- The supreme court ruled the wal-mart case insufficient to proceed action against walmart based on the claims of women employees working in walmart. It justified its decision by stating that in the civil rights case suing under title VII, the case was generally under the category of classes seeking a injunctive or declaratory relief claim. This contradicted with the women’s additional demand for back pay which would amount to billions of dollars in withheld wages to women working at Walmart could only belong under the the category of a monetary relief claim. This error of class classification in the case set them for failure. The court also justified that the class of women in the case failed to meet the commonality requirement of “questions of law of fact” that were common to the women. The 1.5 million women employees at Walmart were not all discriminated against or denied pay raise or promotion at the same setting of place, the case could not stand connected at once as the Betty Dukes case tried here.
