Court Approves Class-Action Suit Against Wal-Mart

Wal-Mart will be facing the biggest sexual discrimination lawsuit in history following a judgment from a federal appeals court in San Francisco that rejected an attempt to block the case from moving forward.

At least 1.5 million current and former female employees of Wal-Mart would be eligible to participate in the class action lawsuit. Even a settlement of $1,000 per worker would cost the giant retailer $1.5 billion. The case involves discrimination in pay and promotions.
