From the story:
Born in Jacksonville, Ala., Ledbetter was hired as a supervisor at a Goodyear tire plant in Gadsden, Ala., in 1979. Years later, she discovered through an anonymous note left in her mailbox that she was receiving less pay than her male co-workers who worked the same position.
About 25 years ago I worked at a place with a guy and his wife who both had the same job in the Accounting Department. The wife was paid less than the husband and she made a big deal about it. She ultimately divorced the husband and married her boss! :D
