This action is complete BS. How can the experiences of just THREE women be completely and totally representative of more than one million women employed by Wal-Mart?
Get out that BS Meter, meter-keeper!
The lawyers will be dancing around their cauldrons tonight.
What do you want to bet that the UFCW (United Food and Commercial Workers) Union is financing the lawsuit?
Look for hiring freezes and an end to Wal-Mart hiring people with no experience if these feminist vultures have their way. That means high school and single-mom girls will be excluded from job offers.
If the 9th split 6-5, SCOTUS will probably overturn 8-1.
Why is it dated April 26th, 2011?
Am I logged in?
Wait, this article is from 2010. The case is now before the US Supreme Court.
I hope they bring in a TON of other employees who say otherwise, and then counter-sue for $$billions
I know a woman who works there who went right to the top in no time (she was obviously upper-management material right from the start)
This reminds me of bystanders jumping on the bus AFTER it was involved in an accident, but BEFORE the cops arrive.
No kidding, I am truly sick to death of these leeches. Walmart is a great place to shop, prices are fantastic, I sure can get more bang for my buck there then I can from just about any other place.
Don’t like your job and place of employment? Stop whining and find another one...That’s what big girls do.
Class action lawsuits are probably unconstitutional because the principle is that every case needs to rise or fall on the evidence of the individual plaintiff. It’s impossible to rule when there are essentially over a million plaintiffs, each with different evidence and experiences.
Maybe we’ll get lucky and this will go to the SCOTUS and class action lawsuits will be killed forever.
I’m a woman and when I read stories like this I immediately think of my own career choices and experiences: did these women ask for “family friendly hours” or even a family friendly career track? (I did, went part time for a decade to be with my children more, and paid the price professionally, but it was completely worth it.)
There is a price to be paid for family friendliness. . .
I know someone who was a manager at Walmarts. He had to leave because after this suit was filed, a white man could not advance in the company. He was passed over for being the wrong gender and sex.
The case was appealed to SCOTUS, and arguments heard today.
Of course, you might not have found this, as it was posted in April of 2010. Twice in fact: Wal-Mart to face Massive class-action suit (9th circus)
Anyway, the first link had hundreds of comments, so might be of interest historically.

Help me out here. I believe the 9th circus has had their decisions reversed 85% of the time. They attempt to write their own laws on almost every case.
Exactly.....if you've got deep pockets, you WILL be sued for fleecing by them.....count on it.
It doesn't matter what conjured-up/trumped-up allegations that are made, you just get an OJ Jury seated, and/or a Liberal Activist Judge.
