Due to the fact that not everyone shared the same legal issue, the court decided to not move forward with one large class-action lawsuit. The women worked in different stores with different managers which made their experiences different. The court justified this by questioning the commonality of the cases being brought to them by these women. Because there wasn’t one clear or shared problem between the women, it weakened their case. Also, the fact that the women wanted money or “back pay” as a solution, weakened their case as well because that required a different kind of class action. I can kind of understand why the courts made this decision, but in the end, I don’t agree with their decision. I think it’s unfair and it makes it harder for people to want to speak out against discrimination at work.
