned or you'll have
every disgruntled employee in
776
00:45:56,290 --> 00:45:58,457
the country dredging
up stale pay claims.
777
00:45:58,459 --> 00:46:00,492
Look, Goodyear
may get off easy,
778
00:46:00,494 --> 00:46:02,961
but every other business
in America will suffer.
779
00:46:02,963 --> 00:46:05,931
We have a great deal of
influence on Capitol Hill...
780
00:46:05,933 --> 00:46:07,533
and in the courts.
781
00:46:07,535 --> 00:46:11,169
I'm sure I can find
someone in Alabama to help.
782
00:46:11,171 --> 00:46:12,771
You on board?
783
00:46:12,773 --> 00:46:14,039
Let me know what
you rustle up.
784
00:46:14,041 --> 00:46:16,110
Will do!
Thank you.
785
00:46:19,346 --> 00:46:21,113
I'm back!
786
00:46:21,115 --> 00:46:23,984
Thought I just
saw a red-plumed cardinal!
787
00:46:24,251 --> 00:46:26,554
Maybe it's just
an early robin.
788
00:46:27,087 --> 00:46:29,288
Whoa!
Where's my wife?!
789
00:46:29,290 --> 00:46:30,255
You like it?
790
00:46:30,257 --> 00:46:33,561
-I needed a change.
-Yeah, I love it!
791
00:46:34,228 --> 00:46:36,228
I got some news
you're not gonna like.
792
00:46:37,264 --> 00:46:39,164
Jon just called.
793
00:46:39,166 --> 00:46:41,166
Goodyear's appealing.
794
00:46:45,540 --> 00:46:47,806
Look, we know it was coming.
795
00:46:57,885 --> 00:47:01,219
Jon was confident the
verdict would stand.
796
00:47:01,221 --> 00:47:02,555
Says...
797
00:47:02,557 --> 00:47:05,424
there's no jury, they just
argue the briefs already
798
00:47:05,426 --> 00:47:06,526
filed.
799
00:47:06,528 --> 00:47:08,493
Says we'll hear soon.
800
00:47:08,495 --> 00:47:09,928
Do you want bread
with the salad?
801
00:47:09,930 --> 00:47:11,566
Oy...
802
00:47:12,499 --> 00:47:14,232
I don't feel-- I
don't feel so good.
803
00:47:14,234 --> 00:47:15,601
You got that headache again?
804
00:47:15,603 --> 00:47:17,336
Lemme get you something.
805
00:47:21,308 --> 00:47:23,141
You okay?
806
00:47:23,143 --> 00:47:25,346
Charles?
807
00:47:36,056 --> 00:47:37,523
- Hey!
- Ow...
808
00:47:37,525 --> 00:47:39,024
- Hey!
- How is he?
809
00:47:39,026 --> 00:47:42,194
Oh, well, they gave
me some happy drugs!
810
00:47:42,196 --> 00:47:43,895
Oh, good.
811
00:47:43,897 --> 00:47:45,030
Charles!
812
00:47:45,032 --> 00:47:47,399
-Good to see you up!
-I'll just-- I'll wait outside.
813
00:47:47,401 --> 00:47:50,035
No, no, no!
You stay, Jon.
814
00:47:50,037 --> 00:47:52,039
He's a good friend.
815
00:47:53,107 --> 00:47:55,941
We removed the tumor,
816
00:47:55,943 --> 00:47:59,010
but we are dealing
with a malignancy.
817
00:47:59,012 --> 00:48:02,414
Having said that, with a
round of chemo and careful
818
00:48:02,416 --> 00:48:05,350
monitoring, you
have a good prognosis.
819
00:48:05,352 --> 00:48:07,419
Oh, I appreciate that, Doc.
820
00:48:07,421 --> 00:48:08,654
Rest up,
we'll talk soon.
821
00:48:08,656 --> 00:48:10,255
Mm.
822
00:48:10,257 --> 00:48:11,624
Thanks.
823
00:48:11,626 --> 00:48:14,094
Hey, you okay?
824
00:48:15,329 --> 00:48:16,895
I am if you are.
825
00:48:16,897 --> 00:48:19,364
Just a little skin cancer.
826
00:48:19,366 --> 00:48:21,601
Runs in my family,
everybody does fine,
827
00:48:21,603 --> 00:48:23,404
so will I.
828
00:48:24,104 --> 00:48:25,605
All right, Jon,
let's have it.
829
00:48:25,607 --> 00:48:28,940
I know you didn't come here
just to bring me some flowers.
830
00:48:30,911 --> 00:48:32,479
Uh...
831
00:48:34,047 --> 00:48:36,283
Well, um...
832
00:48:37,050 --> 00:48:39,251
-we lost the appeal.
-What?!
833
00:48:39,253 --> 00:48:41,987
They decided to
disregard the previous ruling,
834
00:48:41,989 --> 00:48:45,457
and they found that you had to
have filed a complaint within
835
00:48:45,459 --> 00:48:49,529
180 days of the original
discriminatory paycheck.
836
00:48:49,531 --> 00:48:51,930
"First" as in 20 years ago?
837
00:48:51,932 --> 00:48:53,633
How could she
complain if she didn't know?
838
00:48:53,635 --> 00:48:55,100
It makes no sense!
839
00:48:55,102 --> 00:48:57,202
Look, we all grow up thinking
that the law is based on the
840
00:48:57,204 --> 00:48:59,505
truth, and in reality, it's
really about who can best
841
00:48:59,507 --> 00:49:01,239
manipulate the system.
842
00:49:01,241 --> 00:49:03,509
How could two different courts
come up with two different
843
00:49:03,511 --> 00:49:05,210
- conclusions?
- Right!
844
00:49:05,212 --> 00:49:06,712
See, that's
exactly the problem;
845
00:49:06,714 --> 00:49:10,015
there is a discrepancy in
the interpretation of the law,
846
00:49:10,017 --> 00:49:12,552
and that is why the partners
and I would like to take
847
00:49:12,554 --> 00:49:13,586
this...
848
00:49:13,588 --> 00:49:16,023
to the Supreme Court.
849
00:49:16,390 --> 00:49:18,558
- The Supreme Court?
- Yeah.
850
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,093
See, in our original case, the
court found that every single
851
00:49:22,095 --> 00:49:25,096
one of Lilly's paychecks was
discriminatory because she
852
00:49:25,098 --> 00:49:27,567
continued to be unfairly
paid based on the first unfair
853
00:49:27,569 --> 00:49:29,468
paycheck, but the
appellate court found that,
854
00:49:29,470 --> 00:49:32,538
because she didn't file her
complaint within 180 days,
855
00:49:32,540 --> 00:49:34,973
that the rest of the
paychecks were all fine.
856
00:49:34,975 --> 00:49:37,976
So the company profits
from that injustice her whole
857
00:49:37,978 --> 00:49:40,011
career by keeping her
at the lowest salary.
858
00:49:40,013 --> 00:49:42,447
I mean, the
raises, the pension,
859
00:49:42,449 --> 00:49:46,519
contributions, social security
that I should have gotten!
860
00:49:46,521 --> 00:49:48,119
That's right,
if this ruling is allowed to
861
00:49:48,121 --> 00:49:51,256
stand, it puts a very
bad law on the books,
862
00:49:51,258 --> 00:49:54,092
and we can't let that happen.
863
00:49:54,094 --> 00:49:55,260
So...
864
00:49:55,262 --> 00:49:56,762
good news:
865
00:49:56,764 --> 00:49:59,599
I contacted the best Supreme
Court specialist that I know,
866
00:49:59,601 --> 00:50:02,100
and he has agreed to
argue your case pro bono.
867
00:50:02,102 --> 00:50:03,636
Well, I feel better already.
868
00:50:03,638 --> 00:50:05,405
But...
869
00:50:05,707 --> 00:50:09,341
the Supreme Court rejects 99
percent of the cases that are
870
00:50:09,343 --> 00:50:12,778
submitted to it,
and this case is...
871
00:50:12,780 --> 00:50:15,146
it's a long shot, at best.
