Though eventually overturned by an act of Congress, this Supreme Court decision in 2007 was seen as a blow against employees in proving discrimination in the workplace.
Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.

b. Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.

Explanation:

In the case of Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co in 2007, the US Supreme Court ruled that if claims were based on decisions taken by the employer 180 days ago or more, then the employers CANNOT be sued under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 over race or gender pay discrimination.

Plaintiff's were still however allowed to sue under other laws such as the Equal Pay Act which has a 3 year deadline for most sex discrimination claims.

Congress later reversed this ruling in 2009 with the passing of the LILLY LEDBETTER FAIR PAY ACT.
