00:17:38,375 --> 00:17:41,291
Why was I not in that meeting?
351
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,458
Percy…
352
00:17:44,625 --> 00:17:48,458
Well, Lilly, the penalty
on your demotion is back to
353
00:17:48,541 --> 00:17:51,583
- working the floor.
- I'm contesting the demotion!
354
00:17:51,666 --> 00:17:53,916
I'm still a supervisor!
355
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,333
Has he even finished training?
356
00:17:56,416 --> 00:17:57,458
[Percy] Lilly…
357
00:17:57,541 --> 00:17:59,708
you need to calm down.
358
00:17:59,791 --> 00:18:04,375
[tense music]
359
00:18:04,458 --> 00:18:07,916
{\an8}[Lilly] Sometimes, in
life, you hit a turning point,
360
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,125
{\an8}and that was it for me.
361
00:18:17,291 --> 00:18:18,750
I can't take it anymore.
362
00:18:18,833 --> 00:18:20,750
Every day, it's something.
363
00:18:20,833 --> 00:18:22,958
How long have you worked there?
364
00:18:23,041 --> 00:18:25,833
Just shy of 20 years.
365
00:18:28,125 --> 00:18:29,750
Have you complained?
366
00:18:29,833 --> 00:18:31,625
Every time I did, I'd get demoted.
367
00:18:31,708 --> 00:18:35,250
They told me I could move up
if I'd meet 'em at the Ramada.
368
00:18:35,333 --> 00:18:38,041
A woman ain't worth
nothin' if she don't put out.
369
00:18:38,125 --> 00:18:41,125
Maybe in law school,
they don't pull that crap.
370
00:18:41,208 --> 00:18:44,166
Men are the same
everywhere, Mrs. Ledbetter.
371
00:18:45,833 --> 00:18:49,458
[Lilly] At first, it was just…shenanigans,
372
00:18:49,541 --> 00:18:52,125
teasing, getting touched
whenever they felt like it.
373
00:18:52,208 --> 00:18:54,708
Schoolboy nonsense, really.
374
00:18:54,791 --> 00:18:56,125
But then, it was…
375
00:18:56,208 --> 00:18:58,583
"You took a man's job."
376
00:18:59,708 --> 00:19:03,541
I had my tires slashes,
my windshield busted,
377
00:19:03,625 --> 00:19:05,916
tobacco juice poured all over my car.
378
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,125
It was a free-for-all, and
everybody is related to some
379
00:19:10,208 --> 00:19:12,166
uncle or cousin, if you complain,
380
00:19:12,250 --> 00:19:13,541
they just say…
381
00:19:13,625 --> 00:19:15,875
"We don't mess with kin."
382
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:18,875
Shouldn't a company be
responsible for how their
383
00:19:18,958 --> 00:19:20,666
people act?
384
00:19:21,333 --> 00:19:24,000
Violations are hard to prove.
385
00:19:26,708 --> 00:19:28,625
[Justice Ginsburg VO] This pedestal…
386
00:19:28,708 --> 00:19:31,958
that many of us have thought women are on,
387
00:19:32,041 --> 00:19:33,958
in reality…
388
00:19:34,041 --> 00:19:37,125
too often turns out to be a cage.
389
00:19:37,208 --> 00:19:39,583
Uh, Mrs. Ledbetter, this is Mike Quinn.
390
00:19:39,666 --> 00:19:43,666
His name is on the door and he's
gonna ask you some questions.
391
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:45,833
Mrs. Ledbetter, thank you for coming in.
392
00:19:45,916 --> 00:19:46,916
Nice meetin' you.
393
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,791
I'm sorry for what you've
been going through, ma'am!
394
00:19:49,875 --> 00:19:50,916
[sighs]
395
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,125
I guess my first question is, uh…
396
00:19:53,208 --> 00:19:55,958
do you think you might've been
singled out for some reason?
397
00:19:56,041 --> 00:19:58,833
You mean 'cause I'm
smarter than the lot of 'em?
398
00:19:58,916 --> 00:20:00,708
- [chuckles]
- [Lilly] Most of 'em barely read.
399
00:20:00,791 --> 00:20:02,083
What about other women?
400
00:20:02,166 --> 00:20:04,291
Do you think that they
had similar experiences?
401
00:20:04,375 --> 00:20:06,291
Most girls can't stomach the floor,
402
00:20:06,375 --> 00:20:08,750
or have the training to be area managers,
403
00:20:08,833 --> 00:20:11,291
engineer techs, or supervisors.
404
00:20:11,375 --> 00:20:15,375
I don't understand why you
stayed under such miserable
405
00:20:15,458 --> 00:20:17,166
circumstances.
406
00:20:17,250 --> 00:20:18,708
Why?
407
00:20:19,625 --> 00:20:21,833
A supervisor position at Goodyear was the
408
00:20:21,916 --> 00:20:26,125
highest-paying job in the county, by far!
409
00:20:26,208 --> 00:20:29,166
That's-- that's new shoes for
my kids and more than fried
410
00:20:29,250 --> 00:20:30,375
bologna for dinner!
411
00:20:30,458 --> 00:20:33,875
Certainly, no amount of
money is worth your health and
412
00:20:33,958 --> 00:20:35,500
safety!
413
00:20:36,125 --> 00:20:40,208
I haven't had the privilege
to see it that way, Mr. Quinn.
414
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,583
When our son was little, he
had ear infections all the
415
00:20:45,666 --> 00:20:50,708
time, but we couldn't afford the
operation to put the tubes in.
416
00:20:50,791 --> 00:20:54,375
So, the doctor, he
suggested I get into a program
417
00:20:54,458 --> 00:20:57,083
where women were being paid
418
00:20:57,166 --> 00:20:59,833
to let surgeons practice on 'em.
419
00:21:02,541 --> 00:21:03,666
Hysterectomies.
420
00:21:06,416 --> 00:21:09,708
He said I should have my
uterus and ovaries removed
421
00:21:09,791 --> 00:21:11,875
to pay for the ears.
422
00:21:14,583 --> 00:21:18,375
Believe me, I thought about it.
423
00:21:24,041 --> 00:21:25,416
I'm a hard-worker.
424
00:21:26,291 --> 00:21:28,083
That's just who I am.
425
00:21:29,416 --> 00:21:31,750
So, what do you think, do I have a case?
426
00:21:32,416 --> 00:21:35,541
I would love to whoop Goodyear's ass.
427
00:21:35,625 --> 00:21:39,791
But we need to get 'em
on environmental negligence
428
00:21:39,875 --> 00:21:43,458
or patent violations,
or wage and hour class action,
429
00:21:43,541 --> 00:21:44,750
something with teeth.
430
00:21:44,833 --> 00:21:47,875
But they have government contracts,
don't they have to do things right?
431
00:21:47,958 --> 00:21:50,333
There's no federal law
that mandates compliance.
432
00:21:50,416 --> 00:21:53,750
Your workers were protected,
but only because of their union.
433
00:21:53,833 --> 00:21:55,708
Supervisors don't have any protection.
434
00:21:55,791 --> 00:21:59,666
From a legal standpoint,
there's nothing we can do.
435
00:21:59,750 --> 00:22:03,666
Without a doubt,
your treatment was an abomination.
436
00:22:03,750 --> 00:22:05,916
Mrs. Ledbetter, I'm sorry.
437
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,041
It was very nice meeting you.
438
00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:16,208
Good luck.
439
00:22:20,750 --> 00:22:22,375
[Goldfarb] Thank you for coming in.
440
00:22:25,541 --> 00:22:28,000
- Can I…
- No.
441
00:22:28,083 --> 00:22:33,041
[somber music plays]
442
00:22:33,750 --> 00:22:35,750
[Goldfarb clears throat]
443
00:22:37,166 --> 00:22:39,791
My employer treated me
like a second-class citizen
444
00:22:39,875 --> 00:22:41,291
because I'm a woman.
445
00:22:41,375 --> 00:22:43,166
I gave them 20 years.
446
00:22:43,250 --> 00:22:46,000
You think they should
get away with how they treated me?
447
00:22:46,083 --> 00:22:49,416
No. No, I do not.
448
00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:52,666
Look, we take these cases
on a contingency basis,
449
00:22:52,750 --> 00:22:56,708
so your complaint has to
fit into a very specific violation
450
00:22:56,791 --> 00:22:59,000
or else there's just not
enough of a guarantee,
451
00:22:59,083 --> 00:23:01,958
and we don't get paid unless we win.
452
00:23:02,458 --> 00:23:06,125
But if you can find me some evidence,
453
00:23:06,208 --> 00:23:10,833
something specific, I need
substantiation to build you a case.
454
00:23:11,791 --> 00:23:13,125
Okay?
455
00:23:14,750 --> 00:23:17,916
It was a real pleasure to meet you.
456
00:23:18,583 --> 00:23:21,083
[hopeful music plays]
457
00:23:21,750 --> 00:23:23,416
Can I help you down the stairs?
458
00:23:29,833 --> 00:23:35,041
[cacophony]
459
00:23:38,166 --> 00:23:39,791
- Hey, Lilly!
- [Lilly] Hey.
460
00:23:40,291 --> 00:23:41,333
Shoot…
461
00:23:41,416 --> 00:23:42,333
Lilly…
462
00:23:42,416 --> 00:23:43,583
I'm running late to a meeting.
463
00:23:43,666 --> 00:23:46,250
Do you mind putting this on
Mr. Dawkins' desk for me?
464
00:23:46,333 --> 00:23:47,750
- Sure.
- Thanks, hon.
465
00:23:47,833 --> 00:23:49,750
- Take care.
- Thank you.
466
00:23:49,833 --> 00:23:54,791
[soft suspenseful music]
467
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,416
[groans softly]
468
00:25:04,083 --> 00:25:09,041
[soft curious music]
469
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,250
[softly] My God…
470
00:25:37,041 --> 00:25:38,458
Stealing company property!
471
00:25:38,541 --> 00:25:40,125
You're really something.
472
00:25:40,208 --> 00:25:41,875
What you got in there, huh?
473
00:25:42,666 --> 00:25:44,500
You don't have the right!
474
00:25:44,583 --> 00:25:49,125
[soft tense music]
475
00:25:49,208 --> 00:25:51,083
[man] Tell you what…
476
00:25:51,166 --> 00:25:53,541
I'm gonna give you a choice.
477
00:25:53,625 --> 00:25:58,125
We press charges, or you sign
the buyout of your contract.
478
00:25:58,208 --> 00:26:00,333
Either way, you're
getting outta here for good.
479
00:26:08,375 --> 00:26:10,541
He'll escort you to your car.
480
00:26:13,250 --> 00:26:14,791
[man] Come on.
481
00:26:21,625 --> 00:26:23,000
[man] Hey, what do you think you're doing?
482
00:26:23,083 --> 00:26:24,291
- [man] Stop right there!
- [Lilly] I gotta get my things.
483
00:26:24,375 --> 00:26:26,000
[man] We will ship it all to your house!
484
00:26:26,083 --> 00:26:27,166
It's my stuff.
485
00:26:27,250 --> 00:26:29,500
It's-- it's my kids' things.
486
00:26:29,583 --> 00:26:31,291
That's all I want.
487
00:26:31,375 --> 00:26:32,708
Get out.
488
00:26:46,041 --> 00:26:48,291
I'll send you that buyout!
489
00:26:48,375 --> 00:26:51,125
I suggest you sign it right away!
490
00:26:54,208 --> 00:26:56,541
All right, let's get back
to work! The show's over!
491
00:26:59,458 --> 00:27:01,208
Now, the way I see it,
we've got four causes for
492
00:27:01,291 --> 00:27:02,833
- litigation.
- Great.
493
00:27:02,916 --> 00:27:05,875
One is equal pay -- willful
actions they took with wages
494
00:27:05,958 --> 00:27:08,458
transfers, promotions,
raises, evaluations.
495
00:27:08,541 --> 00:27:10,333
That note that you gave us
gives us a hell of a lot of
496
00:27:10,416 --> 00:27:12,708
- ammunition.
- Well, they cheated me. -Mm-hm.
497
00:27:12,791 --> 00:27:15,416
Two is Title VII for disparate treatment,
498
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:18,166
three is working in a
hostile work environment,
499
00:27:18,250 --> 00:27:20,708
and four is age discrimination,
she was replaced by a kid
500
00:27:20,791 --> 00:27:22,916
- in, what, his 20s?
- That's right.
501
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,166
Title VII cases have caps on damages.
502
00:27:26,250 --> 00:27:28,416
This is never gonna be a big payday.
503
00:27:28,500 --> 00:27:30,500
You think I'm doing this for the money?
504
00:27:30,583 --> 00:27:34,333
But this is not clear-cut,
with limited upside and…
505
00:27:34,416 --> 00:27:36,458
you're looking to make partner!
506
00:27:37,166 --> 00:27:39,291
I'ma trust my gut.
507
00:27:40,083 --> 00:27:43,083
[inhales deeply]
508
00:27:44,208 --> 00:27:45,250
Okay, then.
509
00:27:45,333 --> 00:27:47,291
Good luck!
510
00:27:47,375 --> 00:27:48,791
Okay!
511
00:27:50,375 --> 00:27:51,541
Well…
512
00:27:52,708 --> 00:27:55,041
here we go.
513
00:27:57,708 --> 00:28:01,083
[Lilly groans softly]
514
00:28:01,166 --> 00:28:02,916
- That looks good!
- [sighs]
515
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,416
How do you feel?
516
00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:06,250
[chuckles]
517
00:28:06,333 --> 00:28:08,583
Oh, like-- like the Tin Man.
518
00:28:09,916 --> 00:28:11,583
You ready for regionals?
519
00:28:11,666 --> 00:28:15,125
I would trade a thousand
regionals for the chance to
520
00:28:15,208 --> 00:28:17,000
beat Goodyear.
521
00:28:17,083 --> 00:28:19,125
But they warned me
that it could take years.
522
00:28:19,208 --> 00:28:20,583
Are you sure you're up for this?
523
00:28:20,666 --> 00:28:22,666
The lawyers want me in
Birmingham in the morning
524
00:28:22,750 --> 00:28:25,041
- but--