872
00:50:15,148 --> 00:50:17,182
Either way...
873
00:50:17,184 --> 00:50:21,186
it's gonna take
some time, so, you...
874
00:50:21,188 --> 00:50:24,222
just worry about
getting better, okay?
875
00:50:24,224 --> 00:50:26,460
I will take care of the rest.
876
00:50:27,327 --> 00:50:28,493
Thank you, Jon.
877
00:50:28,495 --> 00:50:31,064
-Bye.
-Yeah, all right.
878
00:50:31,633 --> 00:50:34,366
Enjoy your happy drugs.
879
00:50:46,113 --> 00:50:49,281
The fundamental disagreement
in this case is the definition
880
00:50:49,283 --> 00:50:51,684
of "unlawful
employment practice."
881
00:50:51,686 --> 00:50:52,985
For years, my
client, Ms. Ledbetter,
882
00:50:52,987 --> 00:50:56,187
received smaller pay increases
than men do in the same job as
883
00:50:56,189 --> 00:50:59,157
her at a tire plant
in Gadsden, Alabama.
884
00:50:59,159 --> 00:51:00,826
The court below held that
she should have complained
885
00:51:00,828 --> 00:51:02,227
earlier.
886
00:51:02,229 --> 00:51:04,162
But how could she had done
so when those discriminatory
887
00:51:04,164 --> 00:51:06,599
raises were being
given in secret?
888
00:51:06,601 --> 00:51:09,569
Miss Ledbetter was consigned
to a career as a second-class
889
00:51:09,571 --> 00:51:11,804
employee only
because she is a woman.
890
00:51:11,806 --> 00:51:15,508
That cannot be the
law, and it isn't.
891
00:51:15,510 --> 00:51:19,745
There comes a point when
discrimination is staring at
892
00:51:19,747 --> 00:51:23,248
you in the face and you
have to make a stand,
893
00:51:23,250 --> 00:51:24,784
and that's what Lilly did.
894
00:51:24,786 --> 00:51:27,118
You said the Ledbetter
petition would never land on
895
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:28,219
the docket.
896
00:51:28,221 --> 00:51:29,722
We've got friends
in high places.
897
00:51:29,724 --> 00:51:32,157
We stuck our neck
out on your advice.
898
00:51:32,159 --> 00:51:34,127
You won't regret it.
899
00:51:35,863 --> 00:51:38,265
Wilson looking for a
man in the end zone...
900
00:51:38,633 --> 00:51:39,599
Oh!
901
00:51:39,601 --> 00:51:41,601
Is this the recipe
with the cocoa powder?
902
00:51:41,603 --> 00:51:43,636
I like it better than
the melted chocolate.
903
00:51:43,638 --> 00:51:44,704
Mm, me too.
904
00:51:44,706 --> 00:51:47,405
Gimme that.
905
00:51:47,407 --> 00:51:49,474
Alex!
Where's Will?
906
00:51:49,476 --> 00:51:51,777
I've never known him to
miss one of your birthdays!
907
00:51:51,779 --> 00:51:53,779
Finals.
Couldn't get up here in time.
908
00:51:53,781 --> 00:51:55,848
Oh, college boy.
909
00:51:55,850 --> 00:51:57,650
I'm so proud of him.
910
00:51:57,652 --> 00:51:59,317
We are too.
911
00:51:59,319 --> 00:52:00,586
Nice ball!
912
00:52:00,588 --> 00:52:03,891
Thanks, yeah, Uncle Phil
got it for Alex last night.
913
00:52:08,495 --> 00:52:10,261
Y-- you saw Phil?
914
00:52:10,263 --> 00:52:11,463
Well, he called.
915
00:52:11,465 --> 00:52:14,600
I told him about
what's going on with me.
916
00:52:14,602 --> 00:52:16,871
He's moving back home!
917
00:52:17,505 --> 00:52:19,705
Just give him a
little time, all right?
918
00:52:19,707 --> 00:52:21,574
He'll come around.
919
00:52:36,524 --> 00:52:39,558
This is 90.3 WBHM,
920
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,427
from the heart of Alabama,
with news on today's Supreme
921
00:52:42,429 --> 00:52:43,896
Court rulings.
922
00:52:43,898 --> 00:52:47,833
Today, in a 5-4 vote
delivered by Justice Alito,
923
00:52:47,835 --> 00:52:50,803
the Supreme Court ruled
against Lilly Ledbetter in her
924
00:52:50,805 --> 00:52:53,572
efforts to hold Goodyear
accountable for discriminatory
925
00:52:53,574 --> 00:52:54,840
pay.
926
00:52:54,842 --> 00:52:58,243
But Justice Ginsburg, reading
her dissent from the bench,
927
00:52:58,245 --> 00:53:01,246
said, "The Court does not
comprehend or is indifferent
928
00:53:01,248 --> 00:53:04,349
to the insidious way in
which women can be victims of
929
00:53:04,351 --> 00:53:06,351
discrimination.
930
00:53:06,353 --> 00:53:09,487
Once again, the ball
is in Congress' court."
931
00:53:11,726 --> 00:53:13,458
In
another Supreme Court ruling,
932
00:53:13,460 --> 00:53:15,596
the majority determined--
933
00:53:16,363 --> 00:53:17,732
Okay.
934
00:53:19,266 --> 00:53:21,301
Okay, well...
935
00:53:21,536 --> 00:53:23,536
I know that it doesn't
seem like it, but, uh,
936
00:53:23,538 --> 00:53:25,403
that's huge, Lilly.
937
00:53:25,405 --> 00:53:29,441
They rarely read their
dissent from the bench.
938
00:53:29,443 --> 00:53:31,478
That means that
you got to her.
939
00:53:35,415 --> 00:53:37,550
It's their job...
940
00:53:37,552 --> 00:53:41,488
to make sure the laws of
our country protect us.
941
00:53:41,823 --> 00:53:44,790
It's a
Conservative court, it...
942
00:53:44,792 --> 00:53:46,324
These are powerful groups.
943
00:53:46,326 --> 00:53:48,894
We knew that it
could go either way.
944
00:53:56,938 --> 00:53:59,372
I screwed it up.
945
00:54:00,875 --> 00:54:03,511
I screwed it all up.
946
00:54:13,253 --> 00:54:15,453
"Theball is now in Congress'
947
00:54:15,455 --> 00:54:16,991
court...
948
00:54:17,525 --> 00:54:19,925
to correct the error...
949
00:54:19,927 --> 00:54:22,027
into which...
950
00:54:22,029 --> 00:54:24,730
my colleagues have fallen."
951
00:54:34,542 --> 00:54:36,307
Mrs. Ledbetter.
952
00:54:36,309 --> 00:54:39,344
I'm Jocelyn Samuels from the
National Women's Law Center in
953
00:54:39,346 --> 00:54:40,846
DC.
954
00:54:40,848 --> 00:54:44,415
You came all the way from
Washington just to talk to me?
955
00:54:44,417 --> 00:54:46,319
Yes, I did.
956
00:54:46,654 --> 00:54:49,420
The Court made a
terrible mistake today.
957
00:54:49,422 --> 00:54:51,322
I'm wondering if you
have a few minutes?
958
00:54:51,324 --> 00:54:54,427
Well, I wish you'd
called before you came.
959
00:54:58,431 --> 00:55:00,835
Come on!
I'll make coffee.
960
00:55:01,702 --> 00:55:05,070
You mean a law that says
companies can't cheat women?
961
00:55:05,072 --> 00:55:07,773
A law that would
make every unfair paycheck a
962
00:55:07,775 --> 00:55:10,408
discriminatory act,
not just the first.
963
00:55:10,410 --> 00:55:12,711
So people would have
time to fight back.
964
00:55:12,713 --> 00:55:15,581
Rosa DeLauro and George Miller
are introducing the Fair Pay
965
00:55:15,583 --> 00:55:17,382
Act in the House
of Representatives.
966
00:55:19,020 --> 00:55:20,655
Excuse me.
967
00:55:21,622 --> 00:55:22,855
- Hello?
