What did the Supreme Court decide in the Wal-Mart case? And more importantly, how did it justify its decision? (HINT: the key word here is “commonality” (and how it related to “class-action lawsuit”). Try to understand what this legal terms means, as it is key to the court’s decision).
Woman discrimination has been a problem for a while. As for the Wal-mart case is where the woman finally tried to take matters into their own hands. The women decided to sue for a lawsuit. As evidence was shown the Supreme Court decision still hasn’t been helpful towards women. In this case they was all discriminated by their sex. Everything was supposed to be equal no matter what the gender was. But the women were payed like based on their sex whether if they did the same job as a man , the man will end getting paid more.
Hello Ashanti,
Definitely disappointing to see that this nations most respected court was not able to give justice to these women who were blatantly discriminated against because they were women. Court rulings like these haven’t deterred women from continuing to fight for equal rights in jobs, pay and to be treated as valuable human beings with the same rights that all people have, regardless if they are male or female.