No, no, nothing like that, no.

- [Lilly] Thank you.
- [Goldfarb] Thank you.
541
00:29:09,541 --> 00:29:11,083
I just, uh…
542
00:29:11,166 --> 00:29:12,500
I wanted to take the
opportunity to talk to you
543
00:29:12,583 --> 00:29:14,291
about the trial.
544
00:29:14,375 --> 00:29:17,500
Um, trials are rough stuff.
545
00:29:18,791 --> 00:29:22,208
Opposing counsel's gonna
put you through the wringer,
546
00:29:22,291 --> 00:29:25,291
and I want you to be ready for that.
547
00:29:28,416 --> 00:29:31,708
I grew up with no
electricity, no plumbing,
548
00:29:31,791 --> 00:29:35,041
stepped over snakes on
the way to the outhouse.
549
00:29:36,166 --> 00:29:40,791
My grandpa was a mean drunk,
and beat my mama up regular.
550
00:29:42,791 --> 00:29:47,083
And though she never told me,
she loved me my whole life.
551
00:29:49,291 --> 00:29:51,916
When he came after me one night,
552
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,166
she held a knife to his throat,
553
00:29:54,250 --> 00:29:56,500
so I know a thing or
two about rough stuff,
554
00:29:56,583 --> 00:29:58,416
Mr. Goldfarb.
555
00:30:10,833 --> 00:30:12,125
What's this?
556
00:30:12,208 --> 00:30:14,416
That is due diligence.
557
00:30:15,750 --> 00:30:18,916
The court needs to see Lilly
Ledbetter as more than just a
558
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,916
factory manager,
although I do have to say,
559
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,625
Lilly Ledbetter, the
cheerleader and ballroom
560
00:30:23,708 --> 00:30:26,333

561
00:30:26,416 --> 00:30:27,916
[Lilly] Mm.
562
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,166

563
00:30:29,250 --> 00:30:30,083
Oh, Lord…
564
00:30:30,166 --> 00:30:31,916
[both chuckle]
565
00:30:33,916 --> 00:30:37,666
I wanted that uniform so bad,
but my mother saw the world
566
00:30:37,750 --> 00:30:41,000
another way -- said I
wasn't the cheerleader type.
567
00:30:41,625 --> 00:30:43,666
I baked up a storm,
568
00:30:43,750 --> 00:30:46,208
sold cakes at church --
it was Charles' idea.
569
00:30:46,291 --> 00:30:48,083
I got that uniform.
570
00:30:49,791 --> 00:30:51,833
We were married…
571
00:30:52,708 --> 00:30:54,666
several months later.
572
00:30:55,208 --> 00:30:56,666
Is she still with us?

- Edna?
- [Goldfarb] Mm.
574
00:30:58,500 --> 00:31:00,333
Lost her some time back.
575
00:31:00,416 --> 00:31:02,083
Mm.
576
00:31:02,166 --> 00:31:06,375
She was like a dog who'd
been kicked around too much.
577
00:31:08,250 --> 00:31:10,958
It doesn't make the dog bad.
578
00:31:11,041 --> 00:31:16,250
She wanted me prepared for
the world the way she saw it.
579
00:31:16,916 --> 00:31:18,875
Made me who I am.
580
00:31:18,958 --> 00:31:20,791
I'm grateful.
581
00:31:22,500 --> 00:31:24,041
Uh…
582
00:31:24,125 --> 00:31:27,750
we need to talk about you
getting me some witnesses,
583
00:31:27,833 --> 00:31:30,833
Folks who are gonna be willing
to testify on your behalf,
584

counter Goodyear's claims.
585
00:31:33,041 --> 00:31:35,458
That is gonna be very crucial to our case.
586
00:31:35,541 --> 00:31:37,250
Now, uh…
587
00:31:37,333 --> 00:31:42,333
I suggest the crying
tiger tofu if you like spicy,
588
00:31:42,833 --> 00:31:44,458
which I do.