- Hi!
968
00:55:22,857 --> 00:55:24,790
This is The New
York Times calling.
969
00:55:24,792 --> 00:55:27,560
-Lilly Ledbetter, please?
-Uh, this is she.
970
00:55:27,562 --> 00:55:28,994
It's
The New York Times!
971
00:55:28,996 --> 00:55:30,830
Would you
available for an interview
972
00:55:30,832 --> 00:55:32,397
tomorrow with one
of our journalists?
973
00:55:32,399 --> 00:55:34,600
- Uh...sure.
- Great.
974
00:55:34,602 --> 00:55:37,402
I-- I think I can do that.
975
00:55:37,404 --> 00:55:39,972
So, then, we'll call
you later to schedule, okay?
976
00:55:39,974 --> 00:55:41,640
Okay.
977
00:55:41,642 --> 00:55:43,809
- Th-- thank you, bye.
- Bye-bye.
978
00:55:44,645 --> 00:55:46,145
When
you're in a fight,
979
00:55:46,147 --> 00:55:48,781
you think you're the only one,
but women all over the country
980
00:55:48,783 --> 00:55:49,882
need this!
981
00:55:49,884 --> 00:55:51,183
- Excuse me.
982
00:55:51,185 --> 00:55:52,785
It'svery hard to do anything as a
983
00:55:52,787 --> 00:55:54,587
- loner.
- Hello?
984
00:55:54,589 --> 00:55:56,055
Hi, this is the
NBC Nightly News with
985
00:55:56,057 --> 00:55:57,756
Brian Williams...
986
00:55:57,758 --> 00:55:58,824
Butif you get together with
987
00:55:58,826 --> 00:56:03,394
like-minded people,you can be a force...
988
00:56:03,396 --> 00:56:05,931
-for change.
O-- okay.
989
00:56:05,933 --> 00:56:07,766
- Thank you very much.
- Sure!
990
00:56:07,768 --> 00:56:09,902
Scheduling will call
you later to set up a time.
991
00:56:09,904 --> 00:56:11,469
We'll talk
later, thank you.
992
00:56:11,471 --> 00:56:12,571
Thank you.
993
00:56:12,573 --> 00:56:14,740
You've become the face of
women's inequity in the
994
00:56:14,742 --> 00:56:15,774
workplace.
995
00:56:15,776 --> 00:56:17,009
Justice Ginsburg said it!
996
00:56:17,011 --> 00:56:20,880
Congress needs to hear from
you to push this law along!
997
00:56:20,882 --> 00:56:22,648
To make it real!
998
00:56:22,650 --> 00:56:25,684
I-- I don't know about
politics or anything except...
999
00:56:25,686 --> 00:56:30,022
making tires and keeping
a checkbook straight...
1000
00:56:30,024 --> 00:56:31,290
baking and sewing, of course.
1001
00:56:31,292 --> 00:56:34,126
Not being an expert is the
very thing that is so powerful
1002
00:56:34,128 --> 00:56:35,794
about you!
1003
00:56:35,796 --> 00:56:37,630
But it is hard work.
1004
00:56:37,632 --> 00:56:40,699
And you'd have to be up
for a long slog again.
1005
00:56:42,637 --> 00:56:44,404
Oh!
1006
00:56:46,540 --> 00:56:47,775
Hello.
1007
00:56:50,845 --> 00:56:54,113
- We lost.
- Yeah, I-- I heard.
1008
00:56:54,115 --> 00:56:56,183
Are you okay?
1009
00:56:58,519 --> 00:57:00,586
Oh, this is Jocelyn Samuels.
1010
00:57:00,588 --> 00:57:02,888
She wants me to go to
Washington to meet some people
1011
00:57:02,890 --> 00:57:04,189
-in Congress.
-Hello.
1012
00:57:04,191 --> 00:57:05,624
My husband, Charles.
1013
00:57:05,626 --> 00:57:06,659
Hello.
1014
00:57:06,661 --> 00:57:07,962
Hello.
1015
00:57:08,729 --> 00:57:09,929
I...
1016
00:57:09,931 --> 00:57:11,997
I appreciate you
coming here, but...
1017
00:57:11,999 --> 00:57:14,199
really, I'm tired.
1018
00:57:14,201 --> 00:57:17,736
I just wanna enjoy
my grandkids and...
1019
00:57:17,738 --> 00:57:20,706
help Charles
through everything.
1020
00:57:20,708 --> 00:57:22,777
I hope
you'll think about it.
1021
00:57:23,077 --> 00:57:25,144
-Nice meeting you both.
-You too.
1022
00:57:25,146 --> 00:57:27,546
Thank you so much.
1023
00:57:31,886 --> 00:57:34,920
I'm sorry about before.
About Phillip.
1024
00:57:34,922 --> 00:57:38,190
I was gonna tell
ya, of course.
1025
00:57:38,192 --> 00:57:41,794
So, uh,
what are you gonna do?
1026
00:57:41,796 --> 00:57:44,462
Vacuum the living room.
1027
00:57:44,464 --> 00:57:46,165
NBC's coming to
interview me tomorrow.
1028
00:57:46,167 --> 00:57:47,199
Wow.
1029
00:57:47,201 --> 00:57:49,637
No, I mean about Washington.
1030
00:57:50,071 --> 00:57:54,006
I'm not having you
use me as an excuse.
1031
00:57:54,008 --> 00:57:55,774
So, go on.
1032
00:57:55,776 --> 00:57:58,010
Go get her before she leaves.
1033
00:57:58,012 --> 00:57:59,778
Go on.
1034
00:58:05,519 --> 00:58:06,752
Jocelyn!
1035
00:58:06,754 --> 00:58:08,854
Every time I write a dissent,
1036
00:58:08,856 --> 00:58:10,723
I'm hoping for one result:
1037
00:58:10,725 --> 00:58:13,959
either congressionalchange or, the other,
1038
00:58:13,961 --> 00:58:17,930
that the Court
will overrule its prior...
1039
00:58:17,932 --> 00:58:19,598
wrong decision.
1040
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:22,735
Who was it who said "Itain't over 'til it's over?"
1041
00:58:22,737 --> 00:58:24,105
Marcia!
1042
00:58:26,540 --> 00:58:28,507
Mrs. Ledbetter...
1043
00:58:28,509 --> 00:58:29,908
-Mr. Goldfarb!
-Hi.
1044
00:58:29,910 --> 00:58:32,878
I am so delighted
to finally meet you.
1045
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:33,779
Marcia's my boss.
1046
00:58:33,781 --> 00:58:35,147
She's the one that
found your story.
1047
00:58:35,149 --> 00:58:39,585
Your story jumped out at
me, like other American women
1048
00:58:39,587 --> 00:58:41,587
whose legacy
made a difference!
1049
00:58:41,589 --> 00:58:43,889
People are going to
remember your name!
1050
00:58:43,891 --> 00:58:45,157
I don't know about that.
1051
00:58:45,159 --> 00:58:47,259
Mrs. Ledbetter!
Welcome to Washington!
1052
00:58:47,261 --> 00:58:49,595
Good luck!
See you inside.
1053
00:58:49,597 --> 00:58:51,130
That is
George Miller,
1054
00:58:51,132 --> 00:58:53,832
and Rosa DeLauro --
the bill's sponsors.
1055
00:58:53,834 --> 00:58:56,001
I-- I didn't realize there
would be so many people.
1056
00:58:56,003 --> 00:58:58,003
- Just be yourself.
- So!
1057
00:58:58,005 --> 00:59:00,205
What do you do to shake
off nerves before your dance
1058
00:59:00,207 --> 00:59:01,407
competitions?
1059
00:59:01,409 --> 00:59:03,275
I dream about
winning the lottery.
1060
00:59:04,745 --> 00:59:07,681
That is priceless!
1061
00:59:13,187 --> 00:59:14,822
Good morning.
1062
00:59:15,589 --> 00:59:18,891
I'm Lilly Ledbetter, and
I'm here to tell you...
