Walmart
Couldn't happen to a nicer corporation :
The biggest sex discrimination lawsuit in US history has taken a big step forward with the ruling by a federal appeals court allowing a complaint brought by six women in 2001 against Wal-Mart to proceed as a class-action case. The decision means that over one million past and present female staff may seek compensation from the world's largest retailer which could ultimately run into the billions of dollars.
Walmart have been fighting the decision to allow a class action which was originally filed by 6 women in 2001.
The decision means that :
over one million past and present female staff may seek compensation from the world's largest retailer which could ultimately run into the billions of dollars.
How much this will dent Walmart is debatable and they will probably settle out of court. Regardless its good to see a company not known for union friendly policies being held to account .
As an aside, when googling for women and Walmart for this post I happened upon a way some women staff have been topping up their wages. Good to see all sexual tastes are catered for by Playboy :-)