What are you doing here?
592
00:31:57,583 --> 00:32:01,000
I need somebody to tell the truth.
593

Please!

I do.

598
00:32:15,333 --> 00:32:17,375
I can't jeopardize that!
599
00:32:18,333 --> 00:32:19,833
I won't.

[soft suspenseful music]
601
00:32:52,083 --> 00:32:54,500
[Goldfarb VO] Mrs. Ledbetter, folks…
602
00:32:54,583 --> 00:32:57,291
let's look at exhibit one:
603
00:32:57,375 --> 00:33:02,291
area manager base salary comparison chart.
604
00:33:02,375 --> 00:33:03,500
Now…
605
00:33:03,583 --> 00:33:05,750
what does that mean to you?
606
00:33:05,833 --> 00:33:07,291
Well, that's my income last year,
607
00:33:07,375 --> 00:33:10,416
along with all the other
supervisors' salaries.
608
00:33:10,500 --> 00:33:14,375
But… [sighs] we had no way of
knowing what anybody was making.
609
00:33:14,458 --> 00:33:15,708
[Goldfarb] And why is that?
610
00:33:15,791 --> 00:33:18,125
Well, the first thing you had
to do when you were hired was
611
00:33:18,208 --> 00:33:20,708
sign non-disclosure agreements.
612
00:33:20,791 --> 00:33:22,250
If you talked about what you earned,
613
00:33:22,333 --> 00:33:23,958
you'd be fired.
614
00:33:24,041 --> 00:33:26,875
Goodyear was… strict about that.
615
00:33:26,958 --> 00:33:31,833
Now, your income is 15,000 dollars less
616
00:33:31,916 --> 00:33:34,041
than other managers who are on this list,
617
00:33:34,125 --> 00:33:38,541
and if you include overtime, it is half…
618
00:33:38,625 --> 00:33:42,041
half of what the men are making.
619
00:33:42,125 --> 00:33:43,416
You know why that might be?
620
00:33:43,500 --> 00:33:45,208
No, sir, I do not.
621
00:33:45,291 --> 00:33:47,041
[Goldfarb] Do you think it might
be because you're a woman?
622
00:33:47,125 --> 00:33:49,708
- [man] Objection! Leading the witness!
- [judge] Sustained.

624
00:33:52,125 --> 00:33:56,041
Mrs. Ledbetter, when you
began your career at Goodyear,
625
00:33:56,125 --> 00:33:59,291
how many women were in
management positions?
626
00:33:59,375 --> 00:34:00,916
None.
627
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,250
[Goldfarb] None.
628
00:34:02,333 --> 00:34:05,958
And when you ended your career
at Goodyear 19 years and nine
629
00:34:06,041 --> 00:34:09,250
months later, how many women…
630
00:34:09,333 --> 00:34:11,458
were in managerial positions?
631
00:34:11,541 --> 00:34:12,750
None.
632
00:34:12,833 --> 00:34:15,541
[murmuring]
633
00:34:15,625 --> 00:34:17,333
[Goldfarb] None.
634
00:34:18,750 --> 00:34:20,000
Thank you.
635
00:34:20,083 --> 00:34:22,291
[Justice Ginsburg VO] It was
argued early on that sexual
636
00:34:22,375 --> 00:34:25,916
harassment has nothing to do
with gender discrimination.
637
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,916
Everyone knows boys will be boys,
638
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,625
and that was…
639
00:34:30,708 --> 00:34:32,333
that was that, but…
640
00:34:32,416 --> 00:34:36,916
there-- there are state and federal laws,
641
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,375
the laws are there, the laws are in place.
642
00:34:40,458 --> 00:34:42,458
It takes people…
643
00:34:42,541 --> 00:34:44,208
to step forward and use them.
644
00:34:44,291 --> 00:34:47,291
Mrs. Ledbetter, please tell
the court what occurred on May
645
00:34:47,375 --> 00:34:50,291
17th, 1998.
646
00:34:51,625 --> 00:34:53,083
You mean the fire?
647
00:34:53,166 --> 00:34:55,833
[man] Multiple men treated
for first-degree burns,
648
00:34:55,916 --> 00:34:59,000
hundreds of tires scrapped,
and who did the investigation
649
00:34:59,083 --> 00:35:01,041
- find responsible?
- I-- I was not!
650
00:35:01,125 --> 00:35:02,916
It was a mechanical malfunction!
651
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,666
Ask Andy Guthrie, he was
the first one on the scene!
652
00:35:05,750 --> 00:35:08,416
[man] In June of 1981, did the
production line stop because
653
00:35:08,500 --> 00:35:09,625
you didn't know the circuitry?
654
00:35:09,708 --> 00:35:12,083
No, they reconfigured it to sabotage me
655
00:35:12,166 --> 00:35:13,125
to make me look bad!
656
00:35:13,208 --> 00:35:15,791
Production stoppages,
workers' lives at stake--
657
00:35:15,875 --> 00:35:17,625
You cannot connect those two!
658
00:35:17,708 --> 00:35:20,250
Your Honor! Badgering.
659
00:35:20,333 --> 00:35:22,041

- [judge] Break for lunch!

One hour!
662
00:35:25,375 --> 00:35:27,333
[Justice Ginsburg VO] At the
first indication that she was
663
00:35:27,416 --> 00:35:29,291
paid less, the defense would have been
664
00:35:29,375 --> 00:35:31,916
"Oh, it had nothing to do
with Lilly being a woman.
665
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,125
She just doesn't do the job as well."
666
00:35:38,250 --> 00:35:41,666
But then, when she's done the
job year after year and gets
667
00:35:41,750 --> 00:35:44,250
good performance ratings…
668
00:35:44,958 --> 00:35:47,541
that defense is no longer available,
669
00:35:47,625 --> 00:35:49,708
and she has a winnable case.
670
00:35:49,791 --> 00:35:52,083
[Goldfarb] Mr. Vogel, can you
tell us about your company's
671
00:35:52,166 --> 00:35:56,041
policy regarding pay
increases for plant managers?
672
00:35:56,125 --> 00:35:58,916
Pay for performance, Mr.
Goldfarb, it's very simple.
673
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,333
And what can you tell us about
Mrs. Ledbetter's performance?
674
00:36:04,041 --> 00:36:06,041
Mrs. Ledbetter wants us
to believe that she was
675
00:36:06,125 --> 00:36:08,250
undervalued and underpaid.
676
00:36:08,333 --> 00:36:11,541
She was simply an
underperforming employee.
677
00:36:11,625 --> 00:36:14,583
If she wins, women all over
the country are going to use
678
00:36:14,666 --> 00:36:17,791
this as an excuse to sue.
679
00:36:17,875 --> 00:36:22,000
She was bossy, thought she was
better than everybody else.
680
00:36:22,083 --> 00:36:24,083
Nobody liked working with her.
681
00:36:24,166 --> 00:36:25,666
Nobody.
682
00:36:25,750 --> 00:36:27,750
Her evaluations were weak.
683
00:36:27,833 --> 00:36:29,333
Productivity was subpar.
684
00:36:29,416 --> 00:36:32,666
That woman has serious
issues with authority.
685
00:36:32,750 --> 00:36:35,333
She was not what you'd
call a "team player."
686
00:36:35,416 --> 00:36:37,041
And respect?
687
00:36:37,125 --> 00:36:39,500
She never knew her place
around upper management.
688
00:36:39,583 --> 00:36:40,875
Never.
689
00:36:40,958 --> 00:36:43,833
[Justice Ginsburg VO] Women
were hesitant to come forward.
690
00:36:43,916 --> 00:36:46,833
I think one of the
principle reasons for it:
691
00:36:46,916 --> 00:36:50,000
they feared that they
would not be believed.

Well, then, I'll tell
you straight to your face:
697
00:37:02,958 --> 00:37:06,333
you worked harder and smarter
than any supervisor I ever
698
00:37:06,416 --> 00:37:08,208
trained.
699
00:37:08,291 --> 00:37:10,000
But in there?
700
00:37:11,583 --> 00:37:13,416
No way.

