Goodyear's Position On The Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
Goodyear strongly believes in and abides by the laws regarding pay discrimination.
Goodyear believes the new law erodes one of the underlying principles of Title VII, which is to encourage individuals to report concerns about discrimination promptly.
Prompt reporting gives an employer the chance to review the concern in a timely fashion and make any necessary corrections. Under the new law, employers will also be placed in the unfair position of defending claims that are years if not decades old, as Goodyear was in Ms. Ledbetter’s lawsuit.
Goodyear’s long-standing EEO policy provides employees with multiple avenues for reporting concerns about discrimination. For whatever reason, Ms. Ledbetter chose to ignore this policy during her employment with the Company, and sued only after she retired.
Background on Ledbetter Supreme Court Case
Goodyear would like to provide additional information regarding the Supreme Court’s decision in Ledbetter v Goodyear. This is simply a fact sheet and is not intended to debate the original 180/300-day limitation for filing a charge of discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
Key Points:
* Goodyear has a long-standing policy prohibiting discrimination in employment and pay. In support of its policy against discrimination in pay, Goodyear presented evidence that its male and female managers, in like circumstances, received comparable pay increases.
* For example, Ms. Ledbetter was placed on two extended layoffs and, like male employees who also were laid off, was not eligible for pay increases. When Ms. Ledbetter was eligible for pay increases, she was treated the same way as male employees whose performance ratings were similar to her ratings. Those male employees and Ms. Ledbetter received comparable increases in those years.
* Like most companies, pay increases at Goodyear are based on performance. In fact, there was a judicial finding of no discrimination with respect to the merit increases Ms. Ledbetter received in the years just before she took an early retirement.
* Ms. Ledbetter testified that she first thought her pay was out of line in the early 1990s. Instead of reporting her concern then, she waited until 1998, after she retired, and then pursued a lawsuit. Goodyear encourages associates to report concerns as soon as possible so they can be fairly reviewed and remedied, if necessary.
* Ms. Ledbetter based her claim of sex discrimination in large part on alleged comments made to her as long as 20 years earlier by a male co-worker. By the time that Ms. Ledbetter filed her claim, that male employee had died. Claims filed promptly are in the best interest of both the employee and employer.
* Goodyear policy does not prohibit employees from talking about their salaries. In fact, Ms. Ledbetter never claimed that she lacked the knowledge about people’s pay in order to file her discrimination claim earlier than she did.

WHY GOODYEAR
YOUR WORLD, AT GOODYEAR
It's easy enough to look back into history for stories that describe Goodyear. The company has been in existence since 1898 and survived World Wars, depressions, recessions, surges, losses and every conceivable stock market fluctuation. But the real question is, "What's in store for the people working there today? What lies ahead for those who choose to make the company their own today in the years ahead?"
The answer to that question lies where it always does, in the eyes of our customers. Goodyear's reach extends around the globe, selling through Dealers, distributors, original equipment accounts, company-owned stores, mass merchants and sales offices.
We also are moving more steadily toward selling via the global web. Included in this mix are customers of every nationality, of every background, of every disposition, with only one thing in common - they demand the best value we can provide. In every case, the drive is to provide products that meet exceptional high quality standards, that push the envelope for performance improvement and that are available when and where they are needed.
So, when we look into the future, we will be looking into the eyes of every consumer that buys tires and engineered rubber products and asking ourselves how we can meet and exceed their needs. Your world, if you choose a career with us, will be the same.
