The Wal-Mart Case

Even though I personally HATE Wal Mart, I would have to agree with the ruling in the recent lawsuit regarding sex discrimination bias.  I believe the article I read said that the class action suit would involve 1.6 million women who would recieve billions of dollars in damages.  That just seems ridiculous, I don't understand law, but how would anyone have time to prove that each one of those individuals was discriminated against in some way?  I did note that several of the women are considering individual lawsuits.  I would definitely support this.  Frivolous lawsuits are a huge problem in this country and I believe that a ruling in favor of these women would just fuel that fire.  Were all 1.6 million of them supposed to be promoted to manager?  That is just a ridiculous assumption.  One of the reasons Ido not shop at Wal Mart are the slow, rude and mostly female cashiers that work there.  Personally, if I were Wal Mart i would clean house and start over.  There are so many aspects of this that I just do not have time to get into.  I've been told  that when you are hired on at Wal Mart that you have to watch a video that threatens your termination for even mentioning the word "union".  I don't know if this is true or not, I've never worked there, but it is definitely believable.  So, with that in mind I do believe that the judges decision probably made the corporate giant just a little bit more untouchable.  If there are women who were truely discriminated against by Wal-Mart, I hope they do persue this, and I hope they win.
