The AP (10/3) reports, "Three Tennessee women
sued Wal-Mart Inc. on Tuesday claiming they lost pay and promotion
opportunities because of their gender." As the AP notes, this latest
discrimination suit against Wal-Mart "represents three women who each
worked for Wal-Mart for more than 10 years and seeks class-action status to
cover current and former female employees at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores in
Tennessee and parts of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and Mississippi." The
story mentions that in 2011, the US Supreme Court "tossed out a class
action lawsuit representing 1.6 million women who worked at Wal-Mart on the
grounds that their allegations were too varied to show the company engaged in a
specific nationwide pattern and practice of gender bias." Similar cases
against Wal-Mart since then have been pursued on a regional basis.
