Dr. Ledbetter's HuffPost on Equal Pay

Bernice Ledbetter, Practitioner Faculty of Organizational Theory and Management at the Pepperdine Graziadio School, recently blogged on the Huffington Post about the importance of equal pay for women. California is poised to have the strongest equal pay law in the country and Dr. Ledbetter commends the bipartisan legislation that leaders in California have passed to close the pay gap and ensure that women receive "equal pay for equal work".
