Wal-Mart Sex Bias Case Heads To Supreme Court
In a case that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce called "the most important class-action case facing the court in over a decade," Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will seek to break up a class-action lawsuit begun by a small group of female employees over 10 years ago. The suit has grown to include millions of female employees alleging unfair pay,"I have learned a lot of valuable lessons cfl bulbs in my short time in office and it is unfortunate that I am effectively receiving the blame now for other people's conduct over the past several years, when this has been ignored," Trump said. offensive remarks and a prejudiced workplace environment.

Supreme Court will hear arguments in a lawsuit against the world's largest retailer for allegedly giving women less pay and fewer promotions at 3,400 U.S. stores since late 1998.
According to Reuters, the case will determine whether a small group of women who began the lawsuit 10 years ago can represent a huge nationwide class of current and former employees that could total millions of women.

The Plaintiffs have a rough road ahead. According to the New York Times, Supreme Court precedent not only requires anecdotal evidence and statistics to show discrimination occurred, but requires the accuser to identify a practice or common policy that they say led to discrimination.
For that,"I really think too many people are letting table lamps the government dictate what to buy and how to use their money," she said. "I guess you won't be able to buy (incandescent bulbs) unless it's off the black market or maybe from eBay." the Plaintiffs have sought help from hotly contested sociologist William T. Bielby. Bielby, who teaches at the University of Illinois, Chicago, told the trial court that he had collected general "scientific evidence about gender bias, stereotypes and the structure and dynamics of gender inequality in organizations."
After reviewing the trial materials and combing through Wal-Mart's corporate culture, he found two aspects of the management structure that may be to blame. One was a centralized personnel policy. The other was allowing subjective decisions by managers in the field. Together, he said, those factors allowed stereotypes to infect personnel choices, making "decisions about compensation and promotion vulnerable to gender bias."
The latter has led to some of the more damning anecdotal evidence. Reuters reported that, in previous trials, members of the class have told stories of managers holding meetings at Hooters, having company outings at strip clubs and calling female employees 'girls' in official business capacities.
For now, the highest court in the land must determine the validity of the class. To do that, the Plaintiffs must establish that Wal-Mart allowed a broad culture of discrimination that continued for over a decade and affected as many as 1.5 million women.
