Sex-Discrimination Case Against Walmart: What Happened?

What was the sex-discrimination case against Walmart about?

Why did the Supreme Court dismiss the case?

Answer:

In one of the largest class-action sex-discrimination cases in U.S. history, female employees of Walmart claimed wage and promotion discrimination. The Supreme Court dismissed the case on grounds of its large size and diversity.

In one of the largest class-action sex-discrimination cases in U.S. history, 1.2 million female employees of Walmart claimed that the company engaged in wage and promotion discrimination. The Supreme Court threw out the case in 2011, stating that the group was too large and diverse for a class action suit.

However, the women are now suing in smaller groups, arguing that certain regional district and store managers made biased pay and promotion decisions. In 2013, a federal district court rejected a smaller California class action suit against the company.

Despite the setback, the women continue to fight for their rights and challenge the discriminatory practices they have faced. This case sheds light on the importance of equality and fairness in the workplace, and the ongoing efforts to address gender discrimination in corporate America.