1063
00:59:18,893 --> 00:59:23,898
how my employer of almost 20
years discriminated against me,
1064
00:59:24,065 --> 00:59:25,998
and how I fought back.
1065
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:31,005
I was an underdog, like
David, who slayed Goliath...
1066
00:59:31,205 --> 00:59:33,005
without the
slingshot, of course.
1067
00:59:35,743 --> 00:59:38,010
The thing is...
1068
00:59:38,012 --> 00:59:42,249
where I come from,
we loved our Goliath.
1069
00:59:43,117 --> 00:59:47,019
Everybody you knew who had a
good job worked at Goodyear
1070
00:59:47,021 --> 00:59:49,088
Tire Company.
1071
00:59:49,090 --> 00:59:51,957
During World War II, when the
men went off to fight in the
1072
00:59:51,959 --> 00:59:56,061
war, my-- my
aunt, Maddie Belle,
1073
00:59:56,063 --> 00:59:58,063
practically ran the place!
1074
00:59:58,065 --> 01:00:01,834
And when I got hired into
the management program,
1075
01:00:01,836 --> 01:00:03,938
I was honored.
1076
01:00:04,738 --> 01:00:08,340
But that company
took advantage of me,
1077
01:00:08,342 --> 01:00:12,177
like so many companies are
taking advantage of their
1078
01:00:12,179 --> 01:00:15,114
workers, and that
just isn't right!
1079
01:00:16,917 --> 01:00:19,318
And so, I'm here...
1080
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,621
hoping that you
folks'll fix this...
1081
01:00:22,623 --> 01:00:25,023
for the American people,
1082
01:00:25,025 --> 01:00:30,030
to make sure that
what happened to me...
1083
01:00:32,166 --> 01:00:35,736
doesn't happen
to anybody else.
1084
01:00:38,139 --> 01:00:40,806
Thank you.
1085
01:00:40,808 --> 01:00:42,741
TheUS Supreme Court decides
1086
01:00:42,743 --> 01:00:44,109
"Lilly, you sued too late!
1087
01:00:44,111 --> 01:00:49,148
This law, Title VII, says youmust complain within 180 days
1088
01:00:49,150 --> 01:00:51,884
of thediscriminatory incident."
1089
01:00:51,886 --> 01:00:54,720
My theory in dissent...
1090
01:00:54,722 --> 01:00:58,223
was that every paycheck
she received renewed the
1091
01:00:58,225 --> 01:00:59,391
discrimination.
1092
01:00:59,393 --> 01:01:02,361
With this bill, we'll
reinstate that every paycheck
1093
01:01:02,363 --> 01:01:04,763
is a new discriminatory act.
1094
01:01:04,765 --> 01:01:07,266
It may not sound
like sweeping reform,
1095
01:01:07,268 --> 01:01:09,902
but think of it
like building heat --
1096
01:01:09,904 --> 01:01:12,871
you start with one
hot coal, and by the end,
1097
01:01:12,873 --> 01:01:14,909
you have a bonfire.
1098
01:01:15,376 --> 01:01:17,912
- This is the coal.
- Mm-hm.
1099
01:01:18,212 --> 01:01:21,747
Your being here will help
us get Congress on board.
1100
01:01:21,749 --> 01:01:24,183
Then, we just pray
President Bush doesn't veto.
1101
01:01:24,185 --> 01:01:28,187
Kinda sad that gender equity
has a political affiliation.
1102
01:01:28,189 --> 01:01:29,821
You did
great today, Lilly.
1103
01:01:29,823 --> 01:01:32,291
Now, we need you to talk up
the bill to members of the
1104
01:01:32,293 --> 01:01:34,693
House and the Senate.
1105
01:01:34,695 --> 01:01:35,994
How many are there?
1106
01:01:35,996 --> 01:01:38,864
435
in the House,
1107
01:01:38,866 --> 01:01:41,035
100 in the Senate.
1108
01:01:43,103 --> 01:01:47,206
-I'm gonna talk to 535 people?
-No!
1109
01:01:47,208 --> 01:01:50,142
Of course not, right?
1110
01:01:50,144 --> 01:01:52,377
We'll start with the
Southern bloc and the women.
1111
01:01:52,379 --> 01:01:53,845
Okay.
1112
01:01:53,847 --> 01:01:55,983
Hope you have thick skin.
1113
01:01:56,350 --> 01:01:59,084
We'll need 225
votes for the bill to pass,
1114
01:01:59,086 --> 01:02:01,486
and we've got two
weeks to get them.
1115
01:02:01,488 --> 01:02:04,089
How many meetings
can I do in a day?
1116
01:02:04,091 --> 01:02:05,424
That depends on you.
1117
01:02:05,426 --> 01:02:06,825
And them, of course.
1118
01:02:06,827 --> 01:02:07,926
Well...
1119
01:02:07,928 --> 01:02:10,128
don't underestimate this one.
1120
01:02:10,130 --> 01:02:12,366
She's a Wonder Woman.
1121
01:02:19,073 --> 01:02:21,108
Thank you, Jon.
1122
01:02:21,842 --> 01:02:23,942
For seeing something in me
I didn't even know that was
1123
01:02:23,944 --> 01:02:25,913
there myself.
1124
01:02:26,347 --> 01:02:28,280
Girl gumption, Lilly.
1125
01:02:51,839 --> 01:02:54,006
I-- I-- I am so...
1126
01:02:54,008 --> 01:02:56,141
I-- I'm so thrilled!
1127
01:02:56,143 --> 01:02:59,344
I am thrilled --
thrilled! -- to meet you.
1128
01:02:59,346 --> 01:03:00,479
I'm Lilly Ledbetter.
1129
01:03:00,481 --> 01:03:01,813
I...
1130
01:03:01,815 --> 01:03:04,916
I'm so happy to be here.
1131
01:03:04,918 --> 01:03:06,485
I am.
1132
01:03:06,487 --> 01:03:09,187
I'm-- I'm so
happy to meet you.
1133
01:03:09,189 --> 01:03:11,025
I'm just...
1134
01:03:12,393 --> 01:03:15,095
I'm-- I'm just happy.
1135
01:03:16,797 --> 01:03:18,499
Dan McGintry!
1136
01:03:18,999 --> 01:03:20,365
It's an honor to
meet you, Mr. Kohler.
1137
01:03:20,367 --> 01:03:22,467
How are ya?
Have a seat.
1138
01:03:23,904 --> 01:03:27,540
I'm a big fan of your campaigns
protecting coal and steel.
1139
01:03:27,542 --> 01:03:30,409
Alabama's indebted to you.
1140
01:03:30,411 --> 01:03:31,443
Of course, on a
personal level,
1141
01:03:31,445 --> 01:03:34,980
my campaign skyrocketed
after all your support.
1142
01:03:34,982 --> 01:03:36,915
-I assume you're familiar with
the Goodyear fiasco.
1143
01:03:36,917 --> 01:03:38,850
-Of course.
1144
01:03:38,852 --> 01:03:40,886
The Left is trotting
out the Ledbetter woman like
1145
01:03:40,888 --> 01:03:42,454
she's some kind of martyr.
1146
01:03:42,456 --> 01:03:43,955
See, I don'tthink you need to worry about
1147
01:03:43,957 --> 01:03:46,425
her; she's just acranky old biddy.
1148
01:03:46,427 --> 01:03:50,295
Limiting pay liability is the
key to ensuring jobs remain in
1149
01:03:50,297 --> 01:03:51,963
this country.
1150
01:03:51,965 --> 01:03:53,899
- It's a slippery slope.- Yes, sir.
1151
01:03:53,901 --> 01:03:55,601
You wantthe big political career?
1152
01:03:55,603 --> 01:03:57,539
This is on you now.
1153
01:04:01,375 --> 01:04:02,742
It's good meeting
you, Congressman.
1154
01:04:21,128 --> 01:04:22,562
No, sorry.
1155
01:04:22,564 --> 01:04:23,995
The Congressman is
completely booked.
1156
01:04:23,997 --> 01:04:25,600
Perhaps next month.
