US. Supreme Court asked to weigh in on Wal-Mart discrimination suit
Thursday, August 26, 2010
New York Times: Wal-Mart Stores has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to determine if a gender discrimination suit against the company can remain a class action, with more than a million plaintiffs. The suit, which began nine years ago, alleges women were discriminated against when promotion opportunities arose. Steven Greenhouse tells the stories of several of the women involved in the case. Stephanie Odle, who started the case but is no longer part of it because she left California, said, “We’ve already won because they already had to change their policies toward women because of us.”