00:37:33,083 --> 00:37:35,208
Cowards and bullies.
704
00:37:36,416 --> 00:37:39,625
They wouldn't last one day
if the tables were turned.
705
00:37:40,791 --> 00:37:42,333
20 years of this bullshit.
706
00:37:42,416 --> 00:37:45,375
Did you see that jury, the
way they looked at you?
707
00:37:45,458 --> 00:37:46,583
And only two women?
708
00:37:46,666 --> 00:37:49,166
How the hell'd that happen, huh?
709
00:37:49,250 --> 00:37:50,833
[scoffs]
710
00:37:51,333 --> 00:37:54,041
Jon wants me to smile more.
711
00:37:54,125 --> 00:37:56,375
Don't you dare smile.
712
00:38:04,166 --> 00:38:07,791
It was during my overseas
deployment that I began my--
713
00:38:07,875 --> 00:38:09,291
No…
714
00:38:09,916 --> 00:38:13,416
My duty overseas was the
beginning of a long military
715
00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:16,125
career, for which I am ever grateful?
716
00:38:16,208 --> 00:38:19,625
Ever grateful? That I'm--
that I'm grateful for? I…
717
00:38:19,708 --> 00:38:21,458
Did you tell them you were
retired with honors and you
718
00:38:21,541 --> 00:38:23,875
practically ran Fort McClellan?
719
00:38:23,958 --> 00:38:26,083
You built that thing up when
it was nothin' but a cesspool.
720
00:38:26,166 --> 00:38:29,125
Well, it's embarrassing
talking about yourself.
721
00:38:29,208 --> 00:38:31,541
Well, pretend you're
talking to the morning doves!
722
00:38:31,625 --> 00:38:34,416
Yeah, I'd do great in
a room full of birds.
723
00:38:34,500 --> 00:38:37,333
Pastor Robert said
your story was inspiring,
724
00:38:37,416 --> 00:38:40,583
and you can't say no when
you're asked to give testimony
725
00:38:40,666 --> 00:38:42,500
before the congregation.
726
00:38:42,583 --> 00:38:45,541
It's just jitters.
C'mon, we're gonna be late.
727
00:38:47,291 --> 00:38:49,375
[church piano]
728
00:38:49,458 --> 00:38:50,875
[pastor] Good morning!
729
00:38:50,958 --> 00:38:52,291
Come meet Congressman McGintry,
730
00:38:52,375 --> 00:38:53,583
running for reelection!
731
00:38:53,666 --> 00:38:54,708
Good morning, y'all. And remember:
732
00:38:54,791 --> 00:38:57,916
it's your vote that keeps
Alabama industry strong.
733
00:38:58,500 --> 00:38:59,666
Good morning!
734
00:38:59,750 --> 00:39:01,458
Come meet Congressman Dan McGintry,
735
00:39:01,541 --> 00:39:03,000
- he's running for reelection!
- How are y'all?
736
00:39:03,083 --> 00:39:05,916
Remember: it's poultry,
automotive, and mining that
737
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,208
makes Alabama great!
738
00:39:08,291 --> 00:39:09,833
Mornin', how y'all doin' today?
739
00:39:09,916 --> 00:39:12,125
- Pastor!
- It's a fine morning, isn't it?
740
00:39:12,208 --> 00:39:13,250
[pastor] It certainly is, Charles.
741
00:39:13,333 --> 00:39:15,375
- Lilly…
- Hello.
742
00:39:15,458 --> 00:39:16,625
I want to give you a heads up:
743
00:39:16,708 --> 00:39:18,208
there's been a change of plan.
744
00:39:18,291 --> 00:39:20,000
Well, what ever you need! [chuckles]
745
00:39:20,083 --> 00:39:21,958
Well…
746
00:39:22,041 --> 00:39:25,041
we think it may not be the
best idea for you to address
747
00:39:25,125 --> 00:39:26,541
the congregation…
748
00:39:26,625 --> 00:39:29,583
with everything that's going on right now.
749
00:39:29,666 --> 00:39:32,083
Timing's not good with
that lawsuit and all.
750
00:39:32,166 --> 00:39:33,416
What?
751
00:39:33,500 --> 00:39:36,291
- Wh-- he--
- Congressman McGintry is, uh,
752
00:39:36,375 --> 00:39:38,000
joining us today.
753
00:39:38,083 --> 00:39:39,250
Washington man running for
reelection -- it's a big honor
754
00:39:39,333 --> 00:39:41,333
for us.
755
00:39:41,416 --> 00:39:43,416
My father was a pastor here.
756
00:39:44,041 --> 00:39:44,958
My grandpa, too.
757
00:39:45,041 --> 00:39:47,208
Four generations
belonged to this ministry.
758
00:39:47,291 --> 00:39:49,583
[pastor] Of course.
And we're deeply indebted to
759
00:39:49,666 --> 00:39:51,916
your family, Charles.
760
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,458
Let's just…
761
00:39:53,541 --> 00:39:55,750
Let's just revisit this in a few months,
762
00:39:55,833 --> 00:39:57,916
when everything's
quieted down, how's that?
763
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,458
You think testimony to
the Lord has a right time?
764
00:40:01,541 --> 00:40:03,500
Maybe it's time for you
to review your Matthew,
765
00:40:03,583 --> 00:40:05,833
chapter five, verse ten.
766
00:40:05,916 --> 00:40:08,416
"Blessed are they who are
persecuted for the sake of
767
00:40:08,500 --> 00:40:10,666
righteousness."
768
00:40:10,750 --> 00:40:12,416
C'mon, Lilly.
769
00:40:12,500 --> 00:40:17,583
[soft somber music]
770
00:40:24,500 --> 00:40:26,083
[exhales]
771
00:40:31,041 --> 00:40:36,000
[soft tense music]
772
00:40:44,375 --> 00:40:45,833
Jesus…
773
00:40:50,333 --> 00:40:51,750
[sniffs] God!
774
00:40:52,875 --> 00:40:53,916
Lilly? Lilly!
775
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,625
- What? What?
- [Charles] Oh…
776
00:40:55,708 --> 00:40:57,166
somebody poisoned the feeders!
777
00:40:57,250 --> 00:40:59,166
- What?
- Someone…
778
00:40:59,250 --> 00:41:01,333
poisoned the feeders.
779
00:41:06,500 --> 00:41:07,541
[Goldfarb VO] Mr. Granger…
780
00:41:07,625 --> 00:41:11,208
thank you for coming all
this way to provide testimony.
781
00:41:11,291 --> 00:41:12,375
It's my pleasure.
782
00:41:12,458 --> 00:41:15,666
[Goldfarb] When did you
first meet Mrs. Ledbetter?
783
00:41:15,750 --> 00:41:18,958
We started out together
as supervisor trainees.
784
00:41:19,041 --> 00:41:21,333
When you started at Goodyear,
did you have a college
785
00:41:21,416 --> 00:41:23,416
- education?
- No, sir.
786
00:41:23,500 --> 00:41:25,291
I hadn't even finished high school.
787
00:41:25,375 --> 00:41:27,833
But, since then, with
the company's support,
788
00:41:27,916 --> 00:41:30,291
I've earned my Bachelor's and an MBA.
789
00:41:30,375 --> 00:41:32,541
An MBA?
790
00:41:33,041 --> 00:41:34,333
Wow.
791
00:41:34,416 --> 00:41:36,041
Now, what is your current position?
792
00:41:36,125 --> 00:41:38,583
I'm a senior vice president,
North American division,
793
00:41:38,666 --> 00:41:40,333
in Akron, Ohio.
794
00:41:40,416 --> 00:41:42,875
But I won't be, after today.
795
00:41:42,958 --> 00:41:45,583
I've accepted a new
position at a non-profit that
796
00:41:45,666 --> 00:41:48,958
repurposes synthesized
elastomer petroleum,
797
00:41:49,041 --> 00:41:50,708
essentially recycling tires.
798
00:41:50,791 --> 00:41:52,750
- [chuckling]
- Thank you.
799
00:41:53,250 --> 00:41:54,833
Now, Mr. Granger, when
you worked at Goodyear,
800
00:41:54,916 --> 00:41:57,958
were you present at a
meeting in which Mr. Dawkins
801
00:41:58,041 --> 00:42:00,083
criticized Miss
Ledbetter and her performance,
802
00:42:00,166 --> 00:42:02,791
despite the fact that her
production numbers were the
803
00:42:02,875 --> 00:42:04,791
best in the plant?
804
00:42:04,875 --> 00:42:07,000
Yes, I was.
805
00:42:07,083 --> 00:42:10,458
Would you tell the court
what you heard him say?
806
00:42:12,958 --> 00:42:15,416
I apologize, Lilly, you
shouldn't have to hear this.
807
00:42:15,500 --> 00:42:17,666
It's okay, Tim.
808
00:42:19,500 --> 00:42:22,083
He said, "I won't give
that effin' bitch a raise."
809
00:42:22,166 --> 00:42:26,000
[murmuring]
810
00:42:26,083 --> 00:42:29,041
Now, Mr. Granger, with
your fine education,
811
00:42:29,125 --> 00:42:32,541
do you think that you
can calculate for us the
812
00:42:32,625 --> 00:42:35,583
difference in what Mrs.
Ledbetter's income might have
813
00:42:35,666 --> 00:42:39,083
been over the course of her
career if she had had the same
814
00:42:39,166 --> 00:42:43,291
access to salary, raises,
overtime as you and the other
815
00:42:43,375 --> 00:42:44,416
men that she worked with?
816
00:42:44,500 --> 00:42:45,750
Objection!
817
00:42:45,833 --> 00:42:48,458
Speculation, the witness
is not a qualified expert!
818
00:42:48,541 --> 00:42:50,375
An expert in math?
819
00:42:50,458 --> 00:42:51,750
[judge] Sustained.
820
00:42:51,833 --> 00:42:53,958
About 500,000 dollars.
821
00:42:54,041 --> 00:42:55,041
[man] Move to strike, Your Honor!
822
00:42:55,125 --> 00:42:57,875
[judge] That testimony will
be stricken from the record!
823
00:42:57,958 --> 00:42:59,916
Nothing further.
824
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,583
[Justice Ginsburg] One case
that gave me enormous satisfaction
825
00:43:02,666 --> 00:43:04,958
was Lilly Ledbetter's case.
826
00:43:05,041 --> 00:43:07,583
One day, someone puts a slip
of paper in her mailbox
827
00:43:07,666 --> 00:43:08,916
with a series of numbers.
828
00:43:09,500 --> 00:43:12,541
They were the pay of all
the other area managers.
829
00:43:14,250 --> 00:43:17,666
And the young man
she had just trained for the job
830
00:43:18,208 --> 00:43:20,125
was earning more than she was.
831
00:43:22,333 --> 00:43:24,958
You know, I'd like to deck
every one of those assholes.
832
00:43:25,041 --> 00:43:26,583
Oh, yeah.
833
00:43:26,666 --> 00:43:31,166
So, she said,
"I've had it. I'm going to sue."
834
00:43:31,250 --> 00:43:35,625
And she sued under Title VII, our
anti-discrimination and employment law.
835
00:43:35,708 --> 00:43:38,625
[judge] Good afternoon and welcome back,
ladies and gentlemen of the jury.
836
00:43:38,708 --> 00:43:42,125
- [whispers] Hey, Mama.
- [judge] Now to the first charge,
837
00:43:42,208 --> 00:43:46,083
that of retaliation for complaining
of sex discrimination, how do you answer?
838
00:43:47,375 --> 00:43:48,625
We find for the defendant.
839
00:43:50,041 --> 00:43:54,708
And to the second claim
of age discrimination, how do you answer?
840
00:43:54,791 --> 00:43:56,000
We find for the defendant.
841
00:43:56,083 --> 00:43:57,250
[murmuring]
842
00:43:57,333 --> 00:44:01,625
To the third claim,
do you find it more likely than not
843
00:44:01,708 --> 00:44:06,000
that the defendant paid
the plaintiff an unequal salary
844
00:44:06,083 --> 00:44:07,916
- because of her sex?
- Yes, Your Honor.
845
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,333
We find for the plaintiff.
846
00:44:09,416 --> 00:44:11,500
[hopeful music plays]
847
00:44:12,083 --> 00:44:15,833
[judge] What amount
of backpay is the plaintiff owed?
848
00:44:16,458 --> 00:44:20,416
223,776 dollars, Your Honor.
849
00:44:20,500 --> 00:44:22,583
[judge]
And what amount of punitive damages,
850
00:44:22,666 --> 00:44:24,416
if any, do you award?
851
00:44:28,375 --> 00:44:33,250
3 million, 285,979 dollars.
852
00:44:33,333 --> 00:44:35,166
[chattering]
853
00:44:35,750 --> 00:44:37,375
[gavel bangs]
854
00:44:37,458 --> 00:44:39,541
[judge]
We thank the jury for their service.
855
00:44:39,625 --> 00:44:40,833
You are free to go.
856
00:44:40,916 --> 00:44:42,583
This court is now dismissed.
857
00:44:42,666 --> 00:44:44,500
You said the damages were capped!
858
00:44:44,583 --> 00:44:46,166
Oh, they are!
859
00:44:46,250 --> 00:44:48,125
That jury just sent a message.
860
00:44:48,208 --> 00:44:50,166
[laughs]
861
00:44:50,666 --> 00:44:53,291
[uplifting music plays]
862
00:44:54,875 --> 00:44:56,000
[Lilly] Mama.
863
00:45:01,833 --> 00:45:04,166
I wish Phil was here.
864
00:45:04,250 --> 00:45:06,625
[Charles whispers] I know, I know.
865
00:45:28,541 --> 00:45:30,833
Thought you might like
to see this one, too.
866
00:45:31,416 --> 00:45:34,166
Otto Vogel from Goodyear returning on one.
867
00:45:35,875 --> 00:45:37,625
[sighs]
868
00:45:37,708 --> 00:45:39,666
{\an8}Mr. Vogel! Ken Kohler here.
869
00:45:39,750 --> 00:45:41,375
{\an8}The Chamber of Commerce wants you to know
870
00:45:41,458 --> 00:45:43,166
{\an8}that you've got support
on the Ledbetter appeal.
871
00:45:43,250 --> 00:45:44,666
We're not going to appeal.
872
00:45:44,750 --> 00:45:47,541
The legal fees would be higher
than the caps on damages.
873
00:45:47,625 --> 00:45:49,958
It's just a nuisance
we'd rather fade away.
874
00:45:50,041 --> 00:45:52,125
[Kohler] I beg to differ.
The verdict's gotta be overturned
875
00:45:52,208 --> 00:45:53,541
or you'll have every disgruntled employee
876
00:45:53,625 --> 00:45:55,458
in the country
dredging up stale pay claims.
877
00:45:55,541 --> 00:45:57,500
Look, Goodyear may get off easy,
878
00:45:57,583 --> 00:46:00,125