1157
01:04:31,305 --> 01:04:33,472
-Excuse me, Congressman--
-Excuse me.
1158
01:04:51,091 --> 01:04:52,991
At least they listened!
1159
01:04:52,993 --> 01:04:53,992
Did they?
1160
01:05:06,173 --> 01:05:08,574
Giving folks
time to fight back.
1161
01:05:08,576 --> 01:05:10,610
You have a
compelling story, Lilly.
1162
01:05:10,612 --> 01:05:14,079
But I have to focus my efforts
on Alaska's priorities.
1163
01:05:14,081 --> 01:05:15,517
I'm sorry.
1164
01:05:16,049 --> 01:05:17,282
Senator Snowe!
1165
01:05:17,284 --> 01:05:19,017
Sorry, Jocelyn,
I've got a meeting.
1166
01:05:19,019 --> 01:05:21,052
Just want you to
meet Lilly Ledbetter.
1167
01:05:21,054 --> 01:05:23,155
Nice to meet you, Lilly.
1168
01:05:23,157 --> 01:05:25,323
I know about the
bill, it's a good idea,
1169
01:05:25,325 --> 01:05:27,159
and I'm always
advocating for women,
1170
01:05:27,161 --> 01:05:28,661
but there's a right
time for everything,
1171
01:05:28,663 --> 01:05:32,299
and, unfortunately,
this just isn't it for me.
1172
01:05:37,070 --> 01:05:38,372
C'mon.
1173
01:05:44,011 --> 01:05:45,711
Excuse me, Congressman.
1174
01:05:45,713 --> 01:05:48,480
I'm Lilly
Ledbetter from Alabama.
1175
01:05:48,482 --> 01:05:50,083
Yes.
1176
01:05:50,350 --> 01:05:51,551
Welcome, please.
1177
01:05:51,553 --> 01:05:53,218
Have a seat!
1178
01:05:53,220 --> 01:05:54,720
Thank you.
1179
01:05:54,722 --> 01:05:57,222
I-- I wanna talk to
you about something.
1180
01:05:57,224 --> 01:05:59,661
You know,
I'm sorry to say...
1181
01:06:01,061 --> 01:06:03,731
but you're being manipulated.
1182
01:06:04,298 --> 01:06:06,666
Well, that's hardly a way
to start a conversation.
1183
01:06:06,668 --> 01:06:09,470
They're using you!
1184
01:06:10,304 --> 01:06:12,538
This Liberal lobby,
they'll do anything,
1185
01:06:12,540 --> 01:06:14,640
ruin anyone's life
to make a point.
1186
01:06:14,642 --> 01:06:18,376
Employment equity affects
everybody no matter what party.
1187
01:06:18,378 --> 01:06:21,014
Your husband has cancer.
1188
01:06:21,315 --> 01:06:23,248
And yet, here you
are, in another city,
1189
01:06:23,250 --> 01:06:25,250
when you could be at home...
1190
01:06:25,252 --> 01:06:27,319
praying with him.
1191
01:06:27,321 --> 01:06:30,222
I mean, what's more important
than being the healing force
1192
01:06:30,224 --> 01:06:32,525
that only a wife could be
during such a trying time?
1193
01:06:32,527 --> 01:06:35,494
What about your vows?
1194
01:06:35,496 --> 01:06:38,533
"In sickness and in health?"
1195
01:06:41,603 --> 01:06:44,436
Yeah, they pump you up...
1196
01:06:44,438 --> 01:06:46,772
make you feel important.
1197
01:06:46,774 --> 01:06:50,141
But you're not one of
them, and you never will be.
1198
01:06:50,143 --> 01:06:52,712
You're a country girl who grew
up swimming in Doc Brewster's
1199
01:06:52,714 --> 01:06:55,315
pond!
1200
01:07:00,354 --> 01:07:02,087
That's right.
1201
01:07:02,089 --> 01:07:04,322
So I know how to
burn off a leech.
1202
01:08:11,358 --> 01:08:13,425
This hearing will
address proposed legislation
1203
01:08:13,427 --> 01:08:16,696
regarding the upcoming
vote on pay discrimination.
1204
01:08:16,698 --> 01:08:19,264
I now recognize Mr.
Mullen for five minutes.
1205
01:08:19,266 --> 01:08:22,267
Thank you, Mister Chairman and
members of the committee for
1206
01:08:22,269 --> 01:08:24,704
giving me the
opportunity to testify.
1207
01:08:24,706 --> 01:08:28,139
My name is Neil Mullen, and I
am here to testify on behalf
1208
01:08:28,141 --> 01:08:31,242
of the Chamber of Commerce
about proposed legislation to
1209
01:08:31,244 --> 01:08:34,513
reverse the Supreme Court
decision in Ledbetter v.
1210
01:08:34,515 --> 01:08:36,515
Goodyear Tire and Rubber.
1211
01:08:36,517 --> 01:08:39,652
Now, the rule emanating
from this decision is simple:
1212
01:08:39,654 --> 01:08:42,387
any employee that believes
that he or she has been
1213
01:08:42,389 --> 01:08:44,624
treated discriminatorily
by an employer,
1214
01:08:44,626 --> 01:08:46,826
that matter should
be raised internally,
1215
01:08:46,828 --> 01:08:48,561
and promptly.
1216
01:08:48,563 --> 01:08:52,197
For the good part of 19
years with the company,
1217
01:08:52,199 --> 01:08:54,199
Mrs. Ledbetter knew
about her lower salary--
1218
01:08:54,201 --> 01:08:55,333
That's a lie.
1219
01:08:57,437 --> 01:08:59,505
Mrs. Ledbetter, you'll
have your chance to speak.
1220
01:08:59,507 --> 01:09:01,306
You knew you were being
paid less than your male
1221
01:09:01,308 --> 01:09:05,143
counterparts years
before initiating your claim!
1222
01:09:05,145 --> 01:09:07,479
You waited to
retire before suing.
1223
01:09:07,481 --> 01:09:09,782
Mr. Mullen, do you really
believe I chose to work 20
1224
01:09:09,784 --> 01:09:11,917
years knowing I was being
cheated and discriminated
1225
01:09:11,919 --> 01:09:14,152
against, just so I
could wait to sue?
1226
01:09:14,154 --> 01:09:16,555
Does that make any
sense in this world, sir?!
1227
01:09:17,725 --> 01:09:20,728
Order!
1228
01:09:35,877 --> 01:09:37,576
No more.
1229
01:09:37,578 --> 01:09:38,880
No.
1230
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:48,621
I want you to know I'm not
going back to Washington.
1231
01:09:48,623 --> 01:09:49,789
It's just too much.
1232
01:09:49,791 --> 01:09:51,289
That's bullshit.
1233
01:09:52,827 --> 01:09:54,192
Hey!
1234
01:09:54,194 --> 01:09:56,729
- Hey.
- How're you feeling?
1235
01:09:56,731 --> 01:09:58,698
Oh, fine, just...
1236
01:09:58,700 --> 01:09:59,799
a little numb.
1237
01:09:59,801 --> 01:10:02,735
I'm afraid I
don't have the best news.
1238
01:10:02,737 --> 01:10:05,203
We found
evidence of metastasis.
1239
01:10:05,205 --> 01:10:08,509
Surgery is no
longer an option.
1240
01:10:13,681 --> 01:10:15,915
What am I lookin' at, Doc?
1241
01:10:15,917 --> 01:10:18,519
You know, time-wise?
1242
01:10:19,486 --> 01:10:20,820
It's hard to say.
1243
01:10:20,822 --> 01:10:22,790
Maybe a year.
1244
01:10:23,223 --> 01:10:25,258
Could be longer.
1245
01:10:25,927 --> 01:10:28,794
Try to enjoy
your time together.
1246
01:10:32,767 --> 01:10:35,266
-We'll talk next week, okay?
-Sure.
1247
01:10:35,268 --> 01:10:36,936
Thank you.
1248
01:10:48,381 --> 01:10:49,984
Hey.
1249
01:10:50,417 --> 01:10:51,751
Hey.
