Senate may consider unequal pay bill

The senate is looking at passing a bill that would allow individuals who feel they have been discriminated against their company in pay compared to other co-workers who do the same job, sue that company. This would overturn a ruling by the Supreme Court in which a female tried suing Good Year tire company however, the Supreme Court ruled she filed to late. Democrats are in favor of the policy however republicans state it would develop to many cases in the court system.

I know there have been many court cases in the past, and problems in the workforce, with discrimination regarding pay. I think that the passing of this bill would be great, but I agree that it would cause many problems in the court system. The passing of this bill could cause a lot of unnecessary controversy.