but every other business
in America will suffer.
879
00:46:00,208 --> 00:46:03,083
We have a great deal of
influence on Capitol Hill
880
00:46:03,166 --> 00:46:04,625
and in the courts.
881
00:46:04,708 --> 00:46:08,000
I'm sure I can find
someone in Alabama to help.
882
00:46:08,583 --> 00:46:10,000
You on board?
883
00:46:10,083 --> 00:46:11,208
Let me know what you rustle up.
884
00:46:11,291 --> 00:46:13,333
Will do! Thank you.
885
00:46:14,333 --> 00:46:16,791
[birds chirping]
886
00:46:16,875 --> 00:46:18,291
- [groans]
- [Lilly] I'm back!
887
00:46:18,375 --> 00:46:21,458
[Charles] Thought I just
saw a red-plumed cardinal!
888
00:46:21,541 --> 00:46:23,833
Maybe it's just an early robin.
889
00:46:24,416 --> 00:46:26,500
Whoa! Where's my wife?
890
00:46:26,583 --> 00:46:27,583
You like it?
891
00:46:27,666 --> 00:46:30,875
- I needed a change.
- Yeah, I love it!
892
00:46:31,500 --> 00:46:33,416
I got some news you're not gonna like.
893
00:46:33,500 --> 00:46:34,500
[sighs]
894
00:46:34,583 --> 00:46:36,333
Jon just called.
895
00:46:36,416 --> 00:46:38,333
Goodyear's appealing.
896
00:46:38,416 --> 00:46:42,791
[soft tense music]
897
00:46:42,875 --> 00:46:44,875
Look, we know it was coming.
898
00:46:55,041 --> 00:46:58,375
Jon was confident the verdict would stand.
899
00:46:58,458 --> 00:46:59,791
Says…
900
00:46:59,875 --> 00:47:02,625
there's no jury, they just
argue the briefs already
901
00:47:02,708 --> 00:47:03,916
filed.
902
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:05,708
Says we'll hear soon.
903
00:47:05,791 --> 00:47:07,000
Do you want bread with the salad?
904
00:47:07,083 --> 00:47:08,833
Oy…
905
00:47:09,791 --> 00:47:11,375
I don't feel-- I don't feel so good.
906
00:47:11,458 --> 00:47:12,833
You got that headache again?
907
00:47:12,916 --> 00:47:14,333
Lemme get you something.
908
00:47:18,541 --> 00:47:20,250
You okay?
909
00:47:20,333 --> 00:47:22,541
Charles?
910
00:47:25,666 --> 00:47:30,625
[heart monitor beeping steadily]
911
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,583
- [Goldfarb, softly] Hey!
- [Charles, whispering] Ow…
912
00:47:34,666 --> 00:47:36,083
- Hey!
- [Goldfarb] How is he?
913
00:47:36,166 --> 00:47:39,291
Oh, well, they gave me some happy drugs!
914
00:47:39,375 --> 00:47:40,916
Oh, good. [chuckles]
915
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:42,375
- [knocking]
- Charles!
916
00:47:42,458 --> 00:47:44,708
- Good to see you up!
- I'll just-- I'll wait outside.
917
00:47:44,791 --> 00:47:47,041
No, no, no! You stay, Jon.
918
00:47:47,125 --> 00:47:49,458
He's a good friend.
919
00:47:50,250 --> 00:47:52,958
We removed the tumor,
920
00:47:53,041 --> 00:47:56,041
but we are dealing with a malignancy.
921
00:47:56,125 --> 00:47:59,458
Having said that, with a
round of chemo and careful
922
00:47:59,541 --> 00:48:02,541
monitoring, you have a good prognosis.
923
00:48:02,625 --> 00:48:04,541
Oh, I appreciate that, Doc.
924
00:48:04,625 --> 00:48:05,916
[doctor] Rest up, we'll talk soon.
925
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,333
[Charles] Mm.
926
00:48:07,416 --> 00:48:08,791
Thanks.
927
00:48:08,875 --> 00:48:11,083
Hey, you okay?
928
00:48:12,500 --> 00:48:13,875
I am if you are.
929
00:48:13,958 --> 00:48:16,458
Just a little skin cancer.
930
00:48:16,541 --> 00:48:18,625
Runs in my family, everybody does fine,
931
00:48:18,708 --> 00:48:20,541
so will I.
932
00:48:21,208 --> 00:48:22,666
All right, Jon, let's have it.
933
00:48:22,750 --> 00:48:25,916
I know you didn't come here
just to bring me some flowers.
934
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:27,875
[chuckles]
935
00:48:27,958 --> 00:48:29,625
Uh…
936
00:48:31,125 --> 00:48:33,375
Well, um…
937
00:48:34,125 --> 00:48:36,291
- we lost the appeal.
- What?
938
00:48:36,375 --> 00:48:38,958
They decided to
disregard the previous ruling,
939
00:48:39,041 --> 00:48:42,666
and they found that you had to
have filed a complaint within
940
00:48:42,750 --> 00:48:46,458
180 days of the original
discriminatory paycheck.
941
00:48:46,541 --> 00:48:48,708
"First" as in 20 years ago?
942
00:48:48,791 --> 00:48:50,458
How could she complain if she didn't know?
943
00:48:50,541 --> 00:48:51,958
It makes no sense!
944
00:48:52,041 --> 00:48:54,208
Look, we all grow up thinking
that the law is based on the
945
00:48:54,291 --> 00:48:56,583
truth, and in reality, it's
really about who can best
946
00:48:56,666 --> 00:48:58,375
manipulate the system.
947
00:48:58,458 --> 00:49:00,583
How could two different courts
come up with two different
948
00:49:00,666 --> 00:49:01,958
- conclusions?
- [Goldfarb] Right!
949
00:49:02,041 --> 00:49:03,833
See, that's exactly the problem,
950
00:49:03,916 --> 00:49:06,958
there is a discrepancy in
the interpretation of the law,
951
00:49:07,041 --> 00:49:09,625
and that is why the partners
and I would like to take
952
00:49:09,708 --> 00:49:10,666
this…
953
00:49:10,750 --> 00:49:12,916
to the Supreme Court.
954
00:49:13,416 --> 00:49:15,583
- The Supreme Court?
- [Goldfarb] Yeah.
955
00:49:15,666 --> 00:49:19,041
See, in our original case, the
court found that every single
956
00:49:19,125 --> 00:49:22,041
one of Lilly's paychecks was
discriminatory because she
957
00:49:22,125 --> 00:49:24,625
continued to be unfairly
paid based on the first unfair
958
00:49:24,708 --> 00:49:26,500
paycheck, but the
appellate court found that,
959
00:49:26,583 --> 00:49:29,583
because she didn't file her
complaint within 180 days,
960
00:49:29,666 --> 00:49:32,000
that the rest of the
paychecks were all fine.
961
00:49:32,083 --> 00:49:34,875
So the company profits
from that injustice her whole
962
00:49:34,958 --> 00:49:36,916
career by keeping her
at the lowest salary.
963
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,375
I mean, the raises, the pension,
964
00:49:39,458 --> 00:49:43,500
contributions, social security
that I should have gotten!
965
00:49:43,583 --> 00:49:45,041
[Goldfarb] That's right,
if this ruling is allowed to
966
00:49:45,125 --> 00:49:48,208
stand, it puts a very
bad law on the books,
967
00:49:48,291 --> 00:49:50,916
and we can't let that happen.
968
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:52,208
So…
969
00:49:52,291 --> 00:49:54,083
good news:
970
00:49:54,166 --> 00:49:56,625
I contacted the best Supreme
Court specialist that I know,
971
00:49:56,708 --> 00:49:59,000
and he has agreed to
argue your case pro bono.
972
00:49:59,083 --> 00:50:00,583
Well, I feel better already.
973
00:50:00,666 --> 00:50:02,750
But…
974
00:50:02,833 --> 00:50:06,291
the Supreme Court rejects 99
percent of the cases that are
975
00:50:06,375 --> 00:50:09,833
submitted to it, and this case is…
976
00:50:09,916 --> 00:50:12,041
it's a long shot, at best.
977
00:50:12,125 --> 00:50:13,791
Either way…
978
00:50:13,875 --> 00:50:18,083
it's gonna take some time, so, you…
979
00:50:18,166 --> 00:50:21,291
just worry about getting better, okay?
980
00:50:21,375 --> 00:50:23,375
I will take care of the rest.
981
00:50:24,333 --> 00:50:25,458
Thank you, Jon.
982
00:50:25,541 --> 00:50:27,958
- Bye.
- Yeah, all right.
983
00:50:28,708 --> 00:50:31,291
Enjoy your happy drugs. [chuckles]
984
00:50:31,375 --> 00:50:36,333
[soft suspenseful music]
985
00:50:43,041 --> 00:50:46,166
{\an8}The fundamental disagreement
in this case is the definition
986
00:50:46,250 --> 00:50:48,666
of "unlawful employment practice."
987
00:50:48,750 --> 00:50:50,000
For years, my client, Ms. Ledbetter,
988
00:50:50,083 --> 00:50:53,041
received smaller pay increases
than men do in the same job as
989
00:50:53,125 --> 00:50:56,000
her at a tire plant in Gadsden, Alabama.
990
00:50:56,083 --> 00:50:57,833
The court below held that
she should have complained
991
00:50:57,916 --> 00:50:59,083
earlier.
992
00:50:59,166 --> 00:51:01,000
But how could she had done
so when those discriminatory
993
00:51:01,083 --> 00:51:03,541
raises were being given in secret?
994
00:51:03,625 --> 00:51:06,500
Miss Ledbetter was consigned
to a career as a second-class
995
00:51:06,583 --> 00:51:09,000
employee only because she is a woman.
996
00:51:09,083 --> 00:51:12,416
That cannot be the law, and it isn't.
997
00:51:12,500 --> 00:51:16,708
There comes a point when
discrimination is staring at
998
00:51:16,791 --> 00:51:20,083
you in the face and you
have to make a stand,
999
00:51:20,166 --> 00:51:21,583
and that's what Lilly did.
1000
00:51:21,666 --> 00:51:23,666
You said the Ledbetter
petition would never land on
1001
00:51:23,750 --> 00:51:25,041
the docket.
1002
00:51:25,125 --> 00:51:26,500
We've got friends in high places.
1003
00:51:26,583 --> 00:51:28,916
We stuck our neck out on your advice.
1004
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,333
You won't regret it.
1005
00:51:32,916 --> 00:51:35,458
Wilson looking for a man in the end zone…
1006
00:51:35,541 --> 00:51:36,541
Oh!
1007
00:51:36,625 --> 00:51:38,708
Is this the recipe with the cocoa powder?
1008
00:51:38,791 --> 00:51:40,583
I like it better than
the melted chocolate.
1009
00:51:40,666 --> 00:51:41,958
Mm, me too.
1010
00:51:42,041 --> 00:51:44,166
- Gimme that.
- [chuckles]
1011
00:51:44,250 --> 00:51:46,333
Alex! Where's Will?
1012
00:51:46,416 --> 00:51:48,666
I've never known him to
miss one of your birthdays!
1013
00:51:48,750 --> 00:51:50,708
Finals. Couldn't get up here in time.
1014
00:51:50,791 --> 00:51:52,791
Oh, college boy.
1015
00:51:52,875 --> 00:51:54,541
I'm so proud of him.
1016
00:51:54,625 --> 00:51:56,125
- We are too.
- [Lilly chuckles]
1017
00:51:56,208 --> 00:51:57,583
[Charles] Nice ball!
1018
00:51:57,666 --> 00:52:01,125
[boy] Thanks, yeah, Uncle Phil
got it for Alex last night.
1019
00:52:03,416 --> 00:52:05,333
[soft melancholy music]
1020
00:52:05,416 --> 00:52:07,041
[Lilly] Y-- you saw Phil?
1021
00:52:07,125 --> 00:52:08,166
Well, he called.
1022
00:52:08,250 --> 00:52:11,458
I told him about what's going on with me.
1023
00:52:11,541 --> 00:52:14,000
He's moving back home!
1024
00:52:14,583 --> 00:52:16,666
Just give him a little time, all right?
1025
00:52:16,750 --> 00:52:18,625
He'll come around.
1026
00:52:33,708 --> 00:52:36,250
[man on radio] This is 90.3 WBHM,
1027
00:52:36,333 --> 00:52:39,208
from the heart of Alabama,
with news on today's Supreme
1028
00:52:39,291 --> 00:52:40,958
Court rulings.
1029
00:52:41,041 --> 00:52:44,708
Today, in a 5-4 vote
delivered by Justice Alito,
1030
00:52:44,791 --> 00:52:47,666
the Supreme Court ruled
against Lilly Ledbetter in her
1031
00:52:47,750 --> 00:52:50,083
efforts to hold Goodyear
accountable for discriminatory
1032
00:52:50,166 --> 00:52:51,666
pay.
1033
00:52:51,750 --> 00:52:54,958
But Justice Ginsburg, reading
her dissent from the bench,
1034
00:52:55,041 --> 00:52:57,958
said, "The Court does not
comprehend or is indifferent
1035
00:52:58,041 --> 00:53:01,083
to the insidious way in
which women can be victims of
1036
00:53:01,166 --> 00:53:03,083
discrimination.
1037
00:53:03,166 --> 00:53:06,250
Once again, the ball
is in Congress' court."
1038
00:53:06,333 --> 00:53:08,541
[Goldfarb sighs]
1039
00:53:08,625 --> 00:53:10,208
[man on radio] In
another Supreme Court ruling,
1040
00:53:10,291 --> 00:53:12,416
- the majority determined--
- [radio clicks off]
1041
00:53:13,166 --> 00:53:14,583
Okay.
1042
00:53:16,041 --> 00:53:18,291
Okay, well…
1043
00:53:18,375 --> 00:53:20,291
I know that it doesn't
seem like it, but, uh,
1044
00:53:20,375 --> 00:53:22,125
that's huge, Lilly.
1045
00:53:22,208 --> 00:53:26,166
They rarely read their
dissent from the bench.
1046
00:53:26,250 --> 00:53:28,250
That means that you got to her.
1047
00:53:32,208 --> 00:53:34,291
It's their job…
1048
00:53:34,375 --> 00:53:38,625
to make sure the laws of
our country protect us.
1049
00:53:38,708 --> 00:53:41,583
It's a Conservative court, it…
1050
00:53:41,666 --> 00:53:43,166
These are powerful groups.
1051
00:53:43,250 --> 00:53:45,708
We knew that it could go either way.
1052
00:53:45,791 --> 00:53:50,916
[soft mournful music]
1053
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,750
[crying softly]
1054
00:53:53,833 --> 00:53:56,083
I screwed it up.
1055
00:53:57,750 --> 00:54:00,250
I screwed it all up.
1056
00:54:01,791 --> 00:54:06,833
[crying continues]