1250
01:10:51,753 --> 01:10:53,453
C'mere.
1251
01:10:55,923 --> 01:10:57,590
C'mon.
1252
01:11:06,299 --> 01:11:09,003
Now, listen to me.
1253
01:11:10,872 --> 01:11:15,508
You are not gonna stop
doing what you're doing.
1254
01:11:15,510 --> 01:11:17,576
You're going to
Washington tomorrow,
1255
01:11:17,578 --> 01:11:19,477
and you're gonna
raise all kinds of hell.
1256
01:11:20,782 --> 01:11:23,918
You'll get those votes.
1257
01:11:28,689 --> 01:11:30,758
I'm proud of you, babe.
1258
01:11:31,692 --> 01:11:34,028
You understand me?
1259
01:11:34,896 --> 01:11:37,865
I am so damn proud.
1260
01:11:42,302 --> 01:11:44,670
Here, inthe United States Senate,
1261
01:11:44,672 --> 01:11:47,472
our Republican
friends wanna say,
1262
01:11:47,474 --> 01:11:49,374
"Oh, no...
1263
01:11:49,376 --> 01:11:51,779
we're going to permit...
1264
01:11:52,013 --> 01:11:54,947
discrimination
against women...
1265
01:11:54,949 --> 01:11:59,051
because they didn't
have adequate notice...
1266
01:11:59,053 --> 01:12:01,954
that the discrimination
was taking place?!
1267
01:12:01,956 --> 01:12:05,390
Because the employer didn't
give 'em that notice when they
1268
01:12:05,392 --> 01:12:06,792
gave them a paycheck...
1269
01:12:06,794 --> 01:12:09,562
that was unequal to
their male counterparts!
1270
01:12:09,564 --> 01:12:13,732
The CBS poll on women say
the number-one issue that they
1271
01:12:13,734 --> 01:12:17,435
face is equal pay for
equal or comparable work!
1272
01:12:17,437 --> 01:12:20,105
If, in fact, this
is not a problem,
1273
01:12:20,107 --> 01:12:23,843
why does every woman in every
poll make this a number-one
1274
01:12:23,845 --> 01:12:25,010
issue?!
1275
01:12:25,012 --> 01:12:28,446
I ask that we make it a
number-one issue in the Senate!
1276
01:12:28,448 --> 01:12:30,649
If you work hard
and do a good job,
1277
01:12:30,651 --> 01:12:33,484
you should be rewarded no
matter what you look like,
1278
01:12:33,486 --> 01:12:36,354
where you come from,
or what gender you are.
1279
01:12:36,356 --> 01:12:37,823
That's what this
bill is about,
1280
01:12:37,825 --> 01:12:38,924
that's why I'm
supporting this bill,
1281
01:12:38,926 --> 01:12:42,027
and that's why I urge my
colleagues to do the same.
1282
01:12:42,029 --> 01:12:45,363
I'm hoping that this chamber
with stand up for fundamental
1283
01:12:45,365 --> 01:12:47,633
fairness for women
in the workplace.
1284
01:12:47,635 --> 01:12:50,569
I'm hoping you will
stand up and vote...
1285
01:12:50,571 --> 01:12:53,906
to make it clear that women
who get up every single day
1286
01:12:53,908 --> 01:12:57,743
and go to work deserve to be
paid equally to their male
1287
01:12:57,745 --> 01:12:58,811
counterparts.
1288
01:12:58,813 --> 01:13:00,746
That's all Lilly
Ledbetter wanted,
1289
01:13:00,748 --> 01:13:03,481
and that is what we
should deliver today.
1290
01:13:03,483 --> 01:13:05,786
Mr. Moran of Virginia...
1291
01:13:07,922 --> 01:13:10,723
Mr. Moran of
Virginia votes aye.
1292
01:13:10,725 --> 01:13:11,757
Mr. Boucher...
1293
01:13:11,759 --> 01:13:13,025
I've got an
assistant on the floor.
1294
01:13:13,027 --> 01:13:16,729
-We'll know any minute.
-Mr. Boucher votes aye.
1295
01:13:16,731 --> 01:13:18,931
Mr. Larsen of Washington.
1296
01:13:18,933 --> 01:13:22,069
Oh, there she is!
1297
01:13:24,705 --> 01:13:26,138
Okay, we just
need one more vote.
1298
01:13:26,140 --> 01:13:28,707
Ms.
Harman votes aye.
1299
01:13:28,709 --> 01:13:30,142
225!
1300
01:13:30,144 --> 01:13:31,510
- Yes!
- We got it!
1301
01:13:31,512 --> 01:13:32,578
Congratulations!
1302
01:13:33,848 --> 01:13:36,148
You made a big
impression, Lilly.
1303
01:13:36,150 --> 01:13:38,117
The bill is passed!
1304
01:13:38,119 --> 01:13:41,053
Without objection, the motion
to reconsider is laid on the
1305
01:13:41,055 --> 01:13:43,454
table!
1306
01:13:43,456 --> 01:13:44,790
Yeah?
1307
01:13:44,792 --> 01:13:45,724
Thank you.
1308
01:13:45,726 --> 01:13:48,160
Well, thank you.
1309
01:13:48,162 --> 01:13:49,828
You should be very proud.
Nice job.
1310
01:13:49,830 --> 01:13:51,498
Oh, boy...
1311
01:13:51,832 --> 01:13:53,968
Okay, thanks.
1312
01:13:56,170 --> 01:13:58,070
Bush is threatening to veto.
1313
01:13:58,072 --> 01:14:01,573
The Republican senators we
need won't vote against Bush
1314
01:14:01,575 --> 01:14:02,808
if he vetos the bill.
1315
01:14:02,810 --> 01:14:05,144
So after all that...
1316
01:14:05,146 --> 01:14:07,782
we're back to square one.
1317
01:14:09,016 --> 01:14:11,116
Today, the Fair
Pay Act was filibustered by
1318
01:14:11,118 --> 01:14:13,886
Republicans in the Senate in
response to President Bush's
1319
01:14:13,888 --> 01:14:15,654
threat to veto.
1320
01:14:15,656 --> 01:14:17,488
Although the bill had
passed in the House,
1321
01:14:17,490 --> 01:14:20,993
Republicans have killed it,
putting the future at risk--
1322
01:14:42,616 --> 01:14:45,184
The calcium carbonate in the
egg shell is the same as the
1323
01:14:45,186 --> 01:14:47,853
calcium carbonate in
some outdoor statues.
1324
01:14:47,855 --> 01:14:49,755
When vinegar reacts
with the egg shell,
1325
01:14:49,757 --> 01:14:52,992
it mimics the actions of
acid rain on these statues.
1326
01:14:52,994 --> 01:14:54,960
-Well done!
-That's great!
1327
01:14:57,732 --> 01:15:00,232
-I'm back.
-I spoke with Senator Mikulski.
1328
01:15:00,234 --> 01:15:03,002
She said she'll resurrect the
bill in the next session if
1329
01:15:03,004 --> 01:15:04,903
-the Democrats keep control!
-If.
1330
01:15:04,905 --> 01:15:06,138
I know it's hard
to see, Lilly,
1331
01:15:06,140 --> 01:15:09,541
but the momentum's building
on both sides of the aisle.
1332
01:15:09,543 --> 01:15:12,177
And Clinton and Obama are
each making fair pay a central
1333
01:15:12,179 --> 01:15:13,779
issue in their campaigns!
1334
01:15:13,781 --> 01:15:15,716
Go get that, will you, son?
1335
01:15:19,487 --> 01:15:20,988
Hi,
I'm here to see Mrs. Ledbetter.
1336
01:15:21,589 --> 01:15:23,791
Gram, it's for you!
1337
01:15:24,759 --> 01:15:26,594
Hold on a second.
1338
01:15:27,294 --> 01:15:29,196
Thank you, honey.
1339
01:15:29,897 --> 01:15:32,297
Ruby Lawrence from the
Obama campaign in Birmingham.
1340
01:15:32,299 --> 01:15:33,599
Oh!
