United States Court of Appeals
for the Fifth Circuit
No. 20-10263
Sarah Lindsley,
versus
TRT Holdings, Incorporated; Omni Hotels Management Corporation,
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 3:17-CV-2942
Before Clement, Ho, and Duncan, Circuit Judges.
James C. Ho, Circuit Judge:
Equality of opportunity is fundamental to who we are, and to who we aspire to be, as a nation. Our commitment to this ideal is deeply engrained in our Constitution and in numerous federal and state laws. And a core component of our promise of equal opportunity, regardless of the circumstances of one’s birth, is non-discrimination in pay. Pay disparities can of course exist for any number of reasons, including disparities that are rational in relation to value added or driven by the pool of labor available. But what we do not accept are pay disparities due to the employee’s race or sex.
