Struck down by the corporate Supreme Court.
"Court blocks Wal-mart lawsuit; Decision could limit bias claims" June 21, 2011|By Mark Sherman, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court blocked the largest sex-discrimination lawsuit in US history yesterday, siding with Wal-mart and against up to 1.6 million female workers in a decision that makes it harder to mount large-scale bias claims against the nation’s huge companies.
The justices all agreed that the lawsuit against Wal-mart Stores Inc. could not proceed as a class action in its current form, reversing a decision by the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco. By a 5-to-4 vote along ideological lines, the court also said there were too many women in too many jobs to wrap into one lawsuit....
Companies as varied as the big Wall Street firm Goldman-Sachs & Co., electronics giant Toshiba America Inc., and Cigna Healthcare Inc. also face class-action claims from women they employ....
Yup, the Supreme Court has no class.
