1.) On the twentieth day of June in the year of 2011, marked a historic time period when the Supreme Court made a decision regarding the case of Betty Dukes v. Wal-Mart. Betty Dukes was among over 1.5 million females that worked for Walmart, the country’s largest private employer. Many of these females had accused the retail giant for discrimination against sex in pay and promotions. Thus, a lawsuit was put into motion and Dukes aimed to sue Wal-Mart for such. Various female workers had became aware of the fact that male employers were being treated better; a noticeable gap in salaries and limited promotion opportunities. Their case proved to be quite convincing because multiple studies were conducted to analyze the difference in pay over the course of the 13 years. Not to mention, it became evident that Wal-Mart was violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits employment discrimination based on several factors; including sex. While the case took a long time to be settled, a conclusion was made on June.20th,2011. The Supreme Court had decided to rule in Walmart’s favor because the plaintiffs did not share enough in common to constitute a class. Basically, since the plaintiff included over 1.5 million female employees, the Supreme Court made it apparent that not all of the women dealt with the same issues of inequality in the company due their sex. For example, one female employee in a particular store would face discrimination of sex because of a manager but another would not and face another issue in relations to discrimination. So, not only would it proved to be difficult for all females to share their dilemma with the company but the Supreme Court cannot find a solution that would meet the needs of all. Overall, the Supreme Court had decided to turn down their point and focus on Wal-Mart who had a straight-forward statement which led to an easier solution.