1341
01:15:33,601 --> 01:15:34,700
-Hey!
-Mrs. Ledbetter!
1342
01:15:34,702 --> 01:15:35,868
I'm from Hillary
Clinton's campaign.
1343
01:15:35,870 --> 01:15:38,103
-She'd very much like--
-Senator Obama is eager to have
1344
01:15:38,105 --> 01:15:40,572
you join his campaign.
1345
01:15:40,574 --> 01:15:41,407
Uh...
1346
01:15:41,409 --> 01:15:43,208
just a moment,
give me a moment.
1347
01:15:43,210 --> 01:15:44,610
-Yes, ma'am!
-Yes, ma'am.
1348
01:15:47,314 --> 01:15:51,316
Obama and Clinton
people are here at my door,
1349
01:15:51,318 --> 01:15:52,818
asking for my help.
1350
01:15:52,820 --> 01:15:54,653
Do I have to choose now?
1351
01:15:54,655 --> 01:15:55,821
No!
1352
01:15:55,823 --> 01:15:57,990
Campaign for both if you like!
1353
01:15:59,126 --> 01:16:01,560
Because Hillary
Clinton knows that these are
1354
01:16:01,562 --> 01:16:04,797
not women's issues,
they're family issues,
1355
01:16:04,799 --> 01:16:07,266
and that women's
rights are human rights,
1356
01:16:07,268 --> 01:16:10,736
and this fight is for
all women everywhere.
1357
01:16:11,872 --> 01:16:15,107
The equal pay for equal
work law has been around for
1358
01:16:15,109 --> 01:16:16,642
40-plus years.
1359
01:16:16,644 --> 01:16:18,243
It's not being enforced.
1360
01:16:18,245 --> 01:16:20,245
And a lot of women are
discriminated against
1361
01:16:20,247 --> 01:16:21,680
in the workplace.
1362
01:16:21,682 --> 01:16:24,183
Women are still being fired
in American jobs for getting
1363
01:16:24,185 --> 01:16:27,820
pregnant -- something that we
thought had ended decades ago.
1364
01:16:27,822 --> 01:16:30,923
Women earn far less than
men, are passed over for
1365
01:16:30,925 --> 01:16:33,926
promotions, and
harassed at work.
1366
01:16:33,928 --> 01:16:36,328
Barack Obama's gonna do
something about that.
1367
01:16:36,330 --> 01:16:37,696
Won't stop acid rain.
1368
01:16:39,033 --> 01:16:42,367
And now is the timeto keep the promise of equal
1369
01:16:42,369 --> 01:16:46,305
pay for an equal day's work,
because I want my daughters to
1370
01:16:46,307 --> 01:16:50,075
have the exact same
opportunities as your sons!
1371
01:16:50,077 --> 01:16:52,077
With yesterday's
victory in the Montana
1372
01:16:52,079 --> 01:16:55,080
primary, Senator Obama
will secure the Democratic
1373
01:16:55,082 --> 01:16:56,381
nomination.
1374
01:16:56,383 --> 01:16:59,818
Senator Clinton is expected to
formally end her candidacy and
1375
01:16:59,820 --> 01:17:02,721
endorse Obama, making him the
party's presumptive nominee...
1376
01:17:02,723 --> 01:17:03,856
I hate leaving you.
1377
01:17:03,858 --> 01:17:05,891
Oh, you'll be back tonight.
1378
01:17:05,893 --> 01:17:09,161
Well, I'd feel better if
Vicky weren't out of town.
1379
01:17:09,163 --> 01:17:10,395
Oh, quit fussin'!
1380
01:17:10,397 --> 01:17:13,067
I'll be fine, I'll be fine.
1381
01:17:16,737 --> 01:17:18,637
I wish you could come.
1382
01:17:18,639 --> 01:17:22,643
What, deprive myself of
seeing my wife on TV?
1383
01:17:23,344 --> 01:17:26,979
My very own movie
star, that's what you are.
1384
01:17:43,697 --> 01:17:45,063
Your Goodyearplaintiff's gonna be speaking
1385
01:17:45,065 --> 01:17:47,065
at the Democratic Convention.
1386
01:17:47,067 --> 01:17:49,136
You were supposedto wrap that up.
1387
01:17:50,371 --> 01:17:51,970
She is?
I-- I tried, but she--
1388
01:17:51,972 --> 01:17:54,708
You wanted support
for your campaign?
1389
01:17:56,310 --> 01:17:58,245
For your office?
1390
01:17:59,947 --> 01:18:01,980
That's earned when
you get things done.
1391
01:18:04,018 --> 01:18:05,083
Not for trying.
1392
01:18:13,194 --> 01:18:14,459
We're done here.
1393
01:18:46,126 --> 01:18:47,459
Good evening.
1394
01:18:47,461 --> 01:18:50,028
I'm here to talk about
America's commitment to
1395
01:18:50,030 --> 01:18:51,396
fairness...
1396
01:18:51,398 --> 01:18:53,265
and equality.
1397
01:18:53,267 --> 01:18:55,834
Equal pay for equal work.
1398
01:18:55,836 --> 01:18:58,003
Equal pay for equal work.
1399
01:18:58,005 --> 01:19:01,106
Equal pay for equal work.
1400
01:19:01,108 --> 01:19:04,243
Equal pay
for equal work.
1401
01:19:11,519 --> 01:19:13,785
With all of us
working together,
1402
01:19:13,787 --> 01:19:15,887
we can have the
change we need,
1403
01:19:15,889 --> 01:19:18,957
and the
opportunity we deserve.
1404
01:19:36,544 --> 01:19:38,312
Charles?!
1405
01:19:48,289 --> 01:19:50,322
Oh, God...
1406
01:19:50,324 --> 01:19:52,426
Oh, God...
1407
01:19:53,260 --> 01:19:55,160
Oh, God...
1408
01:20:08,309 --> 01:20:10,576
You have meant so much to him.
1409
01:20:10,578 --> 01:20:12,313
Thank you.
1410
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:16,216
Thank you so much
for making the drive.
1411
01:20:17,284 --> 01:20:18,850
Thank you.
1412
01:20:18,852 --> 01:20:20,854
-Nice to see y'all.
-Thank you both.
1413
01:20:38,939 --> 01:20:41,306
Phil?
Please don't go.
1414
01:20:41,308 --> 01:20:43,545
I wanna talk to you.
1415
01:20:44,345 --> 01:20:46,980
It's been so long.
1416
01:20:48,082 --> 01:20:50,017
My God...
1417
01:20:51,352 --> 01:20:53,118
Look at you.
1418
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:55,253
I came to say
goodbye to my father.
1419
01:20:55,255 --> 01:20:56,855
He loved you so much.
1420
01:20:56,857 --> 01:20:58,959
He loved you.
1421
01:21:00,060 --> 01:21:01,895
Always.
1422
01:21:06,500 --> 01:21:09,169
I wanted more for us.
1423
01:21:09,870 --> 01:21:14,306
Figured a nice house and a
couple of cars would make me
1424
01:21:14,308 --> 01:21:16,576
count for something.
1425
01:21:16,578 --> 01:21:19,545
I wanted to prove I was
more than that scrawny kid,
1426
01:21:19,547 --> 01:21:23,083
more than that
nothin' Edna said I'd be.
1427
01:21:24,652 --> 01:21:27,986
But that job ate me up.
1428
01:21:27,988 --> 01:21:32,991
It trapped me in
anger and frustration,
1429
01:21:32,993 --> 01:21:35,394
and I guess I thought...
1430
01:21:35,396 --> 01:21:40,132
being the first one in and the
last one out of the factory
1431
01:21:40,134 --> 01:21:42,434
would prove that
I was the best.
1432
01:21:42,436 --> 01:21:47,307
No matter what I
did, it didn't matter.
1433
01:21:49,376 --> 01:21:52,010
I didn't know any of that,
1434
01:21:52,012 --> 01:21:54,948
what you were going
through all that time.
1435
01:21:56,250 --> 01:21:58,919
You were so hard on me.
