Durabla Mfg Co v. Goodyear Tire

USDC for the District of New Jerse

In the Wake of Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company: Applying the Discovery Rule to Determine the Start of the Limitations Period for Pay Discrimination Claims

14 These laws include Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,15 Section 1981 of the Civil War Reconstruction statutes,16 the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA),17 the Equal Pay Act (EPA),18 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA).19 While the statutes define different types of discrimination, each addresses discrimination in employment and defines a limitations period in which an employee can bring a claim.20 With Title VII defining the paradigm, the first step in determining whether a claim is timely under any statute is determining when the discriminatory act takes place.21 To do that, one must identify with care the specific employment practice that is at issue

Pay Equity Legislation

[Excerpt] The issue of pay equity has attracted substantial attention in recent Congresses. A number of measures, including bills that would provide additional remedies, mandate “equal pay for equivalent jobs,” or require studies on pay inequity, have been introduced in each of the last several congressional sessions. In the 111th Congress, similar legislation has been introduced, including the Paycheck Fairness Act (H.R. 12/S. 182/S. 3772), the Fair Pay Act (H.R. 2151/S. 904), and the Title VII Fairness Act (S. 166). In addition, on January 29, 2009, President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 (H.R. 11/S. 181). This legislation supersedes the 2007 Supreme Court decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Inc., by amending Title VII to clarify that the time limit for suing employers for pay discrimination begins each time they issue a paycheck. Although the House of Representatives passed both the Ledbetter legislation and the Paycheck Fairness Act as a combined package, the Senate did not combine the two bills and has not yet taken up the latter for a vote. Recently, however, Senator Reid reintroduced the Paycheck Fairness Act as S. 3772, and the bill has been placed on the Senate calendar

Interfirm Relationship between Automobile Firms and Tire Firms in the U.S., 1900-1940

This study empirically examines the relationships among major U.S. automakers and tire firms before World War II. Accordingly, it discusses the primary historical records of Ford Motor Company (Ford Motors) and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (Goodyear). Analysis reveals that organizational principles underlie and influence transactions related to tire sales between large automakers and tire firms. Underlying long-term negotiated contracts, however, market principles were also hard at work. This paper provides important historical sources that can be used for international comparative analysis of other interfirm relationships, analysis that can contribute factor findings in the area of business history
