What role has litigation played in the struggle for equal pay
between women and men? In "Rights at Work," Michael W. McCann
explains how wage discrimination battles have raised public legal
consciousness and helped reform activists mobilize working women in
the pay equity movement over the past two decades.
"Rights at Work" explores the political strategies in more than a
dozen pay equity struggles since the late 1970s, including battles
of state employees in Washington and Connecticut, as well as city
employees in San Jose and Los Angeles. Relying on interviews with
over 140 union and feminist activists, McCann shows that, even when
the courts failed to correct wage discrimination, litigation and
other forms of legal advocacy provided reformers with the legal
discourse2;the understanding of legal rights and their
constraints2;for defining and advancing their cause.
"Rights at Work" offers new insight into the relation between law
and social change2;the ways in which grass roots social movements
work within legal rights traditions to promote progressive reform.
