As you may have seen in the news media, over one million female Walmart employees, and former employees of Walmart Stores Inc., sued Walmart in a class action lawsuit. They argued that Walmart's local managers exercised their discretion over salary and promotions, and in doing so discriminated against women through failing to promote them, or give proper advances or salary increases.
That said, as the case progressed through appeal after appeal regarding its procedural stances, it finally came before the Supreme Court of the United States. In the High Court's recent decision it held that, the lower court’s certification of the plaintiffs as a “class,” pursuant to federal rules was an erroneous decision. As a result, the class action lawsuit against Walmart was stopped in its tracks. Be that as it may regarding the class action form of the claims, it does not mean that women who work or had worked for Walmart that have been discriminated against are without legal redress.
