Answer: b. Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.

Explanation:

In the case of Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co in 2007, the US Supreme Court ruled that if claims were based on decisions taken by the employer 180 days ago or more, then the employers CANNOT be sued under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 over race or gender pay discrimination.

Plaintiff's were still however allowed to sue under other laws such as the Equal Pay Act which has a 3 year deadline for most sex discrimination claims.

Congress later reversed this ruling in 2009 with the passing of the LILLY LEDBETTER FAIR PAY ACT.

Answer: True

Explanation: Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,(2007), is an employment discrimination decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. It ruled that employers cannot be sued under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 over race or gender pay discrimination if the claims are based on decisions made by the employer over 180 days prior to the claim.

In rejecting Ledbetter's appeal, the Supreme Court said she could and should have brought her claim when the pay decisions were made, instead of waiting beyond the 180-day statutory charging period. The effect of the Court's holding was reversed by the passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in 2009 by Congress.

The act amended Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and states that the 180-day statute of limitations for filing an equal-pay lawsuit regarding pay discrimination resets with each new paycheck affected by that discriminatory action, and not the date the employer made the initial wage discriminatory decision.

Three strategies parents can used to communicate with their children
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Hello there!

#1 Strategy 

They could constantly ask them, their day, how they've been doing. And the thing's that they have been going through, either at school or other informal locations.

#2 Strategy

Another thing that can be used, you could perhaps give them a cell phone, to always be in touch with him/her and always be communicated.

#3 Strategy

Make sure that you are talking to them at a correct time. Don't give them a hard time as they are not feeling in a mood that is not pleasing. By you doing this, your communication would improve with your children.

I hope this helps you greatly!
