Wal-Mart on losing end of decision regarding sex-discrimination lawsuit
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has opened the door for millions of women who claim retail discount giant Wal-Mart discriminated against female employees. A class-action lawsuit originally filed in 2001 claims the retailer paid its female employees less than male employees doing the same job, and gave fewer promotions to women employees. The class-action could involve more than 1 million women.
