Biz, U.S.: Supreme Court: Walmart’s massive sex bias lawsuit won’t go forward
- 9-0 Walmart won’t face a massive class-action lawsuit source
- » So, what’s next? Well, the 1.3 million women who claimed a role in the discrimination lawsuit can pursue their claims individually, but that probably won’t happen. The stakes are also lower as the scope has been lowered. Walmart also faces less pressure to settle such cases. The decision reverses a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals case that favored the employees in the class-action lawsuit, and would’ve been a huge deal had it been decided the other way.