00:54:09,958 --> 00:54:12,125
[Justice Ginsburg VO] "The
ball is now in Congress'
1058
00:54:12,208 --> 00:54:13,833
court…
1059
00:54:14,416 --> 00:54:16,708
to correct the error…
1060
00:54:16,791 --> 00:54:18,833
into which…
1061
00:54:18,916 --> 00:54:21,458
my colleagues have fallen."

1063
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,958
I'm Jocelyn Samuels from the
National Women's Law Center in
1064
00:54:36,041 --> 00:54:37,583
DC.
1065
00:54:37,666 --> 00:54:40,875
You came all the way from
Washington just to talk to me?
1066
00:54:40,958 --> 00:54:43,000
Yes, I did.
1067
00:54:43,500 --> 00:54:46,041
The Court made a terrible mistake today.
1068
00:54:46,125 --> 00:54:48,166
I'm wondering if you have a few minutes?
1069
00:54:48,250 --> 00:54:51,083
Well, I wish you'd called before you came.
1070
00:54:54,958 --> 00:54:57,875
Come on! I'll make coffee.
1071
00:54:58,375 --> 00:55:01,833
You mean a law that says
companies can't cheat women?
1072
00:55:01,916 --> 00:55:04,458
[Jocelyn] A law that would
make every unfair paycheck a
1073
00:55:04,541 --> 00:55:07,000
discriminatory act, not just the first.
1074
00:55:07,083 --> 00:55:09,583
So people would have time to fight back.

