Court Affirms Nationwide Class Against Wal-Mart
The Class Action Defense Blog has a post today here on the Dukes v. Wal-Mart gender discrimination class action. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued a revised opinion on December 11, 2007, again affirming that the case was appropriate for class action treatment. The class covers all women employed by Wal-Mart since 1998 who were affected by the company’s alleged discriminatory pay and promotion practices. That proposed class may include 1.5 million women.
