EMPLOYERREPORT.COM ALERT: Tell Senate that Ledbetter is BAD, not Better...

We've received several e-mail 'alerts' today regarding another Orwellian-named bill that unions and their anti-business allies are attempting to pass called the "Lily Ledbetter Pay Fair Act" (aka HR 2831).

With bill-sponsor Ted Kennedy (D-MA) leading the assault on employers' ability to do business in America, the Senate WILL BE VOTING ON THIS BILL WEDNESDAY.

This bill, if passed, will remove any time constraints on employment-related claims of discrimination. This means that employers will be exposed to lawsuits from employees who claim they were discriminated against years (or decades) before.

To get more information on this dangerous and costly bill, check out:

The US Chamber of Commerce's Action Alert (complete with a form to e-mail your Senators) here...

EMPLOYERS, BY NOT TAKING ACTING ON THIS LEGISLATION, YOU MAY BE IGNORING IT TO YOUR OWN (AND YOUR EMPLOYEES') PERIL.
