Court: Wal-Mart gender pay lawsuit can go to trial

http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/04/26/walmart.suit/index.html

I picked this article because it relates to Employer-Employee relationships that we discussed in Chapter 22. The articles is about the largest class-action employment lawsuit in U.S. history. A decision against Wal-mart could cost the retailer billions... It's sad that as a nation we've come so far with equailty and still discrimination remains...

  1. I agree with how far along the country has come and there is still discrimination is something thats disgusting to see in a country where all men are created equal. But then all people definitely are not treating equally and its something you don't see very much of. I think something like this can hurt a company deeply because not only does the person look bad but the company does for allowing the discrimination.

  2. Yeah, thats pretty crazy that a huge corporation like Walmart (which I hate) still discriminates among sex. I'm sure this hurts Walmart's giant reputation. Maybe an issue like this is good to go public because then people and companies could reconsider their ethics and evaluate their actions.