1436
01:22:04,425 --> 01:22:06,293
I know.
1437
01:22:08,630 --> 01:22:11,932
But you're my
beautiful boy, Phil.
1438
01:22:14,401 --> 01:22:17,335
Can we start fresh?
1439
01:22:17,337 --> 01:22:19,339
Will you?
1440
01:22:30,217 --> 01:22:31,684
C'mere, Grace.
1441
01:22:40,427 --> 01:22:42,496
Hey, Gracie.
1442
01:22:43,063 --> 01:22:44,465
Hey...
1443
01:22:45,032 --> 01:22:47,301
This is your grandma.
1444
01:22:47,569 --> 01:22:49,369
Grace...
1445
01:22:53,340 --> 01:22:54,975
Grace.
1446
01:22:55,610 --> 01:22:57,409
Hello.
1447
01:22:57,411 --> 01:22:59,311
Hello.
1448
01:23:08,388 --> 01:23:10,355
And will,
to the best of my ability...
1449
01:23:10,357 --> 01:23:11,757
And will, to the
best of my ability...
1450
01:23:11,759 --> 01:23:13,091
Preserve, protect,
1451
01:23:13,093 --> 01:23:16,061
and defend the Constitution
of the United States.
1452
01:23:16,063 --> 01:23:17,195
Preserve, protect,
1453
01:23:17,197 --> 01:23:19,097
and defend the Constitution
of the United States.
1454
01:23:19,099 --> 01:23:20,065
So help you God.
1455
01:23:20,067 --> 01:23:20,967
-So help me God.
1456
01:23:20,969 --> 01:23:22,501
- Congratulations,
Mister President.
1457
01:23:22,503 --> 01:23:26,273
All the best wishes.
1458
01:23:33,146 --> 01:23:34,179
Mama!
1459
01:23:34,181 --> 01:23:36,147
Someone's here to see you!
1460
01:23:38,018 --> 01:23:40,620
What are
you doing here?
1461
01:23:40,622 --> 01:23:43,154
It's so good to see you!
1462
01:23:43,156 --> 01:23:44,724
Aw, Lilly...
1463
01:23:44,726 --> 01:23:47,327
Wonderful to see you.
1464
01:23:48,495 --> 01:23:51,599
C'mon, sit down!
C'mon.
1465
01:23:54,669 --> 01:23:57,269
Lilly, you
have go to come and visit!
1466
01:23:57,271 --> 01:23:59,705
Washington is a whole new
place since the election!
1467
01:23:59,707 --> 01:24:01,306
I can feel it from here.
1468
01:24:01,308 --> 01:24:03,509
I had a
meeting over in Birmingham,
1469
01:24:03,511 --> 01:24:06,346
so I thought I'd
bring this over myself.
1470
01:24:13,287 --> 01:24:14,419
Oh!
1471
01:24:14,421 --> 01:24:15,788
Mama!
1472
01:24:15,790 --> 01:24:18,058
You look so beautiful!
1473
01:24:18,526 --> 01:24:21,092
He told me he was
nervous to dance with me.
1474
01:24:21,094 --> 01:24:24,830
Heard I'd meddled
in waltz and foxtrot.
1475
01:24:24,832 --> 01:24:26,298
He's a good dancer.
1476
01:24:26,300 --> 01:24:28,670
Nice, open carriage.
1477
01:24:31,171 --> 01:24:33,204
But when he told me...
1478
01:24:33,206 --> 01:24:35,843
he was naming the
bill after me...
1479
01:24:40,247 --> 01:24:42,515
We've got the votes in
the House this time,
1480
01:24:42,517 --> 01:24:44,750
but the Senate's
another story,
1481
01:24:44,752 --> 01:24:47,620
especially if the business
lobby scores the vote.
1482
01:24:47,622 --> 01:24:48,621
What's that mean?
1483
01:24:48,623 --> 01:24:49,855
It's like a report card.
1484
01:24:49,857 --> 01:24:52,257
The folks who finance the
candidates use it to keep the
1485
01:24:52,259 --> 01:24:53,358
legislators in line.
1486
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,695
You get a bad grade, you
don't get funding for your
1487
01:24:55,697 --> 01:24:57,128
reelection.
1488
01:24:57,130 --> 01:24:58,463
That's disgusting!
1489
01:24:58,465 --> 01:25:01,333
If they do,
that's it, we're done.
1490
01:25:01,335 --> 01:25:03,368
There won't be
any Fair Pay Act.
1491
01:25:03,370 --> 01:25:06,239
So, you're asking
me to come back?
1492
01:25:08,308 --> 01:25:10,776
Meeting in Birmingham, my ass!
1493
01:25:22,590 --> 01:25:24,189
Mrs. Ledbetter, I
have a meeting.
1494
01:25:24,191 --> 01:25:27,425
-It-- it'll just be a minute.
-I'm listening.
1495
01:25:27,427 --> 01:25:30,428
I understand everything you
do is to bolster the American
1496
01:25:30,430 --> 01:25:33,131
economy, and--
and I respect that.
1497
01:25:33,133 --> 01:25:35,500
But women aren't the
enemy of the economy,
1498
01:25:35,502 --> 01:25:37,268
we're the backbone!
1499
01:25:37,270 --> 01:25:38,370
I've seen your stump speech.
1500
01:25:38,372 --> 01:25:39,872
And I've seen the polling.
1501
01:25:39,874 --> 01:25:41,206
Don't score the vote.
1502
01:25:41,208 --> 01:25:43,308
You'll be making a
strategic error.
1503
01:25:43,310 --> 01:25:48,315
All women want equality, not
just women from one party!
1504
01:25:48,482 --> 01:25:52,752
You can't afford to lose
51 percent of your voters.
1505
01:25:52,754 --> 01:25:54,053
I'm not so sure
those numbers--
1506
01:25:54,055 --> 01:25:58,323
There are Republican senators
who want to support this bill.
1507
01:25:58,325 --> 01:26:01,863
Do you want their seats
to be collateral damage?
1508
01:26:03,430 --> 01:26:05,833
Think about the future.
1509
01:26:07,669 --> 01:26:10,571
Thank you for your time.
1510
01:26:21,949 --> 01:26:26,284
On this vote, the yeas
are 61, the nays are 36.
1511
01:26:26,286 --> 01:26:28,654
Under the previous order,
three fifths of the senators
1512
01:26:28,656 --> 01:26:31,957
duly chosen and sworn having
voted in the affirmative,
1513
01:26:31,959 --> 01:26:33,793
the bill is passed.
1514
01:26:33,795 --> 01:26:36,729
Today is a great day
in the United States Senate.
1515
01:27:07,762 --> 01:27:09,394
Would you like a refill?
1516
01:27:09,396 --> 01:27:10,428
Oh, no, thank you.
1517
01:27:10,430 --> 01:27:12,432
-Just a check, please.
-Sure.
1518
01:27:14,267 --> 01:27:17,803
Anyone who meets Lilly can't
help but be impressed by her
1519
01:27:17,805 --> 01:27:20,806
commitment, her
dedication, her focus.
1520
01:27:20,808 --> 01:27:23,642
She knewunfairness when she saw it,
1521
01:27:23,644 --> 01:27:26,344
and was willing to dosomething about it,
1522
01:27:26,346 --> 01:27:28,616
because it was the
right thing to do.
1523
01:27:47,434 --> 01:27:49,637
Andit is my honor...
1524
01:27:50,571 --> 01:27:53,506
to introduce this
extraordinary woman,
1525
01:27:53,508 --> 01:27:56,909
whose hard work has broughtus here today for this very
1526
01:27:56,911 --> 01:28:00,478
special occasion, and who hasbeen an inspiration to women
1527
01:28:00,480 --> 01:28:03,749
and men all
across this country.
1528
01:28:05,485 --> 01:28:06,886
Breakfast is on us, ma'am.
1529
01:28:06,888 --> 01:28:07,820
Thank you.
1530
01:28:07,822 --> 01:28:10,488
Ladies and
gentlemen, Lilly Ledbetter.
