Wal-Mart Discrimination Suit
A group of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. employees have filed a class-action lawsuit against the company, charging the Bentonville, Ark.–based retail giant used discriminatory practices in paying and promoting women. According to the suit, female employees at Wal-Mart were routinely passed over for promotion in favor of male employees and made, on average, less than their male co-workers.
