Guess this explains why they could "Rollback" prices.
(San Francisco-AP) -- A San Francisco federal judge has granted
class-action status to a sex-discrimination case against Wal-Mart.
The suit could represent as many as one-point-six (m) million
current and former female workers, in what has become the largest
private civil rights case in U-S history.
The suit alleges Wal-Mart set up a system that frequently pays
female workers less than their male counterparts for comparable
jobs and bypasses women for key promotions.
Wal-Mart had hoped to limit the scope of the lawsuit filed in
San Francisco three years ago. Anticipating today's announcement,
Wal-Mart said it planned to appeal.
