Equal pay for women - is this an actual issue?

[Anonymous]

Oh, brother. We have had federal laws allowing women to sue for pay discrimination for 40 years: title VII and the equal pay act. The Lilly Ledbetter act didn't create any new substantive rights. It just makes it easier for employees to bring stale claims. OP is right that this is shameless pandering.

Tell me if I understand this -- the law said women can sue if they are paid less than men doing the same work, but the Court ruled that this does not apply if the employer manages to cover up the discrimination for a long enough time. The Ledbetter law corrected this, but Romeny thinks there is nothing needing correction.

So one or more posters on here think Romney is right that there is nothing wrong with erasing a crime because the criminal managed to cover it up?
