In another labor victory, particularly for women who have faced pay discrimination with little recourse, among the first bills passed by the House last week were the Paycheck Fairness Act and the Lilly Leadbetter Fair Pay Act that closed the loopholes in a recent USSC decision that affirmed that discrimination suits had to be filed within 90 day of the alleged act (too bad if a woman was the subject of pay discrimination for years but didnt find out until the 91st day after the last "unfair" paycheck.

Equal Pay Bills Pass House -- Courant.com

Senate passage is expected as is Obama's signature.
