Supreme court appears ready to block sex discrimination lawsuit against Wal-Mart
The Supreme Court appears ready to block a massive sex discrimination lawsuit against Wal-Mart on behalf of up to 1.6 million women, including a Coachella Valley resident, and that could make it harder for other workers nationwide to bring class-action claims against large employers.
Unanimously overruling the San Francisco-based 9th District Court, the Supreme Court threw out a massive class action sex discrimination case against Walmart.
