Obama signs US workforce anti-discrimination law
President Obama signed his first bill into law handing his labor and women's rights backers a victory by reversing a 2007 US Supreme Court decision that made it harder to sue for pay discrimination. On average, US women are paid 23% less than men while minority women receive even less.
