On Tuesday, March 29, the Supreme Court will hear the case of Dukes v. Wal-Mart. This case, originally filed in 2001, asks the Court to consider a nationwide class-action on behalf of hundreds of thousands of female Wal-Mart employees, accusing the company of discriminating against them on pay and promotion. Employment discrimination cases are usually focused on specific individuals, rather than a class action group. Background information and a chart showing the alleged disparity in pay can be found here. An amicus brief NASW has joined can be found here. Rally information can be found here. This is the Court of Appeals ruling that led to this challenge rising to the U.S. Supreme Court.