1078
00:55:15,833 --> 00:55:17,375
Excuse me.
1079
00:55:18,416 --> 00:55:19,541
- Hello?
- [woman on phone] Hi!
1080
00:55:19,625 --> 00:55:21,458
This is The New York Times calling.
1081
00:55:21,541 --> 00:55:24,333
- Lilly Ledbetter, please?
- Uh, this is she.
1082
00:55:24,416 --> 00:55:25,708
[whispering] It's The New York Times!
1083
00:55:25,791 --> 00:55:27,500
[woman on phone] Would you
available for an interview
1084
00:55:27,583 --> 00:55:28,958
tomorrow with one of our journalists?
1085
00:55:29,041 --> 00:55:31,208
- Uh… sure.
- [woman] Great.
1086
00:55:31,291 --> 00:55:33,958
I-- I think I can do that.
1087
00:55:34,041 --> 00:55:36,583
[woman] So, then, we'll call
you later to schedule, okay?
1088
00:55:36,666 --> 00:55:38,250
Okay.
1089
00:55:38,333 --> 00:55:40,458
- Th-- thank you, bye.
- [woman] Bye-bye.
1090
00:55:40,541 --> 00:55:41,541
[chuckles]
1091
00:55:41,625 --> 00:55:42,750
[Jocelyn] When you're in a fight,
1092
00:55:42,833 --> 00:55:45,125
you think you're the only one,
but women all over the country
1093
00:55:45,208 --> 00:55:46,333
- need this!
- [phone rings]
1094
00:55:46,416 --> 00:55:47,875
[Lilly] Excuse me.
1095
00:55:47,958 --> 00:55:49,541
[Justice Ginsburg VO] It's
very hard to do anything as a
1096
00:55:49,625 --> 00:55:51,166
- loner.
- [Lilly] Hello?
1097
00:55:51,250 --> 00:55:52,750
[man on phone] Hi, this is the
NBC Nightly News with

Brian Williams…
1099
00:55:54,250 --> 00:55:55,458
[Justice Ginsburg VO] But
if you get together with
1100
00:55:55,541 --> 00:55:59,875
like-minded people, you can be a force…
1101
00:55:59,958 --> 00:56:02,583
- for change.
- O-- okay.
1102
00:56:02,666 --> 00:56:04,375
- [man] Thank you very much.
- Sure!
1103
00:56:04,458 --> 00:56:06,541
[man] Scheduling will call
you later to set up a time.
1104
00:56:06,625 --> 00:56:08,000
[Lilly] We'll talk later, thank you.
1105
00:56:08,083 --> 00:56:09,125
[man] Thank you.
1106
00:56:09,208 --> 00:56:11,541
You've become the face of
women's inequity in the
1107
00:56:11,625 --> 00:56:12,500
workplace.
1108
00:56:12,583 --> 00:56:13,625
Justice Ginsburg said it!
1109
00:56:13,708 --> 00:56:17,458
Congress needs to hear from
you to push this law along!
1110
00:56:17,541 --> 00:56:18,916
To make it real!
1111
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,541
I-- I don't know about
politics or anything except…
1112
00:56:22,625 --> 00:56:26,666
making tires and keeping
a checkbook straight…
1113
00:56:26,750 --> 00:56:27,916
baking and sewing, of course.
1114
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,666
Not being an expert is the
very thing that is so powerful
1115
00:56:30,750 --> 00:56:32,375
about you!
1116
00:56:32,458 --> 00:56:34,166
But it is hard work.
1117
00:56:34,250 --> 00:56:37,250
And you'd have to be up
for a long slog again.
1118

Hello.

00:56:47,500 --> 00:56:50,750
- [Lilly] We lost.
- Yeah, I-- I heard.
1122
00:56:50,833 --> 00:56:52,875
Are you okay?
1123
00:56:55,250 --> 00:56:57,083
Oh, this is Jocelyn Samuels.
1124
00:56:57,166 --> 00:56:59,458
She wants me to go to
Washington to meet some people
1125
00:56:59,541 --> 00:57:00,541
- in Congress.
- Hello.
1126
00:57:00,625 --> 00:57:02,125
My husband, Charles.
1127
00:57:02,208 --> 00:57:03,166
- Hello.
- [chuckles]
1128
00:57:03,250 --> 00:57:04,583
[Jocelyn] Hello.
1129
00:57:05,333 --> 00:57:06,500
I…
1130
00:57:06,583 --> 00:57:08,583
I appreciate you coming here, but…
1131
00:57:08,666 --> 00:57:10,833
really, I'm tired.
1132
00:57:10,916 --> 00:57:14,250
I just wanna enjoy my grandkids and…
1133
00:57:14,333 --> 00:57:17,208
help Charles through everything.
1134
00:57:17,291 --> 00:57:19,666
[Jocelyn] I hope you'll think about it.
1135
00:57:19,750 --> 00:57:21,750
- Nice meeting you both.
- You too.
1136
00:57:21,833 --> 00:57:24,000
Thank you so much.

