- The Supreme Court ruled against the women in Batty Dukes v. Wal-Mart, deciding they lacked “commonality” required for a class-action lawsuit. The Court said the women’s experiences of discrimination were too different to be addressed with a single solution, and without a common cause or company-wide policy of discrimination, their claims couldn’t proceed as a class. In essence, the Court used legal technicalities to avoid facing the truth how modern workplace discrimination actually works: not through explicit policies, but through workplace cultures that lead to unfair treatment.
