Wal-Mart Is Sued by 1.6 Million Workers LaborTalk By Harry Kelber
Wal-Mart is now faced with a monumental sex discrimination class action lawsuit, involving 1.6 million current women employees and those formerly employed since 1998, making it the largest such case in history.
Since November 2001, Wal-Mart has been a defendant in 28 complaints brought by the National Labor Relations Board, citing anti-union activities, such as threats, interrogations and disciplinary actions.
The lawsuit cites evidence that while 65% of the company's hourly workers are women, they hold only 33% of the managerial jobs. There are hundreds of women employees prepared to tell their own stories of how they were discriminated against in job classifications, wage awards and promotions.------------------------------------------- posted 8:01 AM :: reference link ::