00:57:28,500 --> 00:57:31,458
I'm sorry about before. About Phillip.
1140
00:57:31,541 --> 00:57:34,625
I was gonna tell ya, of course.
1141
00:57:34,708 --> 00:57:38,291
[sighs] So, uh, what are you gonna do?
1142
00:57:38,375 --> 00:57:41,041
[Lilly chuckles] Vacuum the living room.
1143
00:57:41,125 --> 00:57:42,750
NBC's coming to interview me tomorrow.
1144
00:57:42,833 --> 00:57:43,833
- [chuckles]
- Wow.
1145
00:57:43,916 --> 00:57:46,125
No, I mean about Washington.
1146
00:57:46,708 --> 00:57:50,541
I'm not having you use me as an excuse.
1147
00:57:50,625 --> 00:57:52,250
- [car engine starts]
- So, go on.
1148
00:57:52,333 --> 00:57:54,541
Go get her before she leaves.
1149
00:57:54,625 --> 00:57:56,250
Go on.

[Justice Ginsburg VO]
Every time I write a dissent,
1153
00:58:05,416 --> 00:58:07,458
I'm hoping for one result:
1154
00:58:07,541 --> 00:58:10,458
either congressional change or, the other,
1155
00:58:10,541 --> 00:58:14,416
that the Court will overrule its prior…
1156
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:15,708
wrong decision.
1157
00:58:15,791 --> 00:58:19,166
Who was it who said "It
ain't over 'til it's over?"
1158
00:58:19,250 --> 00:58:20,666
Marcia!

{\an8}- Mr. Goldfarb!
- Hi.
1161
00:58:26,375 --> 00:58:29,333
I am so delighted to finally meet you.
1162
00:58:29,416 --> 00:58:30,541
[Jocelyn] Marcia's my boss.
1163
00:58:30,625 --> 00:58:31,666
She's the one that found your story.
1164
00:58:31,750 --> 00:58:35,666
Your story jumped out at
me, like other American women
1165
00:58:35,750 --> 00:58:37,708
whose legacy made a difference!
1166
00:58:37,791 --> 00:58:40,291
People are going to remember your name!
1167
00:58:40,375 --> 00:58:41,666
I don't know about that. [chuckles]
1168
00:58:41,750 --> 00:58:43,791
Mrs. Ledbetter! Welcome to Washington!
1169
00:58:43,875 --> 00:58:45,958
Good luck! See you inside.
1170
00:58:46,041 --> 00:58:47,500
[Marcia] That is George Miller,
1171
00:58:47,583 --> 00:58:50,083
and Rosa DeLauro, the bill's sponsors.
1172
00:58:50,166 --> 00:58:52,375
I-- I didn't realize there
would be so many people.
1173
00:58:52,458 --> 00:58:54,625
- Just be yourself.
- [Marcia] So!
1174
00:58:54,708 --> 00:58:56,708
What do you do to shake
off nerves before your dance
1175
00:58:56,791 --> 00:58:57,791
competitions?
1176
00:58:57,875 --> 00:58:59,791
[Lilly] I dream about winning the lottery.
1177
00:58:59,875 --> 00:59:01,125
[Marcia laughs]
1178
00:59:01,208 --> 00:59:03,208
That is priceless! [laughs]
1179
00:59:09,750 --> 00:59:11,250
Good morning.
1180
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,291
I'm Lilly Ledbetter, and
I'm here to tell you…
1181
00:59:15,375 --> 00:59:20,500
how my employer of almost 20
years discriminated against me,
1182
00:59:20,583 --> 00:59:22,708
and how I fought back.
1183
00:59:22,791 --> 00:59:27,666
I was an underdog, like
David, who slayed Goliath…
1184
00:59:27,750 --> 00:59:29,416
without the slingshot, of course.
1185
00:59:29,500 --> 00:59:32,083
[laughter]
1186
00:59:32,166 --> 00:59:34,416
The thing is…
1187
00:59:34,500 --> 00:59:38,750
where I come from, we loved our Goliath.
1188
00:59:39,625 --> 00:59:43,416
Everybody you knew who had a
good job worked at Goodyear
1189
00:59:43,500 --> 00:59:45,500
Tire Company.
1190
00:59:45,583 --> 00:59:48,333
During World War II, when the
men went off to fight in the
1191
00:59:48,416 --> 00:59:52,541
war, my-- my aunt, Maddie Belle,
1192
00:59:52,625 --> 00:59:54,750
practically ran the place!
1193
00:59:54,833 --> 00:59:58,000
And when I got hired into
the management program,
1194
00:59:58,083 --> 00:59:59,625
I was honored.
1195
01:00:01,125 --> 01:00:04,791
But that company took advantage of me,
1196
01:00:04,875 --> 01:00:08,583
like so many companies are
taking advantage of their
1197
01:00:08,666 --> 01:00:11,500
workers, and that just isn't right!
1198
01:00:11,583 --> 01:00:13,250
[murmurs of agreement]
1199
01:00:13,333 --> 01:00:15,750
And so, I'm here… [chuckles]
1200
01:00:15,833 --> 01:00:18,875
hoping that you folks'll fix this…
1201
01:00:18,958 --> 01:00:21,375
for the American people,
1202
01:00:21,458 --> 01:00:26,416
to make sure that what happened to me…
1203
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:28,541
[sighs]
1204
01:00:28,625 --> 01:00:32,041
doesn't happen to anybody else.
1205
01:00:34,583 --> 01:00:37,041
- Thank you.
- [applause]
1206
01:00:37,125 --> 01:00:39,000
[Justice Ginsburg VO] The
US Supreme Court decides
1207
01:00:39,083 --> 01:00:40,375
"Lilly, you sued too late!
1208
01:00:40,458 --> 01:00:45,250
This law, Title VII, says you
must complain within 180 days
1209
01:00:45,333 --> 01:00:48,208
of the discriminatory incident."
1210
01:00:48,291 --> 01:00:50,958
My theory in dissent…
1211
01:00:51,041 --> 01:00:54,583
was that every paycheck
she received renewed the
1212
01:00:54,666 --> 01:00:55,708
discrimination.
1213
01:00:55,791 --> 01:00:58,791
With this bill, we'll
reinstate that every paycheck
1214
01:00:58,875 --> 01:01:01,000
is a new discriminatory act.
1215
01:01:01,083 --> 01:01:03,625
It may not sound like sweeping reform,
1216
01:01:03,708 --> 01:01:06,166
but think of it like building heat --
1217
01:01:06,250 --> 01:01:09,416
you start with one
hot coal, and by the end,
1218
01:01:09,500 --> 01:01:11,333
you have a bonfire.
1219
01:01:11,916 --> 01:01:14,583
- This is the coal.
- [DeLauro] Mm-hm.
1220
01:01:14,666 --> 01:01:17,958
Your being here will help
us get Congress on board.
1221
01:01:18,041 --> 01:01:20,750
Then, we just pray
President Bush doesn't veto.
1222
01:01:20,833 --> 01:01:24,500
Kinda sad that gender equity
has a political affiliation.

{\an8}that the discrimination was taking place?
1412

{\an8}gave them a paycheck…
1414

I wanna talk to you.

Look at you.

I came to say goodbye to my father.

Always.
1589
01:21:02,041 --> 01:21:04,291
I wanted more for us.
1590
01:21:04,958 --> 01:21:09,416
Figured a nice house and a
couple of cars would make me
1591
01:21:09,500 --> 01:21:11,541
count for something.
1592
01:21:11,625 --> 01:21:14,708
I wanted to prove I was
more than that scrawny kid,
1593
01:21:14,791 --> 01:21:17,416
more than that nothin' Edna said I'd be.
1594
01:21:20,208 --> 01:21:22,833
But that job ate me up.
1595
01:21:22,916 --> 01:21:28,000
It trapped me in anger and frustration,
1596
01:21:28,083 --> 01:21:30,500
and I guess I thought…
1597
01:21:30,583 --> 01:21:35,166
being the first one in and the
last one out of the factory
1598
01:21:35,250 --> 01:21:37,375
would prove that I was the best.

No matter what I did, it didn't matter.

Washington is a whole new
place since the election!
1636

I can feel it from here.
1637
01:23:56,291 --> 01:23:58,458
[Jocelyn] I had a
meeting over in Birmingham,
1638
01:23:58,541 --> 01:24:01,291
so I thought I'd bring this over myself.

1647
01:24:28,333 --> 01:24:30,875
he was naming the bill after me…

We've got the votes in
the House this time,

but the Senate's another story,
1651

lobby scores the vote.

- It'll just be a minute.
- I'm listening.
1666
01:25:22,583 --> 01:25:25,250
I understand everything you
do is to bolster the American
1667
01:25:25,333 --> 01:25:27,875
economy, and-and I respect that.
1668
01:25:27,958 --> 01:25:30,333

Don't score the vote,
you'll be making a strategic error.

All women want equality,
not just women from one party!
1674

You can't afford to lose
51% of your voters.
1675

I'm not so sure those numbers--
1676
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:53,083
There are Republican senators
who want to support this bill.
1677
01:25:53,166 --> 01:25:56,291
Do you want their seats
to be collateral damage?
