The Employment Law Group® Law Firm Secures $466,000 Plus Verdict in Equal Pay Act Case
On December 22, 2008, The Employment Law Group® law firm obtained a verdict of $466,816 for a former female director of the National Transportation Safety Board ("NTSB") who alleged that the NTSB discriminated against her by paying her less than similarly-situated male directors at the NTSB. In her complaint, the former director also alleged that the NTSB ignored her complaints when she questioned the pay differential. Finding that the former director established a violation of the Equal Pay Act and that the NTSB failed to prove that the wage disparity between the former female director and her male counterparts was not gender-based, the Court of Federal Claims awarded the former female director lost back pay, lost retirement benefits and attorneys' fees. The case name is Cooke v. United States.
