President Obama signs equal pay law
President Obama on Thursday signed into law a measure allowing for broader legal claims against unfair pay, saying it would "help others get the justice" that Lilly Ledbetter was denied.
The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act is a response to a May 2007 Supreme Court ruling that made it tougher for employees to file pay discrimination claims.
It is the first bill Mr. Obama has signed into law, and effectively overturns the court's ruling.
