ADP Statement on the Passing of Lilly Ledbetter

Lilly Ledbetter Was An Icon Of Womens’ Rights And Equal Pay In America.

A Lifelong Alabamian, Her Discovery Of Making Less Than Her Male Counterparts In A Gadsden Goodyear Plant Began A Years-Long Legal Battle That Travelled All The Way To The Supreme Court And Led To The Passing Of The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, The First Bill Signed By President Obama, And Advancing The Cause Of Women Receiving Equal Pay For Equal Work.

The Alabama Democratic Party Offers Our Sincerest Condolences To Ms. Ledbetter’s Family, Friends And Other Loved Ones.
