Last I heard, it was 75c in 2002.

It actually depends on your race.
Women of color are more likely to get paid 60cents to every man's dollar but white women fall into the 75c:1.00.
And while they say the gap is closing, at the current rate pay will be equal in 500 years.

If anyone would like to read the case documents and see if they can point out when during her 18 years of employment the discrimination took place, a good source is here.

She couldn't prove any discrimination in the two adjustment periods within her 180 statute of limitations. There are 18 years of performance documentation and supervisor interviews that she wants admitted. She could have started the action within 180 days of any of the times she was denied a raise or placed on the layoff list. She didn't. We are looking at defenses of laches and estoppel. I be if I took the time to read the nine years of pleadngs, I would find Goodyear asserting those affirmative defenses.

I'm apparently missing something here. Everyone is saying that X number of justices were "wrong". Am I mistaken in feeling that the justices cannot be wrong because the law is a subject of interpretation? From where I stand, it means they held an opinion which differed from the majority; that doesn't make it "wrong." It makes it different.

If they don't do what you want them to do, they are wrong.
if they do something you don't want them to do, they are activist judges.
