SEXUAL DISCRIMINATION: Supreme Court to Hear Sex Discrimination Case against Wal-Mart

March 28, 2011

Washington – Female employees of Wal-Mart who filed their discrimination lawsuit against their employer will declare their arguments before the highest court this Tuesday after several years of waiting, reports said.

The plaintiffs stated that Wal-Mart has been discriminating women employees for years. They alleged their employer of giving bias to male employees in terms of promotion and wages. They also told that female workers were being impelled to wear cosmetics and “doll up.”

One of the plaintiffs, Christine Kwapnoski, a 46 year-old employee of a Wal-Mart subsidiary, expressed her worries saying that Wal-Mart may easily sweep their case.

Wal-Mart lawyer Theodore Boutrous said that the women’s arguments do not account for all the female workers. They cannot represent all the women employees working in thousands of Wal-Mart stores nationwide.

This discrimination claim cannot be folded into a single class-action, Boutrous said.
