Women's equal pay activist Lilly Ledbetter has no grievance with Barack Obama paying women 12 percent less than men in the White House, she said during an interview with TruthRevolt Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro on his Seattle show with KTTH Monday. Click AUDIO below to hear the interview:

Ledbetter is famous for her decades-long lawsuit against Goodyear over unfair pay that ended unfavorably in 2006 when the Supreme Court ruled she did not file her lawsuit in time. She has been the poster-child for the equal pay movement since 2009 when Barack Obama signed into law the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which "changed the time period for filing a lawsuit over discriminatory pay."

After recounting her experience of finding out she earned less than her male co-workers and the subsequent lawsuit that followed, Shapiro pressed Ledbetter on whether or not she believes women are systematically discriminated against in the workforce.

"I don’t believe it – I know it. I know it for a fact. I traveled the world now, all over, talking about equal pay for equal work, and I’m especially popular on college campuses because I encourage young women to go out and negotiate their starting pay, to make sure they get what they’re entitled to. Everywhere I go, I hear story after story – it’s so rampant,” Ledbetter said. “African-American women are coming out of college with doctorates are starting their average pay at 82 cents per what the males start out with.”

Ledbetter provided no sources​ to support her claim. Shapiro cited an article in Time, which claimed that women "are actually paid 8 percent more in American cities." 

On the issue of Obama paying White House female staffers 12 percent less than men, Shapiro asked if she thinks "President Obama is discriminating against women in the White House?" 

“No, because they’re different job levels. A job carries certain areas of responsibility,” Ledbetter said. “I just know that the White House has different classifications, they have secretaries, they have different people at different levels, and that goes on everywhere. But when you have the same job, then you should be paid accordingly. And therefore, I don’t believe that that justifies that each person is paid exactly what the other one is, because there are different levels of qualifications or education or whatever, but they need to be similar. They need to be close; they don’t need to be 40 percent apart.”

Last week, Ledbetter stood by Obama's side as he "signed a new Executive Order to prevent workplace discrimination and empower workers to take control over negotiations regarding their pay."
